I have just received a Lastolite reflector from Speed Graphic; for UK
orders at least they are good and well priced.

 Did anyone ever make an adapter to mount a "Pentax" Screw thread lens on
 an OM body?

UK mail-order supplier "Speed Graphic" sell various M42-to-xxx adapters
(called "body adaptors" in their printed catalogue); one of the "xxx" they
sell is Olympus OM.  The price is 39.95 UK pounds (that price includes the
UK's "manly" sales tax of 17.5%).  The catalogue description says that
infinity focusing is maintained, but that metering connections are not.

Speed Graphic don't have an online ordering system, but they do have an
online catalogue (try www.speedgraphic.co.uk), and you can place orders by
email or phone.  I have ordered by phone from them once, and they seemed
efficient.
