OK, I'll bite first.

I can think of three - N*kon, Pent*x and Jupiter.  Of those, only Nik*n
mount could possibly mount to an OM with infinity focus, but I think there
is insufficient leeway for the bayonet.  But Pent*x with an optical element
in the adaptor would do the trick.  But at what cost to the bokeh?  An
alternative would be the Jupiter with a lash-up adaptor (maybe you used a
hacksaw on the mount, followed by epoxy and a T-mount?)  But seeing as the
distant trees are*not* in focus, the final choice is ... Pent*x 85/2 in M42
mount, held on with chewing gum.

Dear Zs,

The Zuiko 85mm f2 is generally considered to have very good bokeh.
Earlier this week I did a quick comparison between the Zuiko and a
competitor's 85/2.

Anyone like to take a guess at what the other 85/2 is ?
