Hmmm indeed, that should work very well - for macro work. Nothing at all to
lose, except for infinity focus!
Don't forget that M-mount has a lens flange to film plane distance of
27.95mm, while OM runs to 46mm.
:-( ?

Subject: [OM] Re: OM to M-mount adapters and vice versa?
It's definitely vibration I'd be interested in comparing between my OMs and
Bessa R.
But you've got me thinking now - are there any adaptors out there that go
the other way - ie to mount LTM or M lenses on the OMs? I'm thinking then I
could use the Voigtlander ultra wides on an OM1 with the mirror locked up...
Nothing to lose here since apart from the 21 they're not rangefinder coupled
and you have to use the accessory shoe finders anyway.
Hmmmm.
