You can do that with the Kindai adapter if you remove the little screw 
that operates the aperture stop-down lever. I don't know if you can do 
so with the adapter Oly provides. I believe those with the Kindais have 
mostly ended up using it in stop-down, rather than DOF buton mode. I 
think one reason is metering. You have to press and hold the DOF button 
to see what the exposure will be, so manual exposure, spot metering on 
the 4 series any iso offset for auto exposure all become very physically 
awkward or impossible. If the adapter had a little lever to switch 
instantly between the 2 modes it would be quite practical. But it is not 
an easy switch in the field - and if you lose the little screw, 
oooooohhh.............
