Indeed you can, Morgan - so can I :-) - but other OM>EOS adapters have an
fixed lever which bears on the lens aperture operating lever, so that the
diaphragm ring on the lens stops down the diaphragm (as if the lens had a
manual, not auto diaphragm). And others still have a removable screw which
permits a choice between the two methods. But neither is an auto diaphragm
linkage.

Piers,
I can stop down any OM lens with my finger, using the DOF tab on the side of
the lens.
Is there any such thing as an OM>EOS adpater that retains an auto-diaphragm
linkage?
