I have not bought them recently but the Old style Novoflex bellows used to be 
very cheap $20-35US. They are much better than OLY or similar system bellows, 
for field use being both much more compact and more robust.   Very old ones 
meant for Leica M series lenses already have a 39mm flange.  You can also use  
39mm enlarger lens flanges (non Novoflex),  mine cost about $5 ea, usually a 
darkroom specialty house stocks them. You may need to drill 4 small holes in 
the flange to match the pitch of the Novoflex mount hole spacing. If you want a 
good quality OM flange for the back you can use a donor as-is 50mm F1.8, lens 
from KEH for ~ $10 or get a suitable T adapter for 4/3 etc.
