I think this site is in error. I remember being excited about the T4
announcement and looked for an OM implementation for probably several
years. I never found one.

thinks there was a T4 for Olympus although the timing makes it seem
unlikely. Still less likely is the chance of finding one now!

OK, now I understand. AFAIK there never was an OM to T4 adapter.

Thank, guys, mystery solved. I didn't give the correct terminology. My
Soligor 300/5.5 mount is actually a T4. It has automatic diaphragm
support. The T4 adapter drops into the back of the lens when the
diaphragm pins are aligned properly. It then locks in place with a
ratchet mechanism tightened by a ring with a nub labeled O/C.
The links to mounts you folks posted are T2, but that doesn't do me any
good. The T2 mount was a screw-in 42mm, mostly used with preset lenses
in the late 60s-early 70s. I had such a preset lens back then (a 135/3.5
Vivitar), but not now.
When I first got the lens, I was unable to find a T4 to OM adapter for
it. I was told that they don't exist, only the later TX mount supports
OM. So I ended up getting a T4 to Nikon mount, and a Nikon to 4/3
adapter. I took the cell tower test shot I posted yesterday with that
setup on my E-30, and have also fooled with the lens on my E-M5 by
adding my Panny 4/3 to micro 4/3 adapter. So the Tokina 2x
teleconverter will fit into that setup.
So many adapters!

I have one on my Tilt-shift bellows that is so-so and a spare Jeff K
