M39 lens to Olympus 4/3 E-420 adapter?

[Bobfrance]

Found this on the UK 'bay site (from China of course).

Does this look correct to you gents? I didn't think it was possible, but I'd be very happy to be proved wrong.

Description:
1.This mount adapter ring which allows Leica M39 mount lens to be used on your Olympus 4/3 system (E-1, E-3,E-300,E-330,E-400,E-410,E-500,E-510, E-520 etc..) bodies.
2.made of aluminum
3.focus to infinity

I'd be grateful for your opinions.

It's not possible without corrective optics. For Zenith M39 SLR lenses the adapter is too thin, for Leica thread mount rangefinder lenses it is much too thick (i.e. it would require negative thickness). At best you can take macro photos on an Olympus SLR with it. Don't buy it.

Thought as much. Thanks for the info

Hope springs eternal! 🙂

The photo says "M4/3". With Micro Four Thirds it's no problem: but then I don't see why the seller should have dropped the "M" at other places and specified various 4/3 models.
