Olympus OM Lens on LTM Body

[aoresteen]

I can not find an Olympus OM lens to Leica screw (L39, LTM, M39) mount adapter. I can find OM lens to Leica M, and a Leica screw mount lens to Olympus OM but not the other way round.

I want to mount my Olympus 17mm lens on my Leica IIIf body (scale focus I know). Seems to me ebay had them 8 years ago but now nothing pops up.

Any idea where I might get one?

Thanks!

Oly OM 17mm???? Are you talking about the OM-D 17mm? Normally, Oly OM would mean the film variety, not the digital (there was never a 17mm film). If m43 digital, I don't think you will ever find an adapter, the flange distance is not close enough for the m43 lens on a Leica.

Ah my bad. I should have said 17mm OM mount. Yes it's a film OM lens - a Tokina RMC. Very Very good - I got it in the 80's and never let it go.
