The OM adapter is the only one for the pen that would allow as much control as the pen's own lens. (and besides the metering is uncoupled so you'd have to translate to the lens anyways)

Course did you find one that wouldn't need to rob a bank for? (om adapter that is)

I couldn't believe the last one in ebay stood at 67 GBP 4 days before closing. Probably more people than me wondering so it was the last bid. High enough though!

I'm a glad owner of that nice piece & it translates just nothing, neither aperture information nor diaphragm closing.
As more than 3/4 of my pics are taken at full aperture i never missed it ;o)
I spent 65Euros in mint conditions & to be honest i use it rarely - why a tiny camera like this with somehow oversized lenses - on the other hand my Zeiss Planar is a regular partner
