The problem with these conferters is that the distance from the lens mount to
film plane is longer with Olympus than most other 35mm camera (called the
register distance). Therefore they have to add optical elements (negative
diopters) to increase this distance optically. As a result there are optical
compromises. Not many camera stores sell these converters.
And then again there is the Cambridge problem.
