You'd need an OM to M42 adaptor and a 49-39mm step-down ring. Good luck!
I'd love the OM-M42 adaptor myself. It must be out there! The 42-39 is a
skinny ring I found by accident on an old enlarging lens being used as a
retaining flange. I love the older style Rodenstock 105mm because it takes
49mm filters! (and because I got it for AU$35 in a Cash Convertors!)
The only other approach is a Zoerk adaptor, but I don't think they do Oly.
As to Rube Goldberg, I'll leave that to the sceptics to answer but I assume
he's someone known for ingenuity.
