NO! The early Adaptall's had a strange ring gear and one lens release
button. The Adaptall 2 "for Olympus OM" is a more compact redesign and has
a depth of field preview lever as well (not as handy as a Zuiko button but
just as effective). The later model Adaptall 2 is marked "for Olympus OL"
and has a screw shifted in position to avoid damage. All Adaptall's work
with all lenses but ideally, you need a model 2 and preferably one marked
OL.
