The PM-MTob adapter shows up occassionally, it's not impossible to find. As
a temporary solution, you could drill an appropriate sized hole in an OM
body cap and carefully thread the lens into it. Just make sure the lens is
on tight enough so that it doesn't fall out during use :-) These older 20mm
and 38mm lenses use an RMS (Royal Microscope Society) thread, and it is a
standard, although a very old one that is no longer used.
