No. There have been frequent and long discussions available in the 
archives.  It has to do with the distance from the mount to the film 
plane. I believe that putting an adapter, no matter how thin, between 
an Oly lens and any camera puts the lens too far away from the film 
plane to focus on infinity. Maybe something for the Sigmas of the 
world to do. Design a thin digital SLR with adaptors for legacy 
lenses.
