Manual metering and aperture. They will focus to infinity though.
Magnification factor is about 1.4X.

Due to the magnification factor, you can't get much in wide angle, even the
18/3.5 winds up being the equivalent of about a 24mm lens. But on the
telephoto side, your 100/2.0 will work as a 140/2.0, and a 200/2.8 behaves
as a 280/2.8... if you have a 350/2.8 it gets you a nearly a 500 with the
same aperture... you keep the brightness even though the effective focal
length is longer. The OM Zuikos are much larger than the Pen F Zuikos
physically, so they fit awkwardly on the camera body...

That seems to be on the high end, but in the range. I paid ~$75 for mine on
the 'bay with shipping...
