Some research into screw mount bodies led me to K mount with a simple
adapter. There is no automation with this purely pre-set lens anyway, so
an adapter seems fine. Looking around some more, I found this Robert
Monaghan page <http://medfmt.8k.com/bronmounts.html#opto> on lens mount
converters. The section 'Optical Adapters Have only Modest Effect on
Sharpness' convinced me that a converter is the way to go. Couldn't find
an M42 to Oly adapter readily available and Nik*on adapters are cheaper
and readily available, so one is on its way.

Now I'm more intrigued by this lens. It has a little dust inside, is
'T' coated and the glass is perfect. Which Pent*x or other brand M42
screw mount camera is most similar to an OM-1 or 2? Or simply
interesting and cheap?
