I've seen their page before. The prices for their adapters are outrageous
as I can get the exact same thing from Asia for less than $15. But, seeing
that they are marketing the Minolta MC/MD adapter for use with the E-300 and
E-500 makes me feel confident that it can be done, so I'll get the one from
Roxeen.

No, it's a Soligor C/D series lens that does not show up very often.
There is another lens in that series I've been interested in but it never
appears in the M42, OM, Nikon F/AI, or Pentax K mounts. If the Minolta MC/MD
can be adapted to the E-500 then I won't have to sweat out waiting around for
one to show up.
