That site unequivocally lists OM mount--odd.

wikipedia does not---

"The T4 interchangeable mount

Most famously associated with Soligor, designed in the 1960s, (apparently by Tokina,) the T4 mount was intended to compete with Tamron's T-thread, and the later Adapt-A-Matic mounts. The idea behind these mounts was 'one lens, any mount'. A retailer, for instance, only had to keep one lens model and a few, cheap mounts, rather than many lenses in every different lens mount. It allowed automatic aperture, aperture indexing/metering facilities.

Mounts were offered in almost all popular fittings. It was superseded by the incompatible TX system, (though the T4 mount was compatible with TX lenses.) Vivitar as a brand name was owned by Ponder & Best at this time (T4 for Two).

■T4 interchangeable mounts produced for:
■Canon FL (same as FD)
■Minolta SR (Uses MC and MD line of lenses)
■Miranda bayonet (all except Sensorex)
■Miranda Sensorex
■Nikon F - Silver or black
■Pentax/Praktica universal screw (M42)
■Topcon RE  "

That be said, I would bet Ian at Srb Griturn could fabricate said adapter but it would not be 6 bucks.

T for two but not OM, Mike
