"I would like to fit my Leica M lenses on the Olympus body. Would that be
possible?
I mean technically. Can you fit a rangefinder lens (without the automatic
diaphragm) on a reflex camera?

If so, how could that work?
"

You wouldn't get infinity focus, and even if you could put an M lens
(non-Viso) on a reflex body you'd have to be careful to use only those
lenses that wouldn't interfere with the reflex mirror.
