Novoflex( http://www.novoflex.de/html/index_e.htm ) makes a quite a few
adapters including the one you are after (part no. LEM/OM). There, of
course, is no coupling to the camera rangefinder so you will have to
estimate or zone focus. The LTM/M adapters screw onto the lens but are have
been known to stick to the camera at times when removing the lens. Finally,
I do not live in NYC so no advice there.
