Adaptor for an Olympus 4/3 mount lens

[46100ROYALSCOT]

I hope one of you knowledgeable guys can help me out. I have an old Rollei SL35 SLR camera with a Plannar 1.8/50 lens. Last year I purchased an Olympus E450 DSLR with the 4/3-lens mount. What I am after is an adaptor so that I can use the Rollei lens on my Olympus. I have seen a new adaptor listed on Ebay, which converts from Rollei to M4/3. Question are the M4/3 (and shall I call it “standard”) 4/3 mount,which the Olympus uses compatible?

Somebody beat me to it. I have been using SRB for decades for all the usefull adapters you can get. I started using them when I wanted a pentax bayonet mount so I could use my M42 screw thread lenses.

I heard back from the above company listed in the link and after a couple of emails it seems they don't sell a suitable adaptor, a company in the US lists one at something like $170, much more than i want to pay. Thanks again guys for your very useful help.
