There are some Russian company that sells a confirmation len adapter, 
but it may only be for the OM mount. Check out dandelion or something 
like that on EBay.

I am not sure how easy it is for Olympus to turn it on in the 
firmware, but they have always seem to be reluctant to support non-ZD lens.

OTOH, IS works with non-ZD lens now so it's a good thing.
