Here's an interesting article on adapting your OM2/1 lenses to digital use:
First of all, the lens has to be mounted on the camera body. E-Series cameras use the Four Thirds standard bayonet, providing both the mechanical coupling and the digital interface between lens and body. Obviously, the Four Thirds standard is compatible only with the Four Thirds lenses.
The mechanical connection can be, however, provided with use of lens adapters. Such an adapter is a short metal ring with a Four Thirds male bayonet at the rear, and the female lens mount (bayonet or screw-on) at the front.
The article goes on to talk about a lens adapter that you'll need, which will cost about $100 or so. But it will have some limitations in focusing. But it certainly is doable.
