Hi
Can I get an adapter so I can use my om fit
lenses on my Nikon D700?

Tia.
 
I looked into this a few months ago. Although an initial google search may give many hits, some of the links will be for adaptors to Nikon Z, or Nikon 1, or for going the other way, Nikon lens to OM. I did read somewhere a description of why it is difficult to produce a OM -> Nikon F adaptor, but can't remember where.

There are some adaptors on eBay which require the rear part of the existing OM lens mount to be removed (with a screwdriver) before attaching the adaptor - more of a semi-permanent change of mount than a conventional adaptor.
 
I looked into if for adapting lenses onto my D3200 a few years back. Because of the flange distance on the Nikon F-mount you will lose infinity focus on most other lenses if adapted. Some adapters have a lens fitted to counteract this, but unless you pay more money the optical quality might be questionable. If you can live without infinity focus then you should be ok though - I used an adapter to mount an M42 55mm Takumar to my D3200.
