It was my understanding that OM lenses couldn't directly mount onto a Nikon F mount camera because of a discrepancy in distance from mount to sensor bein that inifinity focus isn't achievable without some sort of glass element in between. I can't see any glass on the linked item yet it claims to offer infinity focus....
 
Looking at the description, it appears the intention of it is to replace the rear mount rather than be added as an adapter. Then the mount only has to be the correct depth to the film/sensor plane to give infinity focus.
 
You're right, somehow didn't pick up on that. Unfortunately I use all my OM gear on OM cameras so wouldn't fancy changing the mount. Might have to file that idea away.
