When I looked at pictures of the Panasonic version in the above URL, the lens mount looked suspiciously like the mount on my old Pen F. When I exhumed my old Pen from the storage drawer and compared the mounts, they look very much alike. I know that the 4/3 mount has electrical contacts that are absent on the Pen, but are the flange dimensions and back focus alike? I also have the Pen to OM camera adapter. If the adaptor can be fitted to the 4/3 camera, all of my old and very good OM lenses may also fit. The adapter looks identical to the one currently being offered for using OM lenses on the Oly E-300. Questions, questions. Larry Z
