Not much point is there? Much shorter register would mean very close up use
only - and with vignetting because of incomplete full frame coverage.

>How about OM mount lenses on the older Pen series bodies?
These adapters apparently still available from Japan. Camera Direct
(www.camera-direct.com) of Brighton UK offer them specially ordered at
around 75UKP IIRC. There are no auto linkages and lenses have to be stopped
down manually. Don't try to fit an OM lens adaptor and the Pen F meter at
the same time 'cos they jam each other up.
