I received an Olympus Pen-F 100/3.5 lens today. I was so lucky, my lens is in mint condition.
The lens is only slightly larger than a Voigtländer 90/3.5 Apo-Lanthar. Very cute, and seems to have great character. Sharpness is good but it doesn't handle flare very well, even with the original hood. Can't say much about the bokeh yet but what I saw on the screen looked good.
This is another lens that is going to go up in value, they can still be had for a modest amount of money.
I will upload a few pictures later on when I have charged the battery.

Btw, I received this "RJ Camera pen F -m4/3" adapter as part of the deal. Can this adapter be used with a 4/3 camera like the OM-D as well?

As far as I know, OM-D is also M43, not 43...

Great lens!!!!
Smooth bokeh, good resolution and contrast.
In Montevideo (Uruguay) a lot of professional photographers of wedings use mix system (film and DSRL). And with film, the Olympus pen F series.
I'm understanding why. |

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the pictures, but they really aren't that good 
The lens is great but a little bit tricky. I think that it has great character and it is sharp enough, even wide open. It surely is one of the more underrated Pen-F's. Actually, everything I've read about it has been great, but no-one seems to use this lens...

I am also certain that it's price will increase.
it certainly also makes a great portrait lens, might have shown those before in a thread about "Cosplay in Taipeh", on NEX5N:
