I found this link, maybe it will be helpful. It mentions using them on the GS1

Registration is shorter than Olympus Pen. There are adapters available for Micro 4/3rds cameras. The lenses are good (110 film was not, and that doomed the system) only drawback is that the lenses have no aperture control (aperture was combined with the shutter inside the camera), so they have to be used wide open, unless you make your own aperture discs. Here's a thread with some picture taken with my lenses on an E-P1:

By the way, the name of the System is Pentax Auto 110.

Cheers!
