Pen F is a half frame camera. You will get a large image circle on your full camera camera.

Either convert it to m39 or make a custom adaptor. Wink

well, that is what i am trying to find out in this post, if there are any existing ways to mount original pen lenses on m39 bodies. i assume calvin's answer is 'no'. any other answers?
thanks

Olympus Pen F bayonet mt. 28.95mm register
Leica screw M39×26tpi thread mt. 28.8mm register

you would need an adaptor which is 0.15mm thick.

---> lens surgery

P.S.: we have a sticky about lens registers here; it does not hurt to read it Wink
