Alaun Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks Alex and John, I will try to get an adapter with that pin. The current one I might glue something into the ring, but its design is not perfect for that (there is a small gap I would have to cover towards the lens flange) and yes it is slightly tight, but still ok.

Alex H Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 John, here are two threads about it. The first one discusses coating differences of PEN-F/FT lenses but also discusses the mount variations http://forum.mflenses.com/lens-coating-yellow-vs-blue-t62340.html The second is more about the mount variation itself, with many examples http://forum.mflenses.com/lens-mount-variability-in-olympus-pen-f-ft-lenses-t62556.html Link to comment
JCDowdy Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Alex, as usual you are a well of information!Some of these postings look vaguely familiar, thanks for refreshing my broken mental links! - addedEspecially interesting is the discussion about coatings. Link to comment
JCDowdy Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 It was discussed on another forum that the lens mount in these PEN-F/FT lenses may have variable thickness and shape of the edges. So, some adapters are too tight for some lenses, and work fine for others. While some adapters are oo loose. If the lens-adapter connection is too tight – please do not force it. I almost broke one lens in such way. I ordered a second Pixco PEN-F to µ4/3 adapter from the same Ebay seller and as you warned it was to tight to work. Unfortunately this seller seems to prefer prolonged negotiation over prompt resolution so I can no longer recommend either. Caveat emptor Link to comment
