I use the SMCT. I'll have to try the SMC for B&W in the future.
Recently purchased Pentax Super Tak 35/2 (early 67mm version)
& 85mm 2.2 Soft Focus. Another lens to try is the Cooke 2" Amotal.
Probably a few more others may add to the list. Hopefully in the future,
there will be someone who manufactures a M to 4/3rds adapter.

FWIW, E-330's dropping in price as low as $600 from original $1100 
street price.
Digilux 3 uses same self cleaning sensor with tweaked software. 
Although I
use E-330, I need an all weather digital & considering Pentax K10D for 
my
other Pentax lenses I have used on my 1977 MX. Soon to be released in
mid Nov. Oly E-3P also an option.
