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. Dennis On Oct 8, 2007, at 6:22 AM, Didier Ludwig wrote: > Dennis > Do you mean the Pentax Super Takumar 50/1.4?
