Thanks Doug.....

The Pen lenses came in these Fl:
20, 25, 38, 40, 42, 60, 70, 50-90, 100-200, 100, 150, 250 mm and more
telephotos that are pretty rare.....

So pretty much, you are talking about normal ( FOV) to telephotos on the 4/3
format using Pen F lenses......

If there were a M adapter to 4/3 ( and we now know that Panasonic has
announced one), the FL are more wide angle related.... with the 12 and 15mm
Cosina lenses through to the 135mm.

I think this may be a reasonably priced solution to the Digi-M.  ( albeit
4/3 sensor size.....which will impact noise levels)

1/4 the surface area, about 1/2 the diagonal so a 35mm lens on a 4/3 camera
has the field of view of a 70mm lens on a 24x36mm camera.
