I have the Olympus Pen-FT and have, and use, the Pen-F to OM lens
adapter. Olympus manufactured and sold this as well as seven or eight
other types, of which I have a Pen-F to nikon adapter (I get to say that
"n" word because Olympus made it!). I get quite a bit of enjoyment out
of the Pen-FT body and OM lens setup with a added bonus of full X-synch
up to 1/500 sec. and superb quality lens.
