If it is a 35mm *movie* camera lens, it is designed to cover half-frame, as
that is the standard 35mm movie frame size. I don't know why, but I am
remembering the back focus of the Pen F and FT as something like 26mm or
28mm, it is much less than most other (full frame) SLR's and that is why
there was a wide range of adapters for Exakta, Pentax, Nikon, OM, Minolta?,
etc made for the Pens. A 50mm focal length on the Pen would be a slight
telephoto length, about 65mm equivalent on an OM, but the f0.95 would be
nice if it is sharp. The FT viewfinder is pretty dim even with my 40/1.4 so
another full stop would help.
