I believe that the back focusing distance isn't sufficient to allow the Pen 
lenses to reach infinity with the E-1.

But the big problem is that there isn't an adapter.  Remember, the idea was to 
allow people to use their current 35mm SLR lenses on the smaller, 
higher-capacity format (1/2 frame).  Since the Pen lenses only covered a small, 
18x24mm frame, they were useless on 35mm film.
