Chuck: I know the "sensor" sizes are different. It was more the similarity 
between the concepts that intrigued me.

Interesting.  Although the aspect ratio fits 4/3 the Pen F half frame is 
still quite a bit larger than the E-x sensor.  18x24 vs 13.1x17.4.  But 
that means the image circle is plenty large enough to cover the sensor. 
  I don't recall any mention here of anyone wondering about Pen F lens 
use on E-thingies.  Is the lens registration distance way off?
