I hope the PEN works out for you, they're really sexy cameras, but it
looks like I was right, no longer quite so compact a package with the
adapter.
Still it's probably smaller than the K-5II w/smc A 24mm f2.8.

First impressions of Olympus Pen F camera that arrived yesterday.
Beautiful. A bit lighter than the comparable Fuji offerings but the
Fujis feel like blocks of carved steel and I would have no qualms with
knocking a nail into a 4X2 with a Fuji. The Pen F feels ever so slightly
less robust, but not by much.
Love the articulating rear screen including ability to close it facing
inward. Perfect.
So may knobs and buttons! Hell I won't use half of them.
Viewfinder (EVF) is okay - would love a proper rangefinder with OVF - if
only the X100 was an interchangeable lens camera. But like DSLRs - what
you see is what you get.
Menus take a few minutes to get used to, no problem.
5 axis image stabilisation device claims 5 stops of compensation.
Haven't tried it yet. Only just figured out the menus.
Ordered 2 adapters - both from Kiwi. The PK unit came today and although
the K24/2.8 juts out a bit, loved trying it out first. Angle of view
similar to a 48mm lens.
And so to keep this post on topic, here's a sexed-up Pentax lens.....

Now to drag some test shots onto the Mac....
