The Olympus is micro 4/3 format.
I believe Pentax is still has the lightest, most petite APS-C cameras
and the K-1 may be the lightest "35mm" Full-frame.
Plus the OM-D is mirrorless. No mirror box. Not even a tiny micro 4/3
mirror box.
Going the other way, I actually find the Pentax bodies a bit smallish
for my clumsy hands if I don't have the battery grips installed.
The one Olympus item I am considering is their EE-1 Dot Sight that
mounts on the hot shoe.

while the lens is significantly lighter (even though it's
f2.8, not f4), the OM-D body is actually quite a bit heavier
than the K5. (The K3 is heaver than the K5, too, but still
significantly lighter than the OM-D M1X, even with a grip).
I was rather curious about this. For decades, Pentax was agreed to be the
lightest and petitest of the major manufacturers, generally without a lack of
facility. I can remember discussions here about it being one of the
attractants. It will be interesting to see if you decide that the saving in
mass was worth the expenditure.
