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.
