Yes absolutely. One of my 'future' projects will be to convert a
'microscope' Pen F (really a Pen FT without a meter) into a usable camera...
on big difference is the focusing screen. I believe I can possibly cut down
an OM screen (probably a 1-13 since they're everywhere) and fit it. But I
won't know for sure until I try. Its more than just cutting to size, the
actual location has to be just right for focus accuracy. So I'm kind of
waiting to try it until I gather enough courage to believe I can get it
right. Plus it will mean almost a complete dismantling of the camera to get
it in there, adjusted and fit right.
