Certainly hard to say how. The rear of the doublet in the P02 is pretty flat and at most level with the base of the 46
mm threads. Is there a lens with convex front element that protrudes out into the thread area? That seems impossible, as
it would hit any filter, so why have threads at all. No, I can't see where the P02 would be any more danger than an
ordinary filter.
ps: The MCON-P01 is reported by that link to be a bayonet fitting... not
threaded.
A single element isn't going to protrude anywhere. Bayonet fitting would make sense. The 14-42s and 45/1.8 have matching
bayonet fittings on the front; the trim rings are interchangeable. The 14-150 has a bayonet fitting for hood on the
front. the lens comes with "MA-P01 Macro Adapter", which probably connects the two bayonets. Bayonet macro adapters are
nicer to use than filter threads.
