I apologize if this question has been dealt with elsewhere but:

Is anyone marketing an adapter to allow the use of traditional Olympus Pen lenses on the new digital Pen EP-1?
 
Not that I've seen so far. But a colleague of mine has a pen to OM adapter, (pen lens on OM body) from quite a few years back, which could be mated to a OM to m4/3's adapter, which olympus does make.
Seems like a good match up though, doesn't it?

While there are 3rd party Pen F to M43 adapters,
Olympus is expected to marketed their own Pen F to M43 adapter soon.

If they went to the trouble of calling it a "Pen", and going with the nostalgia of 50 years since the Pen was introduced, and reproducing the look of the Pen, etc., etc., one can be excused for thinking that the FIRST adapter they made would be a Pen to Pen adapter.
 
I'm still hoping all the EP-1 hype will prompt the 3rd parties to make new XXXX-Pen F adapters for the old Pen series... the adapters that are available are ridiculously priced.
 
There are two currently available adapters for Pen lenses on micro 4/3.

Ebay sellers are:

Jinfinance
hawkpeng2003

I've seen both, the hawkpeng2003 is a c-mount adapter with a Pen F bayonet flange. The Jinfinance is a straight Pen F to micro 4/3.
