Pen FT
"..The Pen FV/FT was a technological tour-de-force. Olympus Pen lenses, by virtue of their short focal lengths (for half-frame), had greater depth of field and ultra-high resolving power (many lenses topped 80 lp/mm at multiple apertures).

...Pen F normal (like the 42mm) lenses focus to about a foot"

This is related to why many people get such great shots with their P&S--good depth of field. Imagine coupling greater depth of field with ultra-high resolving power (In a 3600dpi negative scan, the Pen's 17.5x24mm format still delivers close to 22 megapixels of resolution (equivalent in the digital world, where it is three pixels to each image file pixel, to 66 megapixels).
