Summary

Now I belong too to the proud user group of this nice WA lens :)
After making first tests and pictures, I found a little disadvantage combined with a relative small camera like my PEN EP 5:

A tripod mount like other heavy lenses are supported with was missing here.

Sure, a WA lens is not supposed to get fixed on a tripod in common use, but for night shots or more-step panoramic pictures a tripod is needed. At least have to develop a nodal point sledge further ; )

The lens isn’t with 620 gr not really light. So I thought it would be a good idea for tripod use, to carry the camera with the lens and put not the whole load on the cameras lens bayonet.
The MFT version is supplied with a extending-tube that is needed to bridge the distance of the short DSLR version. This tube has space enough to get used for a bracket around.

But now let it print or print it by your self if you like it..

Additional stuff:

2x Hex-socket screws M3x40 plus 2 nuts M3
1 Tripod-adaptor 1/4" UNC - 3/8" UNC.
Keep an eye on them and look that they have some more than one thread turn and a stable neck. There is much cheap bs sold in the web and not worth to carry expensive equipment.

Tools:

3mm drill bit
3/8" - 16 UNC taper
(People living in metric-country like me, can order this "uncommon" taper for less bucks in the www)

Final assembly:

Drill the screw holes out so the screws can turned easy in their place.
Cut the thread in the tripod-screw hole. Take care that the taper is adjusted in right angle while drilling. The hole is still designed for the fitting core diameter. Now screw the adaptor tight in.
Mount the two parts on the lens and tight the screws to the point the bracket is fixed without turning around. Keep a small gap to the aperture ring while fixing. Otherwise it will block the ring.
Now you can fix the tripod plate and get happy with it..
