I want the same effect as reversing the lens on a K-mount body, so I need to the m4/3 to PK adapter. When I reverse mount the 50mm, I expect 1:1.

I assume you understand that what the 1:1 magnification will contain on the m4/3 sensor image is equivalent to what a 2:1 magnification would contain on the FF format image.

Yes. I want the actual 1:1. I have a dedicated macro lens, and have used extension tubes with the 50mm to reach 1:1.

I just want to verify what you get when reversing the lens. It's more of a test than anything else.
