Talking of zone focusing and small Olympus cameras, I made a card for the Trip 35:
It does two jobs, reminds me of the hyperfocal distances for the apertures of the fixed lens, and turned on its side, I can hold it at arm's length in my right hand, and looking with my left eye alone I place the top corner where zero should be on the scale on my subject. Close left and open right eye, read the distance off the scale. Obviously it needs to be designed with your arm length and your interpupillary distance in mind, but it works surprisingly well. It wasn't my idea, but I can't recall where I found it or who should be credited.
Back to the Pen F! This, BTW, was XP2 Super before I quite figured out the processing for minimal grain:
