Nope. Check out this link (below) to see that a 4/3" sensor is _much_ smaller than even an APS sized sensor, which in turn is quite a bit smaller than a full frame 36x24 mm. A lens for a 4/3" would be unacceptable for APS and one designed for APS would have the same problem as the D-30/D-60 do with focal length multipliers when using standard 35mm format lenses.

That is really an interesting page. The 4/3" sensor is about half the size of half-frame 35mm. Hard to imagine sticking a 35 mm system lens on the front of that.
