If they ever produced a FF camera, either legacy 35mm lenses or a new
line of specific (preferred) lenses would work.
I have experimented on that since 2006 and found - as stated by a
friend on the lug and leicareflex lists - that only systems work well,
the rest is either fun or utmost disappointment.
Trying to get a 4/3 or micro four thirds lens to cover a real sensor
is just ... adding layers of glass and air in between, and facing the
quirks of data transmission to the camera ...
No conjectures from me, just plain facts.

Actually, what you need is a 2x TC with one end adapt to 4/3 and
the other end to FF camera, of course the light path should be
corrected to fill the frame and proper match the camera's "flim to

who will interest on such adapter?
Then there's the little problem of the fact that the lens requires
power to operate, a smart data interface to control the aperture and
operate the focus by wire*.
Clem says "Where's the f-stop ring? I spin this focus ring, but
nothing happens, WTF?"
The adapter would need a battery and a chip to communicate with the
lens and pretend there is a µ4/3 body attached to it.
