You have no idea. I've already seen folks posting pics of adapting Olympus Pen F, M39 (Leica thread mount), Canon FD, Leica M, and there's talk of a Contax G adapter (it's an autofocus system, so getting focus control is the big problem). One of the main appeals of µ4/3 for vintage lens geeks is the fact that it can take all the SLR lenses, as well as rangefinder glass. If you do a search on eBay for adapters to micro four-thirds you'll see a fairly staggering array.
