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 mount" distance. It is technical possible but you lost two stops, 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.

Not So Curious Moose
