p.1 #1 · Micro 4/3 Newbie Question

I am a newbie to 4/3, and before running out to pick up a G1, I thought I should ask.... if I bought, say, a Nikon-Oly4/3 adapter and then bought a Panasonic micro-4/3 adapter, can I successfully mount the Nikon on the Panasonic G1?

The idea of my Nikon 50/1.2 on G1 with the 2x factor sounds intriguing for portraits. Not to mention my pocket-sized CZ 85/2.8 and PK 135/3.5 for far objects.

Are all of the 4/3 lenses interchangeable across the platform?

I dont own any pentax and 4/3 system/lenses... But I think all 4/3 lenses are not compatible with micro-4/3 or atleast with G1. I have seen the compatibility list at Pentax site, some will need upgrade and some can not be used...

About the adapter,

Some will need permanent change in camera mount,
