Did you mean an adapter to use 4/3 lenses on µ4/3? I'm used to the arrow going from lens to body in describing lens adapters. Both Oly and Panny make them, and undoubtedly others.

The problem is that 4/3 lenses are designed to work well with Phase Detection AF systems. All µ4/3 bodies except the E-M I & II use only Contrast Detect AF, and adapted 4/3 lenses focus somewhere between slowly and impossibly slowly on them, depending on particular combination.

The E-M1 bodies sensors add PDAF capability. Reportedly, they are fine with 
adapted 4/3 lenses.
