Is there or will there will be an adapter to allow m4/3rds lenses on a 4/3rds body

Is there or will there will be an adapter to allow micro 4/3rds lenses on a 4/3rds body. I would love to be able to use some of the micro four thirds lenses and adapters on a four thirds camera. Is this even possible to make?

Thanks

nope, the lenses use different physical mount and back register distances, and the smaller of the 2 (m4/3rds) is not compatible upwards with 4/3rds.

I think it is impossible WITHOUT an additional optics in the adapter (to get infinity focus). Flange back of m43 system is much shorter than full 43. That's the reason why m43 body can take pretty much any film camera lenses in the world as long as there is a simple adapter for the system you want to adapt. That can't be done the other way around.

Makes sense with the explanations. Well I can still dream of having an E3 and an Ep1 with full lens compatibility, right?
