It is basicly an adapter that gives your full frame lenses the same fov on a aps-c camera that it has on a fullframe camera AND adding a stop of light.
Seems exciting for gh2/3 shooters.

This has been posted already. But to add a comment, its sounds like the reason it works on the emount cameras is due to the short flange distance so it might not be possible on gh2
