- Panasonic lenses can be used on Olympus.
- Olympus lenses can be used on Panasonic.
- Four Thirds lenses can be used on Micro Four Thirds (with an adapter, like the Olympus MMF-3).
- Leica M lenses can also be used with an adapter like the Panasonic DMW-MA2M adapter for Leica M.
- Super-fast lenses such as those from SLR Magic.
- Voigtlander f/0.95 17.5mm and 25mm lenses for Micro 4/3 format.
