Borrowed a friend's Nikon 600mm f4 to Sungei Buloh, slapped on the GF-1 for the 1200mm reach, and it was so much fun! Even had videos of the birds at 1200mm, but it's a pain to upload to youtube with my limited videography skills so cannot show you, sorry.
GF-1+Nikon 600mm F4
Egret I think.No cropping
Green tinge on the right was because camera partially blocked by leaves, not flare or chromatic aberration. Skin and teeth a bit overblown. My bad. No cropping.

Those lenses just keep getting bigger 
Compactness is just one aspect of m4/3, it is also an exciting platform where one can rediscover legacy lenses of all sizes and accessories in the digital world.
Some test samples from :
- E-P2 + Zeiss Contax mount 85mm f/1.4, AE version (i.e. older version)
- RJ Camera adapter for CY mount to m4/3
- Contax extension tube 13mm. Other extension tubes can be combined, but I wanted just a less extreme closer capture for this test
- all handheld at f/4 or f/5.6 to show more of the subject while still retaining some bokeh
* coming next will be from an M-mount lens using a Leitz Oufro extension ring .... this is an old accessory (1950s) used with Visoflex for a troublesome way to shoot close-up with a Leica M rangefinder. With m4/3, it's a different story now, TTL, and the accessory gets a new lease in life

Very nice adapter indeed. It's wonderful be able to keep the Pen nice and compact with it.
Thanks for sharing

Hi guys, I am thinking of getting a M to M43 adapter so I can mount my Voigtlander RF lens. The original Voigtlander adapter is way too expensive. I found this brand called Metabones from japan which is priced nicely between the 3rd party and voigtlander. Anyone has experience with it? http://www.metabones.com/Product.html

Hope I can join you soon. Very impressive, the E-P2 n Contax 85f1.4 combo.

Here are some macro samples with an M-Mount lens through a Leitz Oufro extension tube. The Oufro is an old accessory (around 1965) used with the Leica Visoflex system for close-ups.
At least with the lens I used, dof is super narrow. Pictures below are at f/4 or f/5.6 and still small area in focus. Good for those who want the sharpness of narrower apertures and still get bokeh, but tough to use.
I think I would only go up to f/8, though. So when bigger areas need to be in focus, I'd use another combination instead, like Zeiss lens + extension tube, etc.
Here is how it looks (in someone's blog):

E-PL1, 50mm Summilux f/1.4 pre-asph, Leitz Oufro
All ISO 200, aperture f/4 or f/5.6
