I've just bought a Nikkor cine 25mm 1.4, will it be ok with my GH1 ? Is there any vignetting ? thank you ?Infinity of Kern 25/1.4 is ok, but not sharp.
I sent lots of lens to Hawk for modification , such as Tevidon 25/1.4 , Tevidon 35/1.9, etc.
Some C mount without modification is ok.

Great shots from all these different lenses (some clearly better than others). My question is, is there some sort of adapter system that will provide the conversion from all these different brand mounts to m4/3 simply by adding/removing rings (or something like that) or one must have a gazillion adapters, one for each mount type?

There are numerous adapters to 4/3 format. One can use these along with a 4/3 to m4/3 adapter. JinFinance also does this with their Nikon/OM/Pentax adapters, too. There is a common base adapter, with different intermediate adapters. However, other legacy lenses (such as Canon FD) need their own adapter.
Another example -- one can purchase a Leica thread mount (LTM) to m/43 adapter, or a LTM to Leica M adapter, and a Leica M to m4/3 adapter. The former route is cheaper and less complicated if one has only LTM lenses. The latter route is more flexible if one has both LTM and Leica-M lenses.
Whether or not a base+intermediate adapter system is viable, will depend on register distance and special coupling requirements.

which is why some of us focus on 1 or 2 lens types
however you can get 4/3 adaptors much more cheaply (well the gap seems to be closing) than micro4/3 adaptors. If you get a 4/3 to micro 4/3 and mount the others it will be cheaper
it might be less accurate for infinity focus and with 3 joining surfaces rather than 3 it will also be less "rigid"

I'm not sure about that. The 4/3 to m4/3 adapter costs $180. I paid $37 for my Pentax K to m4/3 and I am watching a Canon FD to m4/3 on my eBay being sold for $39. I can get 3-5 adapters for the price of the 4/3-m4/3 alone.

Rather than on the body, an OIS switch is on each lens that has this feature (14-45, 14-140, 45-200, 45 macro). The 20mm and 7-14 zoom do not have OIS, so there is nothing to turn off. Likewise with legacy manual lenses.

I guess you are quoting the price of an electronic mount one ... since you would be intending to use it with legacy lenses that would be unrequired. as I assumed this was the case (as you had been discussing that) I discussed what I did.
jinfinance sells (or did sell) kits for under US$100 which came with that and your choice of 2 micro4/3 to XX adaptors ...
I am often left wondering in this day and age with so much online why people are not able to do a quick google about on this sort of topic and seem to harbour ideas such as this and others like:
*you can't mount this on micro 4/3
* micro 4/3 has a smaller sensor
