The Olympus MC 1.4 and MC 2.0 will only work with Olympus Pro lens so their 40-150mm f2.8 or 300mm Pro f 4 lens for example.
Having had a mooch around the it seems that they will work BUT I have no experience of this as all my gear is Olympus and I do not own anything Panasonic.
Also looking around I found this on Panasonic site that list Compatibility between Panasonic bodies and various lens.
av.jpn.support.panasonic.com
BUT again I have no experience of this.

It also works with the Olympus 100-400 which is not a pro lens. I don't think it works with an Panny lenses.The Olympus MC 1.4 and MC 2.0 will only work with Olympus Pro lens so their 40-150mm f2.8 or 300mm Pro f 4 lens for example.

Panasonic sent me a similar chart for the G9.
It seems the reason they "won't" work with other lenses is the small aperture you would end up with

The charts says it will work with Panasonic lenses, but it won't solve the aperture issue.
Panasonic also say their converter only works with shorter lenses, but I am told that it does work with the 100-400, however it is a bit expensive to buy just to find out it doesn't.
The aperture I think I could live with light wise, but coupled to the aperture is loss of autofocus, which seems to be the biggest loss.
Te Olympus one seems to go for quite a bit less, hence my interest in it.
