I wouldn't buy R lenses only to use on a 4/3 camera. A 4/3 camera will take advantage of only 25% of the R lens' image circle, and a big part of the high cost of an R lens is the image quality over the whole image circle. I suspect that a good lens designed for the smaller 4/3 image circle would out-perform an R lens on the same camera, at a much lower cost.
