If it has an Olympus lens mount, sure. But also be aware that Oly has a new 4/3s format which may cause issues.

I'd guard against a lens adapter though. The tradeoffs are loss of some auto functions, a loss of up to 2 stops in light, and some clarity issues.

My suggestion would be to sell the lens on eBay and apply the money towards the cost of a lens designed for the camera.

But any Olympus lens mount will fit the Olympus system. Worst case, just in manual.
