This might be ending up more complicated than intended. If so I'm sorry for the confusion. I'm aware the Olympus M43rds lens can be used on Panasonic bodies and that Panasonic M43rds lenses can be mounted on Olympus M43rds bodies WITHOUT the aid of any adapters. Are those the only 2 brands that can be used that way? Will the Sigma M43rds lenses require an adapter on either the Oly or Panny bodies to be used fully?
As stated before, M4/3rds lenses are totally interchangeable on any M4/3rds body for all basic functions. Sigma included. That in and of itself makes M4/3rds desirable for me.

I currently have a Panasonic GX85 ILC and 3 lenses. 2 are Panasonics and one is Olympus. Both brands of lenses work just as well on either brands bodies without any adapters. So I ask, can other brands of mirrorless lenses work just as well on either body without the aid of adapters? A specific example......can a Canon M lens work on my Panasonic M43rds body, just as easily as the Olympus lens can? Can off brand mirrorless lenses work on my Panny without an adapter?
No... and yes. Here’s a list from last summer:

Read carefully.

Only lenses with the same mount will work without an adapter, a Canon M lens is not even close to an M 4/3rd mount and so, needs an adapter!

Because Panasonic put their IS in the lenses vs Olympus who stablised the body (5 axis!). That’s why my wife and I bought Olympus for our m4/3 shooting.
Most of the better, recent Panasonic and Panasonic Leica lenses are compatible with DUAL IS II, Panasonic’s latest stabilization technology. They work in tandem with 5-axis stabilization in the latest Panasonic bodies (G85, GH5, GH5s, G9).
You get the best of both worlds — lens stabilization for distance reach with long lenses, and body stabilization for shorter focal lengths.
