Non-Zoom "Normal" Lens Lens For Old OLY DSLR

I recently got a Lumix 25mm f/1.7 for my 4/3 cameras and love the relatively fast aperture and the old-fashioned 50mm type (film equiv) experience.

I also have old 10 MP Oly DSLRs with the old mount and would like to find a similar lens. Any ideas?

KEH has the correct (pre "micro") 4/3 25/2.8 for $130. Early type 4/3 lenses are way less common than the "micro".

I have a 50mm Macro 4/3 mount for the old Olympus mount. I also have a number of Olympus 4/3 zooms including their flagship f:/2 zooms that I would like to sell. I believe they might still be listed on the UH "For Sale" section.

I have tried the same and found that there are adapters for 4/3 to MFT but not other way due to lens to sensor distance.

OM bought out Olympus when the former had financial difficulties, just as Sony bought out Minolta and Ricoh bought out Pentax.
