I have a 20mm to 200mm range of manual AI and non-AI Nikkor lens, including 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 105mm. Can I use them in a Panasonic GF1 with a M4/3 to Nikon adapter?
Can I use my older Nikkors in a Panasonic GF2 (instead of a Nikon D700)?

With the proper adaptor, yes, but focus and exposure etc will be entirely manual.

Thank you. I am concerned about the focal length a 3/4 format camera when used with regular 35mm lens. I suppose that a Nikkor 20mm f/4 will become 40mm f/4 when mounted with an adaptor on the Panasonic GF1 or similar, and similarly a 200mm f/4 will turn into a 400mm f/4. Is that so? Even my ultra wide 12mm will only turn into a 24mm, so I feel that I shall need a dedicated wide Panasonic lens for true wide angle shots in a 3/4 format body.

Yes, your lenses will be cropped significantly and your wides will feel quite unimpressive. On the plus side, your 200 practically becomes a wildlife lens :).

It is necessary then to get a 10mm lens in order to have at least a resulting 20mm wide, when using a 3/4ths camera body. I like the idea of the 200mm f/4 Nikkor becoming a 400mm f/4 with this EVIL-type camera. I am now eager to see what the Panasonic GF2 may be like (if it ever comes out).

Wow, a 600mm f/4 would be pretty hilarious on a GF2, even more so than a D40 style body.
Instant 1200mm reach!
