Not as far as I know.

There have been some huge aperture lenses throughout the years.

Canon made an 85mm f/0.95 which went with the 7S rangefinder and they also did an EF 50mm f/1. Nikon also made a 50mm f/1.1 for it's rangefinders.
Don't forget there was also the Leica Noctilux 50mm f/0.95 released last year (to replace the f/1.0 model) but that's got an RRP of $11,000!

If you could get hold of the Canon 50mm f/1.0 or either of the Leica Noctilux's you could get an adaptor and mount them on 4/3 but they're all painfully expensive. Thats why this is so interesting - for $750 it's either going to be complete cabbage or the deal of century!
