I'm taking it, that my older M and A primes will work with a Pentax
adaptor on this G1.??
Yes. Until a dedicated adapter for micro43 appears, you need the
Panasonic
DMW-MA1 (FourThirds to micro43 adapter) and then a Pentax K to
FourThirds
adapter.

Found this link whilst searching this morning.
The Pentax/Nikon etc mounts seem well priced, but the DMW-MA1 adaptor
is a bit dear here.
Yes, they get a bit of cash for it. I bought mine at the local camera
dealer for US$140. Good news is that you only need one of them.
With the Pentax K to FourThirds adapters, I find it handier to have
one for each lens. I bought my Nikon F and Pentax K to FourThirds
adapters from fotodiox.com and Cirrus through Ebay. They were about US
$35 each.
(The Leica M-bayonet to micro43 adapters, so far, are running about
$190 apiece. A bit on the pricey side. :-\)
