if yes the image circle would be very very small...unuseable is my guess.

For sure. A lens designed for 8mm cine will be hopeless on m4/3, especially with a focal length down to 8mm.

I'm no expert on cine. What's the mount on this lens? What is the registration distance? Probably very small, so doubly useless on m4/3.

I am pretty sure rear part of the lens is missing. Many 8mm cams have rear part of the lens separated. One would have to put two parts together again after surgery. But it's not the first time i see such crippled lenses sold without warning. I might be wrong though.
