This lens is meant to cover a mft-sensor, it won't be usefull on any smaller sensor as (different) huge parts of the left and right images will be cut off.

Yes, I tried it.

It covers 2x vertical stripes of the MFT sensor, just so a 16Mpx sensor can crop 2 FullHD photos.
(Video mode on Panasonic is disabled with this lens. You circumvent this by taping over the
contacts and get something in the area of 480p videos.)

It seems to work well but the subject must be at a larger distance.
Much better then on Panasonic GH2 bodies because the smaller sensor crops away a lot of the MFT image circle that this lens does not illuminate.
In my test the CNC machine I frames was about 0.5-1m away from me.
I estimate that the subject should be 4-8m away for the stereo image to work out.
