Recently I found an article showing Angenieux 12-240mm adapted to be used on Canon 7D making it a 38mm-768mm lens on APC sensor or 24-480mm in 35mm.

Would this set-up work? Angenieux 12-120mm (cameflex) > M4/3 (adapter made by Hawk) > Doubler (teleconverter) > M4/3 to Canon EOS adapter > Canon 7D.

Nope. You'd need to gut the mirror box out of the Canon to get close enough to the sensor/film plane to be in focus, otherwise any M4/3 lens you'd use would be in (extreme) macro mode.

True, for a mechanical adapter. The adapter could have optics also. Like FD->EOS adapters. You'd lose some light.

But I don't think any exist. Not really any reason to put M4/3 lenses on EOS.

No, not really any reason :) The image quality would suffer, and a M4/3 lens need an active mount to be able to communicate with the camera, aperture, focus, IS, lens corrections all need electronic communication to work.
