Adaptor tubes for xz-1 ?

There are already cameras in the Olympus line-up - past and present, that accept extension lenses via adaptor tubes that screw into a thread in the lens mount as shown in the photo illustration.

The question then becomes, is the thread the same as any of a variety of existing Olympus cameras.

With a 4x zoom lens the adaptor tube does not have to be very deep. Suppoise the thread had the same diameter as the old C-7** series, then all that needs to happens is for the CLA-4 adaptor tube to be resurrected.
