Note that the Zeiss f/0.7 casts a pretty small image circle: the camera it's paired with uses a 21.1 x 11.9mm sensor. (75% as big as a Canon APS-C sensor)
Yes, off the top of my head it seems that an F/1.2 lens made for full frame cameras these days would actually offer superior light gathering ability, though the quality of the final image compared with Kubrick's film stills would be doubtless a matter for discussion.
That said, of course, these lenses are marvels and any photographer would be delighted to give them a try — we do value novelty and and uniqueness in this sort of thing.
Micro Four Thirds (and the non-Micro type) uses a sensor which is 18 mm x 13.5 mm, with a 22.5 mm diagonal. And MFT has no mirror, so the rear element can get as close to the sensor as it likes. Perfect match if you ask me!

21.1 mm x 11.9 mm? So a 24.2 mm diagonal.
