That's not possible. You cant adapt ur MTF lens to F mount (Nikon). What you can do is adapt F mount lenses to your panasonic body.

Dun think any makers will want to make such an adapter.

Micro43 lens has a shorter flange focusing distance, you cannot cross adapt onto dslr unless the manufacturer makes an optical adapter. And that is provided the lens does not have a very protruding rear recess. And with electronics now controlling focusing etc, end up needing a complicated electronic adapter. And the fact that the image circle of an M43 lens is smaller and might not cover the bigger D3100 sensor..

Nikon DSLR are not really adaptable.
You will have more choices with Sony.
