If so it's still a 5.6 regardless of the format. The f number is the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens (or aperture). f numbers are expressed as the denominator, i.e. a 50mm lens with a max diameter of 25mm is an F 2.0. The 4/3 format is 1/2 the area of the 35mm full frame hence the doubling of the magnifying power of telephoto lenses as compared to their use on a full frame ...

So, yes, it is the equivalent of 700mm...
