the lens is originally d-mount but been converted to c-mount.

what you need is
1. Lens
2. C mount to CS mount adapter
3. hand saw
4. fine sand paper
5. Epoxy glue
6. micro screw drivers

this is how to convert the lens from D-mount to C-mount

1. loose 3 small screws

2. Remove the optic part from Focus part

3. remove the focus ring

4. Cut this part off , approx 5mm

5. Use Epoxy to glue the base part with C-mount adapter

6. put every thing back , lock the 3 screws and finish

Hi, i own since a little time this wonderfull pair of Zeica lenses and i wonder about an adapter D-mount to C-mount but stay in hope to find any, have you any idea or advice ?
The wide angle is a fixed focus.

great great job! it looks very ugly/ weird on the epl1..however the pictures you got out of it are simply stunning, the colours are deep, and in your case the know-how-to-take- a- picture comes naturally, any pp by any chance? i have heard a lot from those kern-paillards lenses colour rendition..what i cant tell yet is the "how-to-the-bullshit-from-the-truth"
