Hi Hakkalo. Any hints on where to find d mount adapters for my micro four thirds camera? I have a gh2, and 2 broadcast d mount lenses (canon). I would like to try them out!
Thanks,
Jarrett Towe
PS your images are fantastic!

There is no D mount to M 4/3 adapter in the market simply you can't use D mount lens on M 4/3 cameras. But some D mount lenses if the focal length is over 38mm might cover the sensor of M4/3 and can be converted to use.:D
BTW Now we can use D mount lenses with Pentax Q:thumbup:

G.B.-Bell & Howell 20mm F1.9 Super Comat



Hi. I just bought this lens and find that it won't mount on my e-p2 with a c-mount adapter. Here is a photo of the lens mount. Is yours same? If so how are you mounting it.

Thanks.

Ha!:mad: I did the same mistake as well. This lens is made for Bell & Howell 627 Filmo 16mm movie camera. It can not use on M4/3 cameras cos it is not c mount. I suggest you buy 1" F1.9 Super Comat in C mount.:)

Thanks mate! It just seemed like a normal c mount but not to be! Glad I didn't pay over the odds for it.

Anyway, I'll see if I can shorten the bottom of that aperture stick and then glue it to an adapter to use it just as a macro?
