Re: German Four-Thirds Forum - It seems "Ich bin nicht angemeldet" and therefore "habe keine Rechte diese Seite zu betreten", so as to not have to join just for this; any chance of posting the information here for us?
Thanks.
Ach so, vielen Dank.I took the bayonet from 110 body
Yes, Lupo - Thanks for showing us the way.Ach so, vielen Dank.
Excellent idea, now off to buy a Pentax 110!
Great illustration and information Lupo.
I took the bayonet from 110 body
(sorry old lady)
test with c-m4/3 adapters, lens mount and tape
(from left: 18, 24, 50, 70 and 20-40)
ready (without finish, but it works)
I will not show mine, because I was much crueler, and I still haven't finished. When I got tired of the jammed screws I used a chisel.What a cruel kill...
It was not cruel. The old lady has mild smiled!What a cruel kill...
Hmm, I've just bought a couple of dead 110's for spares that were available on EBay thinking of Lupo's idea and will try to mate the lens mount to a spare LTM/m43 adapter I have from Jinfinance that didn't quite make it to infinity focus and he kindly sent me a corrected one and let me keep this one.I was trying to use parts I had lying around, ...
I've removed the flange assembly - had to grind off the heads of the screws. I plan on putting onto a T to m4/3 mount. Any clues on the distances involved? What is the best way to get it set up for infinity focusing?Cool, I just built one of those a couple of days ago. I didn't destroy my 110 though, I just removed the mounting flange from it and built up enough spacers into a jinfinance c mount adapter to hit close to infinity focus. I was trying to use parts I had lying around, so I used a couple of ring plates from an old hard drive and a circle I cut from some expanded PVC sheets that I had. I still need to adjust for infinity, but it's getting pretty close. I'll take some pics tomorrow.
Thanks simplebot, this will save me a bit of time.Here is the adapter I built. I'll try and do some measurements on the thickness. I've gotten my infinity focus pretty close, but my adapter isn't very stiff, and there is a bit of "squish" to it. Once I get to tapping holes and assembling it with screws it'll be more solid.
. . . . . . .The 25mm lens is also a bit too small to use well. Perhaps the other lenses would work a better.
Well, so far I'm measuring about 7.6mm from the front of the pentax flange to the back face of the c mount adapter that sits flush against the micro 4/3 flange. This gets pretty close to infinity.Thanks simplebot, this will save me a bit of time.

The measure with my adapter. (My calipers are very simple)...Is the 10mm extension exactly right for the distance? Is infinity focus okay?...
Steve, No. As the picture shows, the front end was ground down a bit (trial and error) which is easy to do with the aluminum tube.Is the 10mm extension exactly right for the distance?
