D-mount to MFT adapter(WIP) by Vipitis

Last crawled date: 4 years, 5 months ago
V1 does not fit the active MFT - no clearance for the conection pins
V2 has the screw left handed and therefore is unusable
V3 does work for now, but has focus issues.
-now features alignment dot(not red)
SO.... this adapter will adapt D-mount lenses to Micro Four Thirds(MFT/m34).
it is not done yet, but the first iteration that works. I found it really difficult to screw lenses in the front, while it's easy to screw them into the back - I don't yet know why.
I tried to compensate for the flange distance, but it still not focuses... only closeup when zoomed in for the lens I got, so the plane of focus isn't correct yet. I might need more lenses to test this.
D-mount has a giant crop. on my BMPCC(super16 equiv) it has major vignetting and can possible only be a 720p crop at best. might work on a lumix/olympus stills better for higher resolution after crop. should work on GH4/GH5 with video, if you can set it to only use the sensor in the correct place.
D-mount lenses were used for normal-8(sometimes double 8) analog movie cameras. Such as Bolex D-8L.
The model needs to be printed with supports, even supports on the model for the little fins of the MFT mount. I printed the largest surface on the print bed(see images). I advise at least 0.1mm resolution for this print to get the screw working.
