[Lens] Antique lens help

Hi guys,

I got this lens - »www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wik···cm_1:2.8 - from my father's estate.

According to that page, this lens has a screw mount. I'd like to try to use it with my GH2 (micro 4/3) but I'm not sure exactly what kind of adapter I'd need. Any ideas?

just a wild guess:

Have a look here:

»www.dpreview.com/news/2009/5/21/···adaptors

or the compatibility list: »panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/d···rma.html

Its for the DMC-GH1.

I don't know about the GH-2 though..

I hope this is the right direction

Regards,

quod erat demonstrandum

The GH2 is just the younger brother of the GH1 - all lenses are interchangeable.

The compatability list, and holding the lens, show why my father didn't buy that adapter - it could have damaged the sensor since the adapter is so thin.

Thanks

This doesn't appear to be a screwmount aka M42 lens. It is on the borderline year of manufacture when they switched from Screwmount to Bayonet. Yours appears to be a Bayonet however.

If it can be adapted you can find the adapter here:
