Premium Member Raaf Sundquist Posted September 3, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted September 3, 2021 Hi, Can anyone recommend a source for an adapter to allow for mounting of M lenses to Bolex C mount? Bonus question - does anyone have any experience shooting with M lenses on Bolex? Any other considerations? I have a few of these and would like to leverage them if possible. Thank you, Raaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted September 4, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted September 4, 2021 I haven’t seen any adapters, probably because if a lens protrudes past the mount (as some M mount lenses do at infinity) it wouldn’t fit through the C mount opening. Either that, or there just isn’t enough space between the bottom of the M mount and the flange of the C mount - there’s only 10mm difference in flange depth. Usually if it’s possible, someone has made an adapter, but in this case none of the usual manufacturers have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Pinder Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I have a Beaulieu brand but unfortunately doesn't mount to the turret, the center turret screw gets in the way! Wanted to use my 10mm Cinegon on my Standard and DS8 Bolexes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
