Hello.
I bought a nice Kodak Anastigmat 50mm f1.6 in S-mount that i mounted on a E-P1 using a s-mount to C-mount and an Metabones C-mount to micro 4/3 adapters.
Here are the first sample picures, @f1.6
I've got one problem : i can only focus from 0.6 feet to 5 feet. Any clue ?

the focusing issue is very strange. i have several s mount kodak lenses mounted the way you do to my ep2 and can focus each to infinity. the only thing i can think of is the c mount adapter maybe needs to be shaved a little. maybe try another cheaper one to see if it works. i know with my zeiss tevidon c mount i had to do this to achieve infinity focus.
