No idea, but I've been trying C-mount lenses on my EVILs and the results are disappointing (for me), the ones I got have a brutal vignetting, leaving just the picture in a circle in the center of the frame.
This small lenses might well produce the same result.
On the other hand, I've never seen M32 adapters available...
The only way: to try.

Regards.
Jes.

I have 25mm c-mount lens, it has strong vignete on NEX. I think 35mm is the limit of c mount lens to eliminate vignete. But this isn't c-mount right?
If it's on local and cheap I will grab it Very Happy, Russia/Ukraine take at least a month shipment to my place. I'll forget it that time LOL

Unfortunately you will not be able to mount it without an adapter
the 50mm lens may have the coverage - other 2 are too wide.

You will have to make an adapter yourself? Possibly glue to a c mount adapter?

Vignetting on the wider lenses may be bad for still shots, but on a Panny, then cine would be OK. Panasonic=panny

I am surprised no one figured a solution out by now.

Here's a newly made adapter from RafCamera that will allow you to mount Kiev-16U M32 lenses on any MFT camera.

The vignetting is strong as I would have expected from a lens designed to cover a 16mm film frame. Hardly worth it. Nice looking lenses though.

Oh, sorry guys, I didn't know you were't aware of the BM Pocket Camera and Digital Bolex, both with (s)16mm sized sensor, where these lenses can prove very useful.

As always with wide angle lenses, the image circle may not cover the whole sensor, so you'd get a bit of vignette from the 12/2 (MIR-11M), but the 20/2 (VEGA7-1) and the 50/2 (TAIR-41M) should be alright.

So, yes, avoid them and leave them all to me.. Wink
