Hi
I bought an Akai VC-110 video recorder made in 1972 for £2 at an auction.
I bought it so that I could try and use the lens on my M4/3 camera.
However now I don't know what to do.
I don't even know what mount it is or even if it is possible.
I've managed to remove the lens from the camera with what I think includes the mounting collar as I took it off the camera from the inside of the camera. This collar also includes the viewing mirror prism. The zoom lever/stick has snapped off, I don't know if this is required to come out to help disassembly as part of it is still in the thread. Do I somehow need to get the mirror prism out, it looks like it's been locked in place with some green glue.
I know that if possible I'll have to use this lens wide open as the aperture 1.8 or 5.6 is built into the camera. It's just for fun.
I've attached some photos, please could anybody give me some advice as to what to do next or if I'm wasting my time.
Thanks.
