recently got a bunch of ar lenses and am awaiting a konica tc-x to try them out on film. they work great on m4/3, but i have seen no other adapters for them to be used on other cams. i thought that perhaps they could be used on four thirds cams, or maybe even canon fl film cams...anyone know of any other film or digital cams we can use these great (and inexpensive!) lenses on?

They work on Sony NEX ,Samsung NX and m4/3 cameras with adaptors and without butchering the lens .

Given the relatively short register distance (40.7mm), any chances are pretty slim I believe... As yinyangbt said above, M4/3 (19.25mm) & Sony NEX (18mm), plus Samsung NX as well (25.5mm).
4/3rds is theoretically feasible (38.67mm) but no adapter exists, however a mount conversion is a workable option.

I've read that some have adapted a few lenses to Olympus digital cameras, but can't think of any other film cameras that can use them.
