Pentacon Prakticar (Praktica B-mount) lenses on 4/3 Oly E410

Hello everyone,

I would like to discuss the possibilities of mounting Prakticar lenses on Four Third cameras especially the Olympus E-410.

I' ve spent some time to search the web for solutions to this problem or for people who managed to do, but haven't found any yet.

What I heard is that the Pentax K PK-mount probably also fits PB-mount but noone could tell exactly and I've heard that some guy managed to build an adapter PB-mount to EOS (that, by the way, also fits Pentax K).

I am currently considering to get me a ??? > 4/3 adapter, change the register that it fits to PB-mount and then screwing on the bayonet of a broken Praktica. If all the information that I recently read are true and I am able to bridge the different register (by modifying the thickness of the adapter), then maybe this could work.

Does anyone know if this could work or has some helpful suggestions for me?? I would be happy about any information that I can get.

Thanks in advance,

Hansaplast

Welcome Hansaplast!

I never seen also any PB adapter you need to make home made conversion or spend a good sum for professional to make it. In Italy I know an expert who able to make right adapter, can be costly. If still interest pls let me know.

Hi Attila, I'm looking for an adaptor to use my praktica pb mount lens on e330.
I sent an email that list on the webpage 3 days ago, still no reply.
How much the complete package will cost plus shipping cost to New Zealand in US dollar?
Can I pay buy credit card? If I can't, what else payment method I can use?
Thanks a lot.

Scotty,

You can find PB->EF adapter at eBay, there are two kinds now on the market.
Our member HK300 may have a stock for his own PB->EF adapter,
you can enquiry him.

I have found the adapters on ebay - before i was using the wrong keywords to look for - and have also requested HK 300 for a quote.

Thank You Very Happy
