I recently purchased a Rollei Planar 50mm f1.8 (Made in Singapore) and I want to use it on my Olympus E-3.

I understand that this lens has QB mount but I cannot find a QBM->4/3 adapter.

So i am interested in converting the mount on something like OM, M42 or Contax/Yashica mount that I already have adapters.

Any ideas?

Calvin83 has some conv. kits for eos, maybe for 4/3 as well. Ask him.

Register distance shouldn't be a problem here.
Perhaps you can use an QBM-EOS-adapter and an EOS-4/3-adapter.

There is QBM to 4/3 adaptors avaliable in the market. One of them is the Russian XXX - 4/3 adapter:

You may also find some cheaper Made in China adaptor avaliable in the market. No matter which adaptor is used, you have to remove the bayonet ring and push the aperture pin before you install the adaptor.

Yes. The problem is the small size of the 4/3 mount.

I think this thread belongs to the adaptor section. Wink
