This 8mm projector lens have a very very short flange distance - about 10-12mm! I wrapped the rear end of the lens (about 40mm diameter) with plastic tape. Then insert it fully into a M42 to M4/3 adapter. Focusing is by manual adjustment - pushing in or pulling out the lens from the adapter! Very difficult but I enjoy the results!

I have one of these, it is sharp and has unusually good coatings for a projector lens.

Thanks for including the picture of the adaptation, it's a fun method, and I'm sure it pushes you to deliberative photography--it's not for snapshots. Truly excellent colors. Was this with post-processing, or without? The depth of field is very thin, as expected. The bokeh is pretty good, but a bit odd in the construction worker shot and the one with the people sitting on a bench.
Cheers!

Just adjusted brightness level. The odd looking two may be because of the poor focusing I made!  |
