Now we're talking  I had a broken Oly Trip 35 hanging around with a dented, but optically perfect d.Zuiko 40mm f2.8 lens built in. Having just picked up my Nex-3 and spare body cap, I put my dremel to good use 
Unfortunately it was a rush job and the Mk I adapter will need to be revised to enable infinity focusing and to allow apertures other than f2.8. However, the sun was out so I shot a few pics at Moors Valley country park whilst on a miniture train.
Verdict...it reminds me of shots taken with my other Trip 35, oddly enough! 
pp: Very slight sharpening, very slight contrast boost. Colours as they came out of the camera in AWB mode.

I have (or better had) a broken Yashica Electro and tried to mount the lens to my NEX. It is possible and not too hard, but I made a silly mistake and destroyed the focus helicoid. 
As soon as I get hold of another broken Electro (with functioning lens!) I will try again - now I know what and what not to do.

There must be loads of crazy lenses we can adapt to these mirrorless cameras I think that last photo is f5.6 by the way, my makeshift "hold the aperture blades device" (card) may have come loose

I love this kind of experiments...
And the results are great!. First shots are less contrasted, the latest ones are superb!.
Only the bokeh is a bit harsh, but the overall result is really good!
Congrats!.
Have you been able of taking some shots on the process?. I got a few spare Trips and maybe....
Regards.

Jes - Once I've got everything working I will detail the process Getting the lens out was relatively straighforward thanks to this link:
http://www.kpraslowicz.com/technique/olympus-trip-35-1200th-modification/
I needed to glue the shutter curtains open (they are inside the lens housing) and I haven't sussed out to make the aperture fully manual yet...hopefully I'll have an update soon
I made a hole in a nex body cap and screwed it in I need to push the lens a bit further towards the sensor though as I can only focus to around 5-6 metres at the moment.

Thanks for the pointer!. One of my trips has the lens loose, I'll try to experiment with it.

I know. I have a working Electro in excellent condition as well and I love that lens. That's why I wanted to adapt it from my broken copy.

I've still got to resolve the aperture issue with the Oly lens though. There is a screw at the top to open and close the blades which sticks out. At the moment I'm thinking of cutting a hole into the adapter, but I really need to take the lens apart and doing something a little more sophisticated the mechanism.
Watch as the price of battered Electros and Trips starts rising now Seriously though, the caps are a couple of pounds each on the bay, and broken cameras can be had for not very much at all

I know its a while since this was posted but I just want to add my 2d worth.
First, well done on a classy conversion. Nice!
I use reversing rings to make adapters. They are just over 1mm thin and made of metal. A ring of the right thickness can be glued to them and the lens attached to the ring. The 49mm filter thread also acts as a key for the glue and as a guide to centralising your adapter.
Body caps are not much cheaper but the rings are better: tighter fit, locks into place and no drilling. I pay about £3 inc post from China or about £5 from GB if I want one in a rush.
I use pound shop epoxy. It sticks like $hit to a blanket
edit: Oh, how did you do on the aperture? |

Hi there.
I am trying to adapt the lens from Olympus Trip 35.
Did you succeed in controlling the aperture?
I have no idea right now how to get rid of that metal rod sticking out from the back, while retaining control of the aperture. |
