I'm not the first person to adapt a Color-Skopar from a Voigtländer Vito camera. Mine is from a Vito B (f3.5). This is my adaptation on my E-M5. I think it looks quite cool. The lens is really sharp even wide open as well. I wish it focused closer though. Because I am using the original focusing helicoid I wasn't able to push the focus closer than about 75cm (object to image). The helicoid can give more travel but the aperture control pin gets in the way.

Nice, neat conversion. I have a broken Vito B (used as a donor camera to repair another). Maybe I could.

perhaps not. I have so many lens conversions. I think I have more of them than proper primes

Thanks. When I do a conversion like this, it's more because of the challenge of doing it rather than because I need another lens. That Skopar really is a sharp lens though, so there is no reason why I shouldn't use it more.

Thanks. I've put some samples in the m4/3 section.
