  • Need Peleng 8mm adapter to 4/3

    Hi. My friend have this Peleng 8mm wich want to sell. We tryed via my T-mouunt to M42 and then with M42 adapter to 4/3 and this not works with my Olympus E510. Need to find either M42 or better, directly T-mount to 4/3 which will work 100% on my E510. Any suggestion please.
    He use directly purchased adapter with his Peleng to his EOS mount, and it perfectly works.

    I bought mine, along with the peleng from opticsbel on e-bay - they don't seem to be listing it at the moment.

        He answered, and he said this one ( http://tinyurl.com/6epmax ) should work 100%. But it's little bit pricey, as adapters goes around 10$. Someone to confirm this one really works.

          Jucca, Personally I found no problems with using the Peleng via 2 adaptors, but if you do an ebay worldwide search on "t mount 4/3" it should offer a fair selection to choose from. Not sure how long the following link will last.

          http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/_W0QQ_dmptZUKQ5fPhotographyQ5fCameraLensesQ5fLensQ 5fcapsQ5fhoodsQ5fadaptorsQ5fET?_nkw=t+mount+4%2F3& _sacat=0&_fromfsb=&_trksid=m270.l1313&_odkw=t+moun t+four+thirds&_osacat=0

          The only problem I've had is keeping the lans cap over that rather exposed front element. A little strap made of double sided velcro seems to do the job now.
          I also picked up a wide angle lens hood (for a 72mm thread from what I remember) and opened out the inside of it on a lathe to be a push fit on the lens. I then cut down the 4 petals to avoid vignetting. It does help prevent flare and offers a little protection to the front element.

              Got the Tmount yesterday from Ebay, but it will not fit to Peleng, it's much wider then Peleng's acceptance

                    It looks sharp with little sign of fringing
