I've been messing around with an old projector lens from a Kodak slide projector. I printed a barrel that slips over the lens that has m42 threading on the end and attached an m42 to E-mount helicoid to make focusing easier. I can get a pretty clean focus at infinity and the field of focus is surprisingly wide
Hell yeah friend
I printed a barrel to go over this one as well so it would fit in a m42 helicoid so I could focus, unfortunately though infinity on this lens is at 16mm and the only way I can currently get that is literally holding the lens in the open mount hole.
This is what mine currently looks like
Edit: 3D printing is an amazing supplement to any hobby that may end up with some crafting or having to order parts.
Now to see if I can 3D print a helicoid or mount for my camera
With the Lumix you should be able to hit infinity focus. The flange distance is only 20mm
The problem is mostly finding an adapter that lets me slide them lens close enough to the sensor
The lens body is just to wide to fit through the adapter I had for my other m42 lens
But I think I found one that will work it'll just take a few days to arrive
