I've often idly wondered about the feasibility of getting/adapting focussing mounts for the G lenses so they could be used on a proper RF camera. (Couldn't use the Biogons on an SLR because the back focus is so short.) I can't really see it being viable from a cost point of view though. I guess I'll still be buying up used G2 bodies at some point.


BTW, try to be a bit less long-winded with your links, please. ;-)

It's clearly a non-starter, but interesting to see what ingenuity some people can deploy.

There might be a small market for using G lenses on Leicas, reincarnated Zeiss, and Voightlander. Updating this old thread may be useful if we can get over the language problem. We Brits are not very good at far eastern languages.
