Can someone tell me what mounts these lenses use?

[Petri Teittinen]

These five Russian lenses were going to be used on my EPIC (arriving next week, yay!) but looking at them I have to wonder: are they OCT19... or something else?

Some have odd screwed-on constructions near the rear lens, others don't. There are also differences in the "sleeves" around the rear element. Do you recognize the mounts on these lenses?

They are OCT19 mount.

They are OCT19 mount.

All of them? Even if some look quite different from others? Do you think they'll all fit on the Epic with an OCT19 mount or adapter?

They're OCT-19.

The bolt on section is probably on your 35mm.

Essentially, there are many different types of Lomos - even in the OCT-19 mount. Check your serials and you'll see that they may well be different.

When I was using a GH1/GH2/AF100 combo for testing a project last year (before Stage4) I found that my 35mm wouldn't fit the OCT-19 adapter (due to this metal lock). It's actually a cheaper version of the 35mm (and sometimes it's due to the fact that it was an OCT-18 conversion).

There are lots of Lomo guys on the forum - plus people like Sergey as sellers, so they can help you out. Contact Steve Morton (he makes an OCT-19 adapter for Epic) and see if all OCT-19's fit it.

I have a set of standards and am considering converting to PL - just makes life simpler
