OM lens to t2 thread adapter

[Tiki]

I'd like to attach an Atik16IC to my Olympus Zuiko lenses. To my knowledge, adapters are no longer being made so i'd be pleased to hear any ideas as to how i might make one. I have a couple of scrap OM camera bodies, a rear lens cap and a bunch of t2 threaded stuff.

I had some made by buying some standard Olympus macro spacer tubes and getting a local firm to turn off an end flange of the appropriate length with a T2 thread on the end to replace the male OM bayonet flange. I would do it myself these days now I have a lathe.

Any use ?

I bought an OM to Canon adapter then used a Canon extension tube with a 'T' thread male machined on its rear - this works very well indeed on both my Starlight Xpress 'T' threaded CCD cameras so something similar would work with your Atik.

Could you use something like this:

with something like this:

Or is that the wrong way round!!??!!

Thanks for the ideas.

At the moment though I'm thinking about attaching a bored out rear lens cap to a t threaded filter adaptor. I'll wait and see though as this solution is a bit messy (and contains a fair bit of plastic).

@ pete_gamby. Yep, the wrong way round mate. I'm wanting to attach an astro-cam to an Olympus SLR lens.
