Adapters four thirds and micro four thirds lenses?

[PatG]

Hi Everyone

Not sure if this is the right forum but does anyone know if you can get an adapter / advise on the best way to connect an astronomy camera 1 1/4" nosepiece to four thirds and micro four thirds lenses?

Yes, FLO sell a m4/3 adapter that takes standard 42mm threaded (T2), 1+1/4" nose pieces (which they also sell).

EDIT: actually, I think I may have mis-read the question, you want to connect a m4/3 LENS to a nose piece??

yes correct - basically want to connect a 1 1/4" nosepiece of a astronomy camera to either micro 4/3 lens or 4/3 lenses.

This might be what you're looking for then:

Note the requirement for the lens to have a manual-focus capability.

Many thanks for the advice 👍

And that's not manual focus which actually works by fly-by-wire! Are there any 4/3 or MFT lenses that have mechanical focusing?

Yes, although most (all?) are 3rd-party makers and not Olympus/Panasonic.

Ah, good to hear. As a matter of interest, what lens(es) are you thinking of using?
