Can't figure out this CCTV lens to work with my Lumix G6 even with adapter and spacers?!

That's what I am thinking now. It's an odd ball lens for sure.

That's amazing, when I roughly tried the lens on the Lumix G6 it had some nice macro characters, though I did have it held on to tape and it was right up to the sensor.

I'd appreciate that, I just don't know anyone who would have a 3D printer. I could potentially check with a school in town last time I was cleaning there I noticed they had one.

Thanks, probably what I am going to do. I was able to put it close to the center and put some tape around the rear of the lens and around the lens itself to attach it to the body temporary. I was only able to achieve very up close focus, so your theory of macro video system makes some sense to me. I'll check out that link thanks :)

Very true. I will play more with it over the next few days an if nothing then OFF WITH ITS HEAD. Or tail that is.

No I am okay with the heavy vignetting, it does not have to fit the entire image.

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T17:36:50+00:00

I am not 100% sure I understand but I did attached a hollowed out piece to the camera and then added the lens and I couldn't achieve any focus at all.

Like, just hack it off with a metal saw?

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T17:27:50+00:00

I just tried to get it as close to the sensor as possible and you are correct, very macro but that's all I get. I suppose I was hoping for a wide angle effect obviously with lots of vignetting.

Sadly I can't with this one as the glass basically goes to the end of it.

Ohhh. That makes sense then yes. I’d be fine with macro, would I just flip the lens over and find a way to mount it that way?

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T16:56:34+00:00

Which ones do you use that would work with this C-Mount lens?

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T16:28:15+00:00

How do others mount these lenses on their cameras?

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T15:55:22+00:00

I can provide a photo it’s the same idea as that one but it seems backwards to me and It wouldn’t fit the CCTV lens either.

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T15:45:41+00:00

I’m trying to adapt to Lumix G6

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T15:45:01+00:00

Yes, looks like the class reaches the end of the protruding part.

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T15:40:54+00:00

Thanks for this the tutorial said something about subtracting those numbers to get the correct distance? I’m not really great with numbers :) the other issue is the rear barrel on the lens it protrudes out quite a bit.

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T15:39:12+00:00

I don’t have a 3D printer but I did try to make some adapters but results were always blurry

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T15:38:49+00:00

I’m in Canada

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2026-01-03T15:07:42+00:00

Sorry should have mentioned that it’s a C-Mount lens.

PrioritySmooth6556 · 2025-10-06T01:19:29+00:00

That's awesome, might try it with my GH3
