GH2 'Brand New' LOMO lenses? What mount?

[analog_addict]

Anyone else seen these 'brand new' LOMO lenses? According to the serial numbers they were made in 1992.

Anyone know the optical quality of these and what the mount is at the back?

This looks like the optical block.

You need to add housing, focus and aperture - plus a lens mount.

You are right, I emailed them. Thought it was too good to be true.

Man, I got so excited for a moment before I saw it's just the optical block!

The guy I spoke to said that these can be used if you have older LOMO lenses that you want to replace the glass on. How easy this is, I'm not sure.

For sure you could send this optical block, and an older lens to Bernie at S16 and have him make a Frankenlens for you. However that alone will probably cost $200-300 for the time he would have to put into it. A good solution, but at a price (depending on what the optical block goes for).
