Can AF100 be used with lenses from 1957 Canon VT deluxe camera?

Hi, I just picked up the aforementioned Canon VT and am wondering if the set of primes I got with it would work (be worthwhile using) with the AF100, assuming I had the proper adapter.

canon 35mm 1.8
canon 50mm 1.8
steinheil munchen culminar 85mm 2.8
schneider-kreuznach tele-xenar 135mm 3.5

Many thanks for any comments/suggestions!
 
I am not sure how they would work specifically, but the 35mm and 50mm f1,8 will be nice with it (I find a 35mm to be a great normal lens on the AF100), and 85 and 135 are great for portraits. You should test them and see how you like their performance in regards to breathing and sharpness, but they will cover the sensor.

A quick online searched listed it as having a M39 mount, which their is a micro4/3 adaptor for, so they would probably work well with the camera. I would defiantly try them out.

on edit: Also just read that some early range finders while having a 39mm mount, it was threaded a little diffrently. I would defiantly google your lenses and then confirm what mount they have.

Also, with screw mount lenses, I would def. recommend getting an adapter for each lens and leaving them on the lens when shooting. Much quicker to change lenses with the m4/3 mount than with the screw mount.
