M43 to C-Mount for Digital Bolex (off-label?)

[debinatx]

Hey there. Any D16 users find an M43 to C-Mount for the Digital Bolex that is not the $350 version by the company? I have a Fotodiox Nikon to C that is exceptional and looking for something similar so I can use my M43 Voigts on the Bolex.
Thanks!

Keep in mind that the Digital Bolex MFT Mount is not an adapter but an entire MFT mount for the D16.

Physically an M43 to C adapter would not work because the C-mount throat diameter is too small to fit M43 lens barrels. DSLR lenses have much longer back focus distance, so sit in front of the C-mount throat. The Bolex M43 mount also provides back focus adjustment if needed, but it comes from the factory already adjusted for native M43 lenses.

Aha! Now it makes sense. Thanks Razz16!

At least they give the ability to adjust backfocus.
