rjsplace Posted August 14, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 14, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The digilux 2 is a terrific $1000 lens that i believe has beter build then the D3 14-50 When eventually theD2 camera is no longer worth repairing What to do? Is there a shop that can set this lens up for 4/3rds or other mount? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Hi rjsplace, Take a look here salvaged a Digilux 2 Lens. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ho_co Posted August 14, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2009 rj-- The Digilux 2 is indeed a superb piece of equipment. But since it's so well integrated--lens performance, handling, sensor size and performance--I don't think it's possible to mount it to any other body. Sorry.

MJLogan Posted August 15, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 15, 2009 The lens is designed for the image circle of the Digilux 2's 2/3" sensor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krabat Posted August 15, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 15, 2009 I wonder if there would be any freak taking a screw driver and a soldering iron and mount a larger sensor behind the lens. And then one can use the part of the image where the image quality is acceptable. Come on guys, who will be the first trying it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted August 16, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 16, 2009 unlikely it would have a limited image circle, not conducive to larger sensors in its region since D2 is 2/3" sensor, the closest larger sensor is 4/3rds at twice the diagonal length would seem unlikely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koray Posted August 17, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 17, 2009 Even if you have a more modern but similarly sized sensor, you have to (1) find a way to fix it on the sensor mount, (2) adapt a translation circuitry for the AF and aperture step motors and sensors, and aperture/focus ring variable resistors, (3) fit all these in a compact package (if you don't mind size, what you ask for is actually doable today with certain limitations). You will probably be able to do that when there are nano-computers in putty form factor. Just a dab of it will make all your dreams come true. :-) K.
