F0.95 -- More samples

I was able to convert the c-mount JML 50mm f0.95 lens into a native Micro 4/3 mount through the use of an adapter. This lens is too large to fit the c-mount to m4/3 adapter and thus wouldn't focus to infinity. Since the mount on the JML lens is removable, I removed the c-mount, and sanded down the c-mount to m4/3 adapter and glued the adapter to the JML lens. It could now focus slightly past infinity, but unfortunately, not a 100% success.

The sanding was done using a hand file, and I am sure I could not achieve good flatness. The glue could also play a role in the flatness of the adapter to lens. So, I have one side of the picture very sharp, and the other side is soft, due to an uneven focus plane because the lens is not mounted 100% flat. It's usable, but bothers me. I will have to look for a better way to make this focus to infinity without destroying the original mount.
