mantona T2 Adapter MFT Mount — manual focus adapter for Olympus Pen E-PL1/PL3/PL7 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G70/GX80

The mantona T2 Adapter MFT Mount is a manual-focus adapter that allows T2-threaded lenses to be attached to Micro Four Thirds cameras. It is designed for compatibility with specific mirrorless bodies including Olympus Pen models E-PL1, E-PL3 and E-PL7, as well as Panasonic Lumix models DMC-G70 and DMC-GX80. By providing a secure mechanical connection between legacy or specialist T2 optics and MFT camera mounts, the adapter enables the use of a wide range of manual lenses for both stills and video work.

Advantages

The adapter provides a robust metal connection with precise mounting alignment, preserving the correct flange focal distance for accurate manual focusing. It supports direct mechanical control of focus and aperture on compatible T2 lenses, without electronic communication, which makes it simple and reliable for vintage and cine glass. The slim profile minimizes added extension, maintaining a compact setup suitable for handheld shooting and tripod use.

Suitable for

• Photographers who want to use T2-threaded lenses on Micro Four Thirds bodies
• Videographers employing cine lenses with manual aperture and focus control
• Users adapting vintage or specialty optics for creative effects and shallow depth-of-field work
• Repair shops or rental services offering flexible lens combinations for MFT systems

Key specifications

• Mount type: T2 thread to Micro Four Thirds mount
• Material: metal construction for durability and stable attachment
• Compatibility: designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras including Olympus Pen E-PL series and Panasonic Lumix G series models
• Functionality: manual focus and manual aperture control only; no electronic contacts
• Profile: low-extension design to preserve flange focal distance and allow infinity focus when correctly mounted

How to use

Attach the adapter to the rear of a T2-threaded lens by screwing it onto the lens’ T2 mount until secure. Align the adapter’s Micro Four Thirds bayonet with the camera body mount and rotate until it locks in place. Use the camera in manual focus or focus-peaking modes and set exposure manually or with camera metering, as electronic communication between lens and body is not available. For accurate focusing, use live view magnification or focus-peaking if supported by the camera.

Usage recommendations

When working with manual optics, support the lens adequately to avoid strain on the camera mount and always confirm infinity focus by testing at a distant subject. Use manual exposure or an external light meter for consistent results, and keep the adapter threads clean to ensure reliable attachment.
