Can this Leica lens be adapted on a M body?

From time to time I saw "Dygon" mount Leica lenses in eBay like this one:

They are all in very low price though the quality is very good.

Just wonder it can be adapted on a M body or other smaller (M4/3 ?) cameras?

Leicina were 8mm or super 8 moovie cameras!
My guess is that you can't
Super 8 is 5,79x4,01 mm
M4/3 is 17,3x13

That’s right. It’s for Super 8. Negligible coverage of 135 format negative. Can use M Mount Leica and other camera lenses on the Leicina movie camera but not vice versa.

How about adapt it to a M4/3 camera? Possible?

Errrm, still *no*.

You need that sort of camera for the Dygon lens:

Pistach mentioned the coverage above. Using only a small portion of the already small m4/3 sensor would have pretty low resolution. Might be interesting for one of the tiny sensor interchangeable lens cameras like Nikon V and Pentax MX (?), if adapters exist.

Even that won't work —— the Dygon lens in question is not a complete lens, but a mere front attachment: it transforms the built in 15mm standard lens into a 9mm 🙂
