[The above title photo shows the] Hexanon 40mm lens shot with my other Hexanon 40mm lens.You won't get autofocus and you always have to shoot in aperture priority mode (or manual).
But no adapter is necessary and the lenses are cheap.
[IBS editor's note: While there are AR to MFT and FF to MFT adapters,
there's no AR to FT adapter because the 1.83 mm difference in
flange focal distance (FFD) is too small
and there's not enough room for any adapter.]
