Olympus E-P1 with Voigtlander M mount lenses

The top one is a 50mm f1.1 lens (100mm in 35mm equivalent). Imagine that! The middle one is a lens I own (35mm f1.2) except mine is in chrome and needs to be fixed. The bottom one is the 35mm f1.4 NOKTON classic. I own the 40mm version and mine has an “S.C.” stamped on the outside of it, but pretty much looks like that.

All would require an adapter available from Cameraquest in L.A..
