Does anyone know if it's possible to fit Panasonic lenses on the Canon Rebel cameras (namely a 100D).

All I can find on the net is adapters which allow Canon lenses on M4/3 bodies, not the other way round. I have a Panasonic 100-300 which I love using but which would be great to use on my Canon, and save investing in a longer reach Canon lens.

I'm pretty sure you can't - something to do with the flange to

Image plane (sensor or film plane)

focal plane distance - you can only adapt one way not the other.

You might try the Adapted Lens forum for a response from someone with more knowledge in this area.

I stand corrected - had read the following - and as we are talking about digital cameras had assumed they were the same - but maybe not:

"The focal plane in a camera is the flat surface onto which the light is focused after it has passed through the photographic lens. In digital cameras the focal plane is the same as the surface of the digital image sensor. Hence the alternative name of sensor plane."

You were correct, and I was wrong.
