I'm trying to adapt some LINOS cmount lenses which have a diameter approx 40mm, which does not work for any adapters that I have found.
eg. eBay Store ? camplus.shop: Search results for gh1. (http://stores.shop.ebay.com/camplus-shop_Mount-Adpator-Converter_W0QQ_fsubZ142218719QQ_sidZ654376679?_nkw=gh1&submit=Search)


Are there any other cmount adapters out there that can accommodate a larger diameter lens?

The widest I've seen is 37-38mm... If they could machine it to 40mm, I'm sure they would.

I've heard of some people taking dremels to their lenses to get them to fit the C-mount adapters, but I certainly wouldn't have the stomach for it.
