Connect old Apple 17" Studio Display to iMac retina?

I just purchased the iMac retina 5k and would like to connect my old Apple Studio display as a second monitor. Is this possible?

The Apple Stdudio display has an ADC 'Apple Display Connector' :

Is there such thing as an ADC to Thunderbolt adaptor? Googling this just produces a lot of discussions that I can't glean a definite answer from.


For what it's worth, I already have an Apple ADC to DVI adaptor so not sure if this is something I could use in the chain somewhere - Perhaps by using a DVI to thunderbolt adaptor as well?

Any advice would be much appreciated - thank you in advance!

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
