Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter with Leica 6-Bit M-Coding - M42 Type 2 (42mm x1 Screw Mount) Lens to Leica M Mount Rangefinder Camera Body

I did an experiment with mounting a 24mm Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar lens on a Leica M2. The Fotodiox adapter fits the the Leica properly. At first, the Takumar lens was upside down, so I had to loosen the little set screws and rotate the M42 thread ring by 180 degrees. The instructions from Fotodiox said to loosen the screws, but my unit came with tiny allen screws, possibly 0.5 mm. Regardless, this is an inexpensive way to use your old thread-mount lenses.

It does the job of providing a M42 mount for my Leica CL, but the screw ring was horribly misaligned. After screwing in my Jupiter 9, I noticed that the lens was about 90 degrees off. I was able to "correct" it by taking a very small flat head screw driver and unscrewing the 3 screws holding the silver ring in place then rotating it along with the lens in the correct position, and then rescrewing it back in. Doing so probably voids any warrantee and scratches up the black finish.The other thing I noticed with the adapter was that the focus distances were off as well. On mine it was about 10cm give or take.

It's okay. Quality is typical of the other Fotodiox adapters I have -- you get what you pay for, and their stuff is not badly made. This item is similar to the LR-LM adapter I have. The only issue I have with it is that M42 lenses will end up sideways.I *think* this can be remedied if you remove the tiny retaining screws, twist the mount to the next screwmount, and then fix the screws back in. But I don't have any screwdrivers that would fit such small screws so I haven't been able to test this yet. Hence I am giving it 3 stars for now.

Excellent build quality. Good fit and finish.

Works well. Good quality

First of all, seller has zero customer service, no reply to your email or what-so-ever!The spacer/shim has 36mm inner diameter where the lens has 42mm diameter so the spacer is blocking the lens to screw all way in, it makes it impossible to focus at infinity. Rubbish!

Well Made Item, the quality is far superior than other lesser generic products. Unfortunately, AMAZON charged me with customs duty, which in my opinion a little bit misdirected for my country's policy. Customs duty should be effective above USD 50 CIF purchase.

I can mount my m42 mount lenses on my M3.

Works fine but I don't end up with the focus scale the right way up on the camera so I end up in this bizzare position of having a digital camera hanging off a 300mm Pentacon lens at and angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal

work as expected, which is very well

Ich nutze den Adapter mit dem Techart Pro Adapter - dafür ist er auch gedacht. Fokussierung auf unendlich ist möglich (anders als es hier behauptet wird)Die Verarbeitung ist ordentlich und der Preis ist gerade noch in Ordnung.

Sin problemas.
