Hi, got that lens Tokyo Koki Tele-Tokina 135mm 2.8 , but now have a problem that expected screw to be M42 but it's bigger, so criscrossed the web and cleared out that it must be 47 mm thread , but cannot manage to find any adapter to soething like M42 or Nikon F or watewer what can allow me to then mount this lens to M43 adapter.

maybe somebody have seen something what I need to search for , and is there any other more popupar abbrevation of those 47 mm thread what I need to search for , and is that worth at all to hassle ? is this lens any good ?

sorry for meny questions , and thanks

Welcome!

Don't expect to much from a 'noname' Japanese brand. Can you show us a picture from mount I believe your lens has missing part , M47 mount is quiet unbelievable. I think it has interchangeable mount just mount part is missing , perhaps some of out member able to identify it.

I've got such an adapter from 46.38mm, 1.0mm pitch to Minolta SR mount (MD if you must). Searching the web, I come across a mention of Hanimex H mount, which appears to be the mount we're looking at.

I doubt whether the lens you've got is worth a great expense or hassle to get working properly, but I'd like to be proven wrong on this point.

Its probably this one -

The 47mm mount is just like a T-mount except that the lens-mount thread is 47mm instead of 44mm.
This is only found on Tokina-made presets of a certain vintage, early 1960's I think.

The lens isn't bad at all, one of the better Japanese presets. It doesn't flare much and is reasonably sharp.
On the other hand it isn't worth much either, and there are plenty that are just as good that you can pick up any day for $ 10.

Stupid me -

T-thread = 42mm, not 44mm

Thanks all for help , looks like the lens will sit in shelf for some time as I probably found missing part there

but as its to Minolta and I have only Nikon and m42 to m4/3 seems like it`s not worth to invest in 2 adapters , will wait , maybe some time I will meet some cheap 47mm to m42 adapter

Is this the 49.2mm/1-15/16" Tokyo Koki mount? A precursor to the T-mount, used by Soligor, Sun, Tokyo Koki, Vemar, and other lens manufacturers. Adapters have been seen for Minolta MD, M42, and Nikon cameras.
