m37 > m42 adapter

[Séamuis]

I know Asahi Optical did in fact make these early into the m42 transition. I also know they are extremely rare. I also know that Spotmatic has one but does anyone else have one that would be willing to sell it or know how I might go about acquiring one? I know its a bit of a long shot bt I figured this might be the best place to ask. I would love to be able to use these m37 lenses on my Pentax digital and film bodies. so if anyone has any helpful info I would be very much in your debt.

I'm sure that these people would make one for you

http://www.srb-griturn.com/index.asp

Ask them for a quote. If they've already made one for someone else they might have made a couple of spares and they might have one in stock !

I have some M37 to M42 conversion rings.
It will add a little thickness but will fit most M42 to xx adapters nicely.

Hi,

I'm also interested in the answer to that last question; I've recently come across a possible source of Asahiflex lenses, and it would be very useful to know whether this adapter would preserve infinity focus.

Thanks!

Jon

i am finished my asahiflex adapter.

I will post some pics in a few hours.

Please note that Alex used my original Asahiflex to M42 adapter to have copies machined. The original Asahiflex adapter also has some thickness (an outer flange) so it never went to infinity. You can modify Alex' copies though and file off the flange and then fix it with glue in another M42 to xx adapter. This should make most people happy

Waiting for pics too, because of my recently won Asahi Kogaku Takumar 50/3.5. A comparison with other 50mm and the industar 50/3.5 would be very interesting As I would need ohter accessories, I'll wait few days
