 Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2009 4:54 am Post subject: M42-to-PK adapter with inner flange for auto-pin lens |
 |
|
I have ordered a batch of M42 lens -to-PK camera adapter with inner flange for auto-pin.
These are now available.
Price is EUR13.5 / USD17 including registered airmail.
Note ... it appears that there is some variation between M42 lenses.
I have tested this adapter with many lenses, and most lenses (including my Carl Zeiss Jena 20/2.8, 35/2.4, 50/1.8, 135/3.5, Pentacon 50/1.8, 135/2.8, Tak 50/1.4, ...) will be able to go from full open to f22 or even smaller aperture.
However, some lenses can only go up to f11 and one only went to f8. Note sure if those lenses were having a faulty/sticky aperture auto-pin.

| Very stupid question: does it work on Nikon F mount? I heard PK mount and F mounts are very similar, and someone also tried to fit a Nikon lens into Pentax body, which surprisingly worked but cannot lock in place. |

Yes, Nikon f mount will work on K10 and k20 bodies. The lenses for the most part will semi-lock into place and will be functional in manual mode.
We have a few threads about this with sample pics floating around in this forum. |

Actually I have a Nikon body and want to mount some M42 glass on it without the use of optical glass. Any link to the threads you are referring to? |

Problems with register distance. No can do without the added element. |

The F and K mounts are very close, but turned 120 in effect. You can mount an F lens by taking off the tiny stop screw at the side of the lens mount and then mount in the K recess. It will only engage by about 1cm or so, but does work. If you really want to use it properly you can modify the K body mount to allow the F lens to go further round and even lock in place.

There are M42 to Nikon adapters without glass.
However, i do not have any experience with these.
I expect that these may only do macro, but i may also depend on the lens focal length.
I am not sure about the price, but i would expect something like usd8 - 10 for these adapters.

Glassless M42-F mount adapters can do up to 17ft or so, I believe. Of course, if you stop down to f16 or 22, I think you can "almost" get infinity due to hyperfocal. (I'm talking about 50mm lenses. You might get infinity with wider angle lenses).
