Just wanted to give an update on a new project.

I received a few pm from members to develop some M42 adapters will an extra inner flange / ring for lenses with autopin.

I currently have the following adapters almost ready:


1. M42 to FourThirds with inner flange




2. M42 to Sigma with inner flange




3. M42 to Sony with inner flange



Are there anyone who want to double confirm the fitment of the M42 to Sony with flange adapter? Please pm me. Only postage need to be paid.

Not too sure how lenses with flange looks like. Is it the lense with M/F siwtches? Do you have a photo of those type of lens?

The "flange" is raised metal on top of the flat mount, there to keep the aperture pin pressed in, and therefore make auto only lenses functional.

Can the adaptor incorporate a linkage to operate the pin and make the Auto M42 lens Auto?

Never heard of such thing with any tyoe of adapters. Lens can be rotated by (i) in body motor (ii) in lens motor (iii) hand. The best an adaptor can do is give you a focus confirmation sign.

I mean to operate the Aperture, not the AF.

I guess it depends on what camera/system you are using. I am not familiar with Sigma or 4/3 so I can't comment on those. If you are using Minolta/Sony, you will get auto aperture if you turn to "A" priority.

You mean my Sony A200 can operate the aperture if switched to A priority?

By turning to A priority, you set your aperture through your manual lens but your camera will automatically set the corresponding speed for you. This mean the camera can meter in A priority mode.

I believe you meant the linkage that can be found in old M42 camera body. I don't think it can be done in the adapter.

Looking for an adapter for M42 lens to allow mounting on Olympus 4/3 camera. I want one that has an inner flange that presses the diaphragm pin on the M42 lens. One was pictured on MFLenses in 2008 from hk300, but it appears that user is gone from MFLenses. Anyone know where to get one of these today? Thanks!
