With a good adapter you will have no trouble at all.
Like the Pentax K system. Yashica Bayonet was designed with M42 lens adaptability in mind. The best adapters were from Yashica/Contax but, you can get a good Chinese version that will find infinity and line up the lens so you can see the FL scale and aperture index.
I have yet to find any adapter that lines up the index mark at exactly 12:00. I suppose this is the norm.
Be aware that there are two different types of adapters (as with m42-eos). One with auto aperture pin pushing flange another, without it.
Cheers
Andy

Yes, this is the holy grail of M42 adapters. Very hard to find one.

Which CZJ Sonnar do you have?...I have the P6 mount "zebra" finish 180mm f2.8 "Olympic" Sonnar which came with a matching zebra finish P6-M42 adapter. I did'nt like that adapter though so I bought a cheap generic P6-M42 adapter on ebay which I prefer.
I have'nt seen any P6-C/Y adapters about but I must admit I have'nt been looking for one so there is a chance they might be out there somewhere. |
