Dear all, staring with the MF lenses M42, unfortunately I had to learn that I have to have an adaptation with a lens to Nikon F for longer distances than 3 m. I tryed now KIPON. Question: Which might be OK: KIPON, HOOD, KOOD, Quenox, HAMA ... .

As far as I know, I havent seen good nikon-m42 adapter with glass element, I have seen some really horrible results with this combination. I'd rather go for different body or just try to find old nikon mf lenses, there are many of really good ones on the market _________________ I use: Flektogon 2.8/20, Flektogon 2.8/35, planar 50mm/1.4, Takumar 1.4/50mm, Takumar 1.9/85, MIR 24H, Mir1v, Industar-50-2, Helios-44-2, Pentacon 2.8/135, cyclop 85 1.5 |

There is no truth to which adapter is the best, because opinions are divided in two:
First group thinks: why waste time because a) adapters make horrible results and b) plenty of Nikkors with as good as/better quality available.
Second group thinks: quality loss with optical adapters is acceptable but there is no consensus on which brand's adapter is best, simply because the same 3rd party manufactured adapter is sold under different brands.
Generally speaking, it is always a good idea to search first - I think 99% of questions are already answered in the archives. There are multiple Nikon and M42 lenses -topics already on the forum. _________________ Vilhelm
