This is product unique? I wonder if it will work also for Mamiya SX lenses?

Click here to see on Ebay

This is common M42-EOS adapter with flange that depresses diaphragm pin. For M42 lenses without auto/man diaphragm switch.

I have one with better build quality sitting in my drawer for a long time. Sadly, it does not work with Mamiya SX lenses.

I think it is not feasible to make one as the M42 to MA adapter is already very thin(less than 1mm).

Some eBay seller were selling it last year or so. I bought few but unfortunately, it doesn't allow reach to infinity.

Thanks guys, guess it's a file and superglue.

Cool

The file is enough.
I saw someone that had his (sony/m42) adapter machined to fit fujinons, and it worked, but it's far Beyond my capabilities.
For mamiya sx's I guess it's impossible, sadly.

Yes. After checked my adapter, I found there is enough room to make such adapter!

The M42 adapter for Mamiya sx lens is possible for adapter made for mirror-less cams.

Hi Aanything,

Ah meant the superglue tae hold down the diaphragm pin. Seen Fujicas working no problem with the metal tab filed and the pin glued down. Ah tried the plastic cotton bud method on the pin but can't get the diaphragm tae adjust. Didn't want tae physically alter them (Fuji f1.8/55mm+2.8/35mm) as ah may sell them in the future.

Apologies for taking the thread off-topic.

Cool
