The adapter is fine on the lens... it is definitely an "A" adapter for the Russian "A" series... one of them just does not like my Nikon bodies. My best guess is manufacturing variance... I am thinking that the flanges are too thick... and are catching on the body. It looks to me like the problem one has file marks like maybe someone solved the problem once before for their camera.... maybe if I shave off a hair more it will work fine.
Like I mentioned, I got three seemingly identical adapters and the other two work perfectly. This one mounts fine on the lens, but wont mount on the camera (with or without the lens).
I was just worried that there was some other "A" adapter version for some other camera like a pentax or something that might look like a Nikon... in my ignorance, I just dont know if there is a non-nikon bayonet mount that is almost identical to Nikon... that's the dilema before I start filing...
I am going to hold off "altering" the adapter till I know for sure. The other two are working fine on my Tair 11a and Mir 10A... this one would go on the MTO-11CA, but maybe I dont need it. Online it says that there is significant over infinity focus on the MTO-11CA so I could maybe mount a standard M42 Nikon adapter on it and still have infinity focus.... or I could buy another AP N/K adapter... |
