Hi,
are you aware of any Altix to M42 adapter available on the market?
I have an old Altix mount lens and I'd like to use it with a M42->Fuji X helicoid macro adapter, as I plan to use the lens mainly for macro shots.

I could not find nothing on ebay.

Regards

You can fit the lens mount into a T2 to M42 adapter(with slight modification, see here https://youtu.be/xGEXlBJeD_A ) or fit the lens directly to a helicoid. You will need a short M42 helicoid to get infinity if you go with the T2 to M42 route. Please post the set up here once you are finished.

You may also pill a cheap M42/Canon, Nikon adapter a bit. Did just so like 30 times, for various friends, buyers etc.

Hi
thanks for the tips.
I think I should proceed stepwise. I have found an Altix to M39 adapter, to which I can add a M39 to M32 adapter (which is a step down ring I think) and then I should ready to go.

Makes sense?

Thanks.

I have an Altix to M42 plastic adapter probably from de ´60s but only allows macro work.
