M39 to M42 Adapter on a E-Rokkor 105mm f4.5 lens
Using 'Lens Adapters' is a good way to have a more versatile outfit and can save a lot of extra buying ! I have a selection which enables me to use all my lovely 'M42 Pentax / Praktica Screw Thread lenses' on my other cameras , including Digital .I got my Pentax M42 to Pentax 'K' Bayonet and my Canon 'P' adapter for a Fiver each from the famous Dealer David S.H Leung of Goodmayes. The M39 Leica thread to M42 Screw came with my Russian MTO 500mm mirror lens and I have used it for sports with my Pentax Screw models and with the 105mm f4.5 E-Rokkor enlarging lens ( shown) for Macro photos. The latest addition was an adapter to enable me to fit M42 screw lenses on my 2005 'Gift' Olympus E-500 digital and I use it with a 50mm f1.4 SMC Takumar, or my 50mm f4 SMC Macro-Takumar. Of course, you loose all the 'Electronic Contacts' for Auto-Focus and such like so you have to use 'Manual Focus and Manual Exposure' but it's WORTH IT ! I did a VIDEO about these adapters -- you can see it HERE : www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAkStTNqh84
