Actually it does matter. If all works well then less work in post processing. I do find the Zeiss colors are accurate in most cases. Some Pentax takumar are...
I am new to M42. Heard from my friend that there are two type of M42, one is M42 X1 and another is X0.75? It is for different lens? Is it ture? which one mor...
(In reply) - That would be a "new one" for me - M42 refers to a physical dimension in millimeters (i.e. a metric screw thread of 42 mm diameter and 1 mm thread...

(In reply) - I have a couple of Mir lenses, including in P6 mount, and my general impression is that they will perform fine - for a 35mm f/2.0 such as this...
Perhaps at that time it made sense to do so? When the bayonet was introduced there was still M44 lenses in circulation. Up until the 1970s it wasn't uncommon...
Miranda's advertising in the Sixties made quite a lot of the dual mount, the intention was for the bayonet to be used for general purpose lenses like wide...
