as far as i know, there are adaptor (with optic)that would permit infinity focus. you can find it at ebay. but the optic will degrade the overall quality of...
But I have heard that most M42 -> Nikon AF adaptors don't permit these lenses to attain 'infinity focus'. Would you or any other list members know of any...
You need to buy a m42/nikon adapter which has a correction element. This is because M42 working distance is shorter than nikon's. I have one. Obviously, with a...
Sorry for being so late with my reply. But no - these Zeiss M42 lenses are no fakes, they all are real. The company of Carl Zeiss Jena (GDR) ran a mass...
I agree with Werner's generalizations, but for those who aren't of his generation, keep in mind that in the late 70's or early 80's Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen...

Frank, the Argus/M42 registration difference is 1mm. I've made the drawings for the adapter and will make a few since I've had no luck finding an original. My...
Neil, I'm afraid we're comparing apples and pears in this case: Nikkors are for Nikon cameras, and M42 lenses are for Spotmatics, Prakticas, old Yashicas and...
Werner, let me explain that I am using a Canon DSLR and have adapters for M42 and Nikon. While I love my old Super Takumars, I've noticed the modern Nikon's to...
