I just got one of these 400mm lenses after hunting about a little. Anyone have experience with it? I've got quite a few lenses, but this one has a feature I am...
Richard, I'm not familiar with this particular lens, but I've seen a lot of lense that have a removable filter holder. Pull the holder out, put in the filter,...
Hmm. I know nothing about this lens, but I like a good hunt. So, here's what I found: http://m42.artlimited.net/lens_detail.php?lid=323 says: "Filter size...
Hi Andrew, I have a similar lens (a Konica Hexanon 400mm f4,5). The slot in the back is, indeed, for inserting filters. The purpose of this arrangement is to...

I have had an Enna 400 f4.5 for about 15 years (s\n 2467211). The optics IMHO are quite good and it has given me good service - it weighs a ton and I usually...
Hi, I don't have that one. I have only the 135/4 with aluminium barrel and 2 of the 180/2.8. But there is this guy that has a great page with a lot of...
Andrew, and others... Thanks for the information on the Enna 400mm 4.5! I did send an email to Captain Jack and he got me photos of the lens base and what the ...

Hi Jay, I too, have gone the K10D route and I agree with all your comments. Just one thing, I found that the focusing screen of the K10D must have been...
Hi, I got a CZJ 20/2.8 MC len for Praktica B camera. My camera is M42 camera. Where can I get a adapter to fit PB len into M42 body? Thanks! And I heard that...

All, Why is the register distance for M42 sometimes given as 45.5 mm and sometimes given as 45.46 mm? Is it a case of the German and Russian outfits using one...
... Yep, that's the sort of source I am referring to. But then one comes across things like GOST 10332 (http://www.zenitcamera.com/qa/qa-gost10332-72.html) and...
I also went the K10D route after my EOS 350D went dead. I had a ton of M42 lenses and I now have a ton of old K-mount lenses as well... (they are also quite...
just in case anyone out there is contemplating buying a Pentax K10d to use m42 lenses, I've posted a few examples of using my M42 50mm F1.4 on Flickr here.. ...
