Orlin, Are you sure? The difference, 45.5 - 45.46 = 0.04mm = 0.00157" (I think better in inches) would mean the film is pretty darned thin. I just measured...
Tim, the numbers I have were from: http://www.markerink.org/WJM/HTML/mounts.htm I agree that the film thickness is greater than .0015"... perhaps the distance...
I have a MIR-20 2.5 that is in great/mint/new condition, wonderfully sharp, that I use with my Sigma SD14. My shortest M42 extension tubes which I think are...
(In reply) - Your essential problem is stemming from the use of a 20mm lens for macro - not ideal, since the lens cannot rack out the way that even a 50mm...

... Actually, sorry, was crossing my wires. It is an MIR-47M 20mm 2.5 ... It is manual focus already, so that isn't an issue. I'll check him out. I already...
(In reply) - Based on what the specs say, this will be an unusual choice for macro. The specs seem to indicate that the designer tried to overcome the "lack...
... I excel in unusual choices for macro. I've been using my Helios 40-2 for quite a while, and have tried the Jupiter-9 as well. These are some of the things...
(In reply/trimmed) - I have the P6 Zeiss Sonnar 180mm f/2.8 as well that was multicoated for me at Arax (they no longer have access to the machine), along with...
DOF is a function of magnification and relative aperture( f-stop). focal length is not a factor. Short macro lenses dont have more depth of field as longer...
(In reply) - To foreshorten a lengthly technical discussion, which then can be linked even to crop-factor issues with DSLR's and "relative" focal lengths ... ...
RE the aforementioned: In movies these kinds of perspective (and resulting DOF changes) can be used by the filmmaker - one extreme example is the "dolly zoom",...
... I am perhaps not understanding the reply...Though a short lens will have generally different DOF than a long lens as they do not achieve the same...
... BTW -- I did find what I believe is a very short tube based on this prompt -- either a different 7mm or even a 6mm, as the owner of those would only ship...
(In reply) - You are mixing different parameters, apparently. Lenses of the same focal length, on the same film format, will have the same hyperfocal scale....

Hello list, Just letting you know in case anyone of you is interested. I am selling a nice 2.8/80 Biometar in our beloved M42 mount. You can take a look at it...

(In reply) - Happy New Year. IMO we've seen the end of the bull market in M42 prime; in part because of the worldwide economy; and in part because of the...
hi ! Yes, I know cameraquest was preparing a Leica-M/micro 4/3 adapter... now I know Novoflex is preparing same. I will probably pick one of them up , along...

The movie mode certainly is interesting... but have you tried manual focusing thru a 4/3 camera ? It's horrendously small. You are practically reliant on the...

(In reply) - That's all you got from the entire discussion? A typo? You should be happy about having another potential "home" for M42 lenses. "The APS-C...
