The M42 Lens to Sony E-Mount Adapter with Macrofrom M42 Lens to Sony E-Mount Adapter with Macrois an all-metal adapter that allows you to connect a M42 screw-mount lens to a body. It is designed for macro focusing, featuring an extendable helicoid that covers focus from infinity to close distances with variable magnification ability depending on the lens. For mounting, the adapter comes with chrome-plated brass mounts that help ensure a tight fit and connection.

Please note that this is a manual adapter, and so any electronic communication between the lens and the camera is disrupted. Any lens without a manual aperture control ring will stop down to its smallest f-stop by default. Manual exposure and metering are still possible with your camera's aperture priority mode.

Q: 9. Thanks for the previous answer but that was not what I was asking. I was asking about compatibility. Fotodiox makes a distinction between Type 1 and Type 2. The answer on the other adapter to a question about compatibility was this: "Possibly, If the aperture pin of your M42-mount lens depresses all the way down, your lens is considered type 2 and this V2 lens mount adapter is compatible with it. However, if your M42-mount lens has no aperture pin, tabs, or levers; or if it has an aperture pin that does not fully depress (small tabs stick out), it is considered a type-1 lens and is compatible with V1 adapters (available separately)." Do I need to worry about that distinction with this adapter?

A: No you don't need to worry about that distinction with this adapter. The adapter is listed as compatible with both M42-mount types.

Q: 10. What is the mm range of adjustment?
