Hello will this work for MIR-20M lens? Thanks.

Hi Seni! Unfortunately, MIR-20M lens will not fit. Sorry. Raf.

Hello. I measured my METEOR 17-69mm f/1.9 zoom lens (original Krasnogorvsk 16mm zoom lens) and it seems that it would fit your adapter. Can you confirm that? Thank you.

Hi Eric. Meteor will NOT fit this adapter. Aperture ring gets stuck before the adapter reach it's correct position. Sorry. Raf.

Hello! Will this adaptor work with Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 2.8 Zebra series?

Hi Sebastian. Unfortunately, I can not know all existing lenses. There is a drawing with critical dimensions on the page. Please measure your lenses and check against the drawing to see if they fit or not. Thank you. Raf.

I have the following two (2) M42x1 lens for my Krasnogorsk-3 movie camera, i.e. 1. Meteor-5-1 17-69 mm f/ 1.9 zoom lens (Russian: Метеор) 2. Peleng 8mm f3.5 prime lens Will they fit this adapter?

Hi Nicholas. No, this adapter will NOT fit these lenses. Sorry. Raf.

Hello, I recently had an M42 Zeiss Jena Flektogon in my possession (that I needed to return). I measured the back at 51mm - I assume this was the correct measurement to take. Based on the above information, do you believe that this adapter would fit a Flektogon 35mm lens?

Hi Alexander. Unfortunately, I can't know how exactly you measured that lens. if you did this correctly, it will fit this adapter. Thank you. Raf.

Can this use for takumar lenses?

Hi Aquardes. Most probably, no. But I can't know every lens. You should measure your particular lenses and compare them with the adapter drawing. Thank you. Raf.

Hello there! Will this fit the Zenitar 16mm 2.8? Since the Zenitar was built for the Zenit camera, it should work? Also if it will not focus to infinity, will it focus at all? Thanks

Hi Ryan. The Zenitar 2.8/16mm lens will NOT fit, since it has too large flange diameter. You can install the adapter reversed, and the lens will fit then, but it will focus to very close distances only (a few centimeters from the lens front). Thank you. Raf.

M42x1 lens to Arri PL camera mount adapter, improved

Details

Front side - M42x1 female thread
Rear side - Arri PL mount

The adapter allows using M42x1 lenses (for Zenit, Praktica cameras) on cameras with Arri PL mount.

Actually, not every lens will fit it since it is necessary to recess the adapter into Arri PL mount to match FFD (to allow infinity focus). So, you'll be able to install any lens that is narrow enough in the rear part - less than 53mm diameter (see the drawing with important dimensions).

This 53mm is the maximum that can be achieved for this type of adapter.

There are cut-outs on all 4 bayonet lugs to provide 4 mounting positions (you may want to position a lens' index mark to a different side for assistant job, for example).

A distinctive feature from competing offers is a set screw in the m42 flange. It allows securing a lens position so you can't unscrew the lens accidentally if the focus ring is tight. The screw comes from the rear side and doesn't damage a lens thread. The black color prevents light reflections.

The adapter is machined from high quality aluminium alloyWhy aluminium?, anodized to black color, and laser engraved.
