Waste glass recycling
have quite a few old M42 lenses that I've always wanted to use again. On the Nikon DSLRs you need such an adapter. I've also tried a few different M42 adapters and found that some lenses give perfect results on some adapters, but give unusable results with other M42 adapters. That seems to me to be explainable because the focal point of the lenses is shifted by the overall depth of the adapter. Sometimes it fits - sometimes it doesn't. So I'm not giving this adapter a negative rating because it's useless with my 135mm lens, I'm giving it 5 stars because it does a great job on my 400mm Ennalyt lens. Also, with a €25 adapter I don't expect the aperture control to be passed on - the ring doesn't have the corresponding contacts at all - it's a very flat, purely mechanical adapter ring, without a lens. So I leave it firmly attached to my Ennalyt lens and enjoy the crisp photos, even if I have to stop down by a stop or two....
