M42-FX Adapter

Got an old drawer full of M42 screw-mount lenses and a Fujifilm X body that needs company? This M42-FX adapter is the simple bridge between the two. M42 screw-mount lenses were the workhorse of 35mm SLRs from many makers for decades, and this ring lets those glass collections reach a modern X-series mirrorless body. It is a plain mechanical part, with no optics and no electronics, so what it does is exactly what it looks like. The unit is brand new, from a generic maker, and is listed here with a Near Mint grade.

Specifications

• Lens end: M42 x 1 screw mount, the 42mm thread used by M42-mount lenses.
• Camera end: Fujifilm X mount, for X-series mirrorless bodies.
• Built to hold the lens squarely and without wobble, with the flange-distance difference between the two mounts compensated.
• Supports focusing to infinity with the lens's own focus ring.
• No electronic contacts, so autofocus and automatic aperture control do not carry over. Aperture is set on the lens ring.
• Metering works only in manual mode or in aperture-priority with stop-down metering.
• Interior finished matte black to reduce internal reflections.

Condition

• Cosmetic: Brand new condition.
• Functional: Fully working and clean.

Included

• 1 x M42-FX generic lens adapter ring

An inexpensive way to put a shelf of manual lenses onto an X-series body. Expect manual focus and manual aperture only, as with any adapter of this kind.
