Kipon Pentax Screw M42 Lens to Leica M Camera Lens Adapter (with Macro Helicoid)

Nowadays, as the number of people using interchangeable lens digital cameras increases, proprietary combinations of camera lenses and bodies are no longer able to satisfy the increasingly sophisticated demands of the many photography enthusiasts. The use of lens adapters have given users full rein of customizing their equipment to best fulfill their needs through different combinations of lenses and camera bodies. However, although individual camera manufacturers havecreated their own customized adapters, combining lenses and camera bodies of different manufacture has become an ever expanding challenge. At KIPON, a world-renown camera adapter manufacturer, we have developed over 400 types of adapters. With our various adapters, we offer our users the freedom and compatibility of lenses and camera bodies that transcends different times and manufacturers. We have made possible not only the interchangeable use of products across brands but also the use of traditional film lenses. KIPON offers a full line of camera lens adapters including macro adapters, electronic adapters, adapters with integrated glass, optical focal reduction adapters, adapters with built in aperture control, tilt/shift adapters, tilt adapters, and shift adapters. The KIPON M42-L/M M adapter mounts M42 series screw lenses on Leica M series camera bodies. Please note that after mounting the adapter, only manual focus will be accessible when shooting. This adapter is specifically designed to support macro mode. The helicoid can be turned to further focus the lens. Pleasenote that once the helicoid is adjusted out of its original position, infinity focus will no longer be available. When the adapter is in its original position,the infinity focus function will continue to work as usual. All KIPON adapters undergo the CNC turning center procedure during manufacturing to provide our customers with only the utmost precision and quality. We guarantee an ideal fitting between cameras and lenses to maintain the ease and accuracy of photography. All adapters are made of brass and/or aluminum alloy.
