SKU CH-YNAX-VH8SE

Shift adapter connects M42 screw-mount lenses to Sony E-mount cameras with precise perspective control

  • Precise shift control for perspective correction and creative manipulation
  • Robust brass and metal build ensures secure lens-to-camera connection
  • Full compatibility with Sony Alpha E-mount mirrorless cameras
  • Restore vintage M42 screw mount lenses on modern Sony bodies
  • Infinity focus and manual aperture control for complete photographic command

Precise Shift Control

The Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Shift Adapter connects M42 Type 2 screw mount lenses to Sony Alpha E-mount mirrorless cameras. It provides smooth, accurate shifting movements for perspective correction and creative image manipulation. The adapter delivers infinity focus and manual aperture control for complete photographic command.

Vintage Lens Revival

This Version 2 adapter replaces a standard mount converter by adding shift functionality and an enlarged lip that depresses the lens aperture pin. The upgrade is worth it when you need full aperture control on most M42 lenses without aperture preview levers. It is not suitable for Pentax Takumar lenses.

Durable Brass Construction

Built from durable brass and metal, the adapter maintains a secure, stable connection between lens and camera body during extended shooting sessions. The robust materials resist wear from repeated mounting and shifting adjustments. It ensures reliable performance for demanding architectural or creative workflows.

Questions about this item

Will the 42mm thread on this adapter fit my M42 Type 2 lens?

Yes, the adapter uses a 42mm x1 screw mount that matches the Type 2 specification for standard M42 lenses.

How do I attach the adapter to my Sony E-mount body and what step is often missed?

Screw the lens into the adapter first, then mount the combined unit onto the camera bayonet; the enlarged lip on this Version 2 adapter must depress the lens aperture pin to enable aperture control.

Does the brass mount need any lubrication or replacement parts over time?

The all-metal brass construction requires no lubrication and has no user-serviceable parts; normal use does not wear the mount surfaces.
