M42 Lens Adapter for E-Mount

This brass and anodized aluminum adapter connects M42 screw-mount lenses to Sony E-Mount camera bodies. It supports aperture-priority and manual exposure modes while enabling focus to infinity. The camera must be set to shoot without a lens for the adapter to function.

Replacing native E-Mount lenses

Photographers who own legacy M42 glass from Zeiss, Pentax, Praktica, Mamiya or Zenit can mount those lenses on modern mirrorless bodies. The upgrade is worthwhile when manual focus and stopped-down metering suit the shooting style and autofocus is not required.

Suits manual-focus enthusiasts

Creators who enjoy adapting vintage optics for unique rendering will find this adapter a precise, all-metal solution. Photographers who need autofocus, electronic aperture control or EXIF data transfer should look at native E-Mount lenses instead.

Questions about this item

What thread size does the adapter accept on the lens side?

It accepts the standard M42 screw thread used by Zeiss, Pentax, Praktica, Mamiya and Zenit lenses.

Which camera setting must be enabled before attaching the adapter?

You must turn on the 'shoot without lens' option in the camera menu so the E-Mount body will fire without detecting a native lens.

Will the brass mount threads wear out and need replacement?

The brass and anodized aluminium construction is designed for repeated mounting cycles and does not have a scheduled replacement interval.
