## Description

Whether you're shooting digitally or on film, Fotodiox offers the world's largest selection of lens adapters. Mix camera/lens platforms or reinvigorate vintage glass; Fotodiox has hundreds of ways to mount lenses onto your DSLR or SLR camera. Our adapters deliver infinity focus, manual aperture control, and a sturdy build for lasting quality. M42 Lens Compatibility Note: This adapter is ‘Type 1’ which means it works with M42 lenses that offer aperture control from the aperture ring. Compatible Nikon F Cameras (including but not limited to): D7100, D7000, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3300, D3200, D3100, D3000, D800, D800E, D700, D610, D600, D300, D300S, D200, D100, D50, D60, D70, D80, D90, D40, D40x, N70s, D4, D4S, D3, D3S, D3X, D2, D2H, D2Hs, D2X, D2Xs, D1, D1H, D1X, DF Please Note: ; Due to the Nikon F-mount focal flange being longer than the M42 mount, infinity focus will not be possible. ; Lens orientation will vary from lens to lens. ; This is a manual adapter, so lens functions that rely on electronic communication with the camera body (autofocus, AE metering, image stabilization, etc.) will be disrupted. ; We state “infinity focus allowed” because our adapters are designed to be universal which can prevent some lenses from focusing to infinity at the infinity mark. ; Set your camera to “Manual’ or ‘Aperture Priority’ for metering. If camera does not release be sure to enable ‘shoot without lens’ in camera settings. ; All pictures are for illustration purposes only. Actual product may vary slightly due to ongoing improvements in design.

Review: life saver - I like the quality of this brand, don't have any complaints.
Review: There is no support for Automatic Apertures - I like this product, it seems to be well made, the lenses I have (Pentax mount or M42) fit the adapter well, the adapter fits my Nikon D3300 just fine, and the vendor's delivery was great. However (and this is a big however) the adapter will NOT work on any lens that has Automatic aperture - you can tell if your lens is automatic by looking at the bottom of the lens (where it screws into the camera body) and locating a spring loaded pin. If your lens has an automatic aperture, there is no facility for the adapter to force the lens into manual mode hence the only aperture available is full aperture, i.e. 22. That means that lighting is off and focus in dark light is off and basically all the lenses I have cannot be used with this adapter. That doesn't mean I rate the adapter poorly, after all it is doing what it is advertised to do. I simply have no manual aperture lenses hence I cannot use any of my M42 mount lenses on my Nikon D3300. Disappointing as that may be. Remember too that the adapter is not made to support auto-focus so you will have to manually focus the lens, which did not enter into this review since I figured that out before I ordered it. The reason I rated Picture Quality and Auto Focus low is that I could not get the aperture setting correct nor could I get auto-focus. That does not mean the adapter is bad, it simply is not made to support either feature. If you have a fully manual lens (aperture and focus) this adapter will work fine - hence the 4 star review. If you (like me) want the aperture support with manual setting of aperture and focus plus the ability to have infinity focus (this adapter doesn't support infinity focus) then I suggest looking at the Vendor's website for the Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter - M42 Screw Mount SLR Lens to Nikon F Mount SLR Camera Body with Infinity Focus Glass. A bit more money, but worth the added cost for total support of your vintage lenses. Update: I received the M42 to Nikon F adapter with infinity focus today and am glad to say it works perfectly. I am now able to use the lenses from my older film camera (Mamiya/Sekor) with my Nikon D3300. Still manual focus and manual aperture, but that's not a problem.
