Outdoor Test Feeling Pink by D.Digital, on Flickr

It's branded Pixco it's a M42 to M4/3, the M42 adapter for my NEX has no branding on it.

Not had a chance to go out the last few days and shoot anything but I got a Panasonic G2 body yesterday and bolted the 50mm onto that and tested it around the house. This shot is wide open. No Flash. Indoors -0.3 Exposure, ISO 320 1/125 of a second.

Adapter turned up today from Hong Kong, was set almost right out the factor, came with correct size Hex key in the box so adjusted the rotation and all my primes are working perfectly including Pentacon 50mm although the focus ring on my copy is starting to get stiff. (Common with these lenses...

Used them a few times in the past, For both a DSLR and a few lenses. never had any issues and everything was as described.

Nice Shots!, I sent the messed up M42 adapter back to Amazon awaiting a different one from a ebay seller that has a flange plate to push the pin in, hopefully the screws to adjust the center ring are threaded properly on this one.

Found a key the right size in the end after going to Maplin, however one of the hex screws in the adapters has been screwed down too tight from the factory and the head is stripped so can't be unscrewed. So going to have to get a replacement.

Got a Fotga M42 Adapter today, anybody know what size Torx or Allen Key is needed to loosen the screws off so I can point my lenses up the right way? My Glass all work fine just upside down so can't see aperture ring.

Cool, Decided to go down the Sony route as well with a nice deal on a mint C3 with Kit Lens and ordered a M42 adapter so I can use my various 28, 35, 50mm Primes.

I've got one of these and used it a few times on two Canon DSLR's lovely cheap lens, although the aperture blades can be a bit slow to respond sometimes if you turn the ring too fast. They made millions of them under various brands as well. Can't wait to try it on a mirrorless system when I can...

Received my first ever Camera order from Park yesterday and it was properly sealed stock, only issue I had was Parcelforce not bothering to deliver it on Tuesday but Park chased them and it turned up half 11 yesterday morning.
