## Description

Mirrorless cameras aren't only revolutionary because of their compact size; they're even more versatile for mounting lenses than their full-sized counterparts! Fotodiox offers strong support for mirrorless camera platforms with hundreds of options for mounting both modern and vintage lenses. Our adapters deliver infinity focus, manual aperture control, and a sturdy build for lasting quality. Compatible Cameras MFT Mirrorless Cameras - Popular models include: Olympus PEN E-PL1, E-PL1s, E-PL2, E-PL3, E-P2, E-P3, E-M, OM-D, E-M5, E-M10 Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, G2, G3, G10, GX1, GH1, GH2, GF1, GF2, GF3, GF5, GH4 Panasonic AG-AF100 Mirrorless Digital Cameras Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC) Note: 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. Set your exposure manually or meter using your camera's Aperture Priority (stop-down) mode. If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, it will stop down to its smallest f/stop by default. All pictures are for illustration purposes only. Actual product may vary slightly due to ongoing improvements in design.

Review: Well made, works as intended. - I purchased this adapter so I could mount an m42 screw mount lens to my micro 4/3 camera. One thing was critical: The adapter needed to have a flange that would depress the aperture pin, or else I would not be able to manually change the aperture with the lens mounted to the camera. This adapter worked flawlessly. The lens mounted properly so all the information was visible from above, the connection between the lens and the mount - and the mount and the body - was perfectly snug but not overly so. The flange depressed the aperture pin without issue. The adapter is made of metal and feels well constructed. Recommended.
Review: Good value for rejuvenating m42; YMMV - This adapter works fairly well, though I only have one lens with which to assess it. I'm experiencing some soft-focus, some coma, and color-fringing. For me, stopping down the aperture alleviates these. Using this adapter, I've mated a 1964/65 Super Asahi 50mm 1.4 lens to a Panasonic GH4; the crop factor gives it a 100mm equivalent focal length for full frame. If I did not already own the lens, I would just grab the Olympus 45mm/1.8 which is sharp, light, and practical (at 90mm equiv.). Although, in the future I'd love to get a CZJ Sonnar 180/2.8! Pros: this adapter opens up a world of m42 glass; going manual on mirrorless cameras is EASY with features like live-previews of exposure, and focus-assists like peaking; it is built well and solid without adding an unreasonable amount of weight or bulk; because of the crop factor it doubles the effective focal length and uses the sharp center of the lens (especially useful on older lenses which struggle with corner sharpness); excellent for a video kit. Cons: While it has good build quality, I'm not a fan of that small screw on the MFT side (I have tilt the lens when initially mating it to the body in order to clear the head of that screw... might need to grab a micro philips-head and see if it tightens down; no electronics, no metering, etc. (nature of the beast); need a new body-side lens cap; as you go for wider angles, you'll have to get a native lens (like wider than standard), because there's no sense in cropping a superwide; it will exacerbate optical flaws (like comma or color-fringing) in old lenses. Other thoughts: I liquidated my Nikon kit earlier this year and I have jumped ship to mirrorless (mft). Admittedly, it wasn't too severe of a switch: a D3100 (which had served me well), the kit 18-55, an AF 70-210, and an AF-S 50 1.8 (an excellent lens, btw). I won't take up your time with my rationale for switching, but in retrospect it was a good decision. I purchased a Panasonic GH4 along with some batteries, a 64GB SDXC, an Olympus 25 1.8, and two adapters: (a) this m42-MFT, mounted to a Super Asahi 50mm (crops to 100mm on FF equivalent) 1.4 and (b) a Nikkor-MFT adapter, mounted to a Nikkor 105mm (now 210) f/2.5 with multi-coating. In other words, I've got fast primes for 50, 100, and 210. Now to save up for wide angle...
