Mitakon Lens Turbo Adapter to Canon and M42

Irfan — Wed, 09 Nov 2016 13:26:32 +0000

Im looking to order Mitakon Lens Turbo Mk II adapter. I have some old M42 and Canon lens I want to use. Can I use them all on one adapter with maybe additional ring mount (Example: Mitakon Adapter to Canon > M42 adapter with M42 lens). Or I need to order two Mitakon adapters ?

FS: Lens Turbo M42 to Micro Four Thirds

cantsin — Sun, 01 Jun 2014 10:17:17 +0000

Selling an unused Lens Turbo M42 (Praktica/Pentax screw mount) to Micro Four Thirds for 40 Euro + 10 Euro postage, in its original package, EU only.

I unfortunately haven't been able to use this adapter because it doesn't fit the Blackmagic Pocket Camera. This problem is acknowlegded by RJ and seems to be related to non-standard measures of the Pocket's MFT mount. This adapter fits Panasonic GH cameras with no trouble (tested it with the GH1 and GH2).

(If you're interested to buy it, please drop me a personal message.)

M42 lenses for use with Kowa anamorphic lenses with BMPCC / GH2

burrencrawler — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 07:09:06 +0000

Hi Guys, This may be my first thread, I have a BMPCC and a GH2 both of which I love. Also recently I have bought a Kowa (sometimes labelled as Bell & Howell) anamorphic lens. This will be my first time playing with anamorphic, I love everything about the look. The Kowa anamorphic lens is a 58mm screw mount lens that needs a screw mount adapter kit which clamps on to your lens of choice. So far I have got the Helios 44-2 58mm, Focal MC F2.8 135mm, & a MIR-1B F2.8 37mm lens. These are all VERY reasonably priced on eBay. Has anyone any other ideas for must have M42 lenses for use with anamorphics with a BMPCC/GH2?

Longest lens supportable with a video monopod?

ardilla_llameante — Mon, 03 Feb 2014 23:50:17 +0000

Hey all!

What do you think is the longest lens you can use with a video monopod? I am thinking of getting a mogopod, custom setup, Benro or Manfrotto. I have a standard footless monopod and I get some pretty unstable shots with a 135mm m42 lens. I am doing event videos with this setup, mostly wedding stuff, so being able to get some length would be really nice.

First time post, sorry if I screw something up.

Here's the sort of thing I would like to do: http://www.406films.com/wedding-and-event/

Substitute a M42 mount by a MFT mount

gameb — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 03:44:35 +0000

Anybody knows something about substituting a M42 mount by a MFT mount? Any tutorials? I saw a lens being sold that was modified in this way. No adapter needed any more. Appreciate any infos about it.

Hey Guys,

I was looking at getting a Soviet Quarz Zoom 16mm which comes with a Meteor-2 Lens.

What sort of mount is this? Is it able to be chucked on a M42 camera?

Converting Zeiss Jena Biotar 25mm f/1.4 to M4/3

rsg2033 — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:11:17 +0000

I found a Zeiss Jena Biotar 25mm f/1.4 lens for relatively cheap, so I asked the seller what type of mount it was and he replied with, "Pentaflex". I've tried searching numerous forums and google about this style of mount and there really isn't very much information. I was wondering if anyone knew if the seller just made a mistake and it's actually M42 or if Pentaflex is a real mount. If Pentaflex is an accurate description for the mount on this lens, is it adaptable to M4/3?

Thank you in advance for any help.
