Lens Mount Adapter M42 to Sony E NEX Mount Camera

SKU: KF06.067

Q
I am buying a sony nex-5, how do i know which lenses would fit with the m42 adapter?
Answer Question
A
Any lens that use the M42 size screw in mount. The only other screw mount is M39 and these won’t fit, they would need a different adaptor. They will invariably be vintage lenses and you will only be able to use them in the aperture priority or manual modes, stopping town the iris when metering. Search on EBay for “M42 lens”, that will give you an idea of what you can find.
