Excellent Product
A friend gave me an old M42 200 mm lens since hewas unable to make use of it. I bpoght this adapter to see if the lens was still viable. The adapter connects to both the lens and the camera very positively and cleanly. A good sign is that the red focussing mark and the aperture equivalent are top dead centre.The lens is of the early aperture preset type where you set the desired aperture, but the lens remains fully open until you spin the ring adjacent to the aperture ring to close down prior to exposure.Clearly one can either use a meter and set the shutter speed manually or leave the camera meter to set it at the time of exposure. Clearly the exposure time displayed will only be accurate with the lens stopped down. Focus will obviously be manual, but with Olympus bodies you will get image stabilisation if you manually set the focal length.An interesting experience using a lens designed for cameras several generations of development back, pretty well using the same techniques we were using 60 years ago.This adapter feels so well made that it was a pleasure to use it.
