Very well made, perfect fit, on the Fotodiox Pronto AF adapter, and my Helios 44.

With the FotodioX Mount Adapter, seamlessly connect your M42 lens to any Leica M-Series SLR or DSLR camera body. This high-quality, durable adapter is designed to maximize the use of your existing lens collection, eliminating the need for costly new purchases. It's an ideal tool for photographers who value versatility and reliability in their equipment.

This adapter is expertly crafted to facilitate the use of larger format lenses on smaller format sensors, such as large format to medium format, medium format to 35mm, and 35mm to micro 4/3. This unique feature provides exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness, minimizing lens distortion and aberration by utilizing the 'sweet spot' or center of the larger lens image circle.

Constructed with high-standard precision, the FotodioX Mount Adapter features a leaf spring design that securely holds the lens to the camera body, eliminating any play between the two. Its all-metal design and polished surface ensure smooth mounting and long-lasting experiences, making it a reliable addition to any photographer's toolkit.

This versatile adapter allows all M42 lenses to fit on a Leica M SLR/DSLR camera body. While the lens will fit physically, please note that automatic diaphragm, auto-focusing, or any other functions may not operate correctly while using this adapter. In such cases, the "stop-down mode" will need to be used when metering, as the lens does not have the ability to have its aperture controlled by the camera body. This adapter supports shooting in manual mode or aperture priority mode, offering flexibility for your photography needs.
