See note, however! - Lets me use my older M42 threaded lenses with my Panasonic GX85 camera. Do note that certain M42-mount lenses (not designed for specifically for Pentax cameras) may have an extra pin (for locking onto the camera mounting flange) or an overhanging aperture ring that presses against the flange of this adapter and so prevents aperture adjustment! As examples: Early Ricoh lenses have the extra pin and Mamiya-Sekor SX lenses have both the pin and the ring overhang. If all you have is the -extra- pin (not the pin that closes the aperture as that's needed), that may usually be extracted by pulling it out with a vise-grip. (Don't remove the aperture pin!!) If you have a Mamiya-Sekor SX lens that also has the aperture ring overhang, you might be tempted to grind off the overhang but there's a simpler solution: Buy this focusing helicoid instead as it's the same depth as this adapter but is slightly narrower in width so the ring overhang clears the flange surface: https://www.desertcart.com/Fotasy-AM42M-Adapter-Focusing-Helicoid/dp/B00E7HRGCC/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1509407149&sr=8-9&keywords=fotasy+focusing+helicoid This item serves dual-purpose as a standard adapter and, as a focusing helicoid, adds macro capability to your lens (bonus!). I'm also using it with an M42 lens that has a frozen focusing helicoid so this adapter restores normal focusing function. Review: Rainbow Imaging M42 to Micro4/3 adapter - I bought this M42 adapter in order to use a few old screw mount lenses on my new Olympus E-P3. The adapter is solid, locks securely in place on the camera, and lenses fit securely on the M42 mount (correctly oriented, too!). This adapter ensures infinity focus, and it works very well! I keep my old Meyer-Oreston 50mm f/1.8 on it all the time as a great compact intermediate telephoto lens, and I have a second adapter on the way to stay permanently mounted on my 135mm f/2.8 as a compact super-tele! The adapter also works well on my friend's Panasonic AF-100 camcorder and GF-1 camera. ## Features - Solid M42 Lens to MFT Adapter/ M42 Mount to Micro Four Three Mount Converter, allows 42mm Screw Mount Lens (eg, PentaxTakumar, Helios 58mm f2) to fit on Micro 4/3 Mirrorless Digital Cameras - Infinity Focus Guaranteed - Copper Lens mount solid and durable Adjustable - There is no electrical contacts in the adapter ring Automatic diaphragm auto-focusing or any other functions will not operated with using this adapter Exposure and focus has to be adjusted manually - Compatible with Panasonic G1 G2 G3 G5 G7 G9 GH1 GH2 GH3 GH4 GH5 GH5s GF1 GF2 GF3 GF5 GF6 GF7 GF8 GM1 GM5 GX1 GX2 GX7 GX8 GX9 GX85 GX80 GX850 G90 G91 Olympus E-P1 E-P2 E-P3 E-P5 E-PL1 E-PL2 E-PL3 E-PL5 E-PL6 E-PL7 E-PL8 E-PL9 OM-D E-M1 E-M1 Mark II E-M5 E-M5 Mark II E-M5 Mark III E-M10 E-M10 Mark II E-M10 Mark III E-PM2 E-PM1 PEN-F OM-D E-M1X ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002U4PGPI | | Best Sellers Rank | #10 in Camera Lens Adapters & Converters | | Brand | Fotasy | | Built-In Media | Adjustable M42 Lens to Micro 4/3 Adapter | | Camera Lens | 42 millimetres | | Camera Lens Description | 42 millimetres | | Color | M42 Lens to M43 Adapter | | Compatible Camera Mount | Micro Four Thirds | | Compatible Mountings | Micro Four Thirds | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 160 Reviews | | Focal Length Description | 42 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 01398754035669 | | Image stabilization | Digital | | Item Type Name | Adjustable m42 lens to micro 4/3 adapter. | | Item Weight | 3 ounces | | Lens | Standard | | Lens Design | Fixed | | Lens Fixed Focal Length | 1.33 millimeters | | Lens Type | Standard | | Manufacturer | Photography Accessories INC | | Manufacturer Part Number | AM42 | | Maximum Aperture | 1 millimeters | | Maximum Focal Length | 1 millimeters | | Minimum Aperture | 1 millimeters | | Minimum Focal Length | 1 millimeters | | Model Name | MA42 | | Model Number | MA42 | | Number of Diaphragm Blades | 3 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Warranty Description | no | | Zoom Ratio | 1:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fotasy - **Camera Lens Description:** 42 millimetres - **Compatible Mountings:** Micro Four Thirds - **Focal Length Description:** 42 millimeters - **Lens Type:** Standard ## Images ![Fotasy Adjustable M42 Lens to M43 Adapter, 42mm screw Mount to MFT, fits Olympus E-PL8 E-PL9 E-M1 E-M5 E-M10 I II III E-PM2 E-PM1 Pen-F E-M1X/ Panasonic G7 G9 GF8 GH5 GX7 GX8 GX9 GX85 GX80 G90 G91 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MLzd3sMWL.jpg) ![Fotasy Adjustable M42 Lens to M43 Adapter, 42mm screw Mount to MFT, fits Olympus E-PL8 E-PL9 E-M1 E-M5 E-M10 I II III E-PM2 E-PM1 Pen-F E-M1X/ Panasonic G7 G9 GF8 GH5 GX7 GX8 GX9 GX85 GX80 G90 G91 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51O5pAJIeNL.jpg) ![Fotasy Adjustable M42 Lens to M43 Adapter, 42mm screw Mount to MFT, fits Olympus E-PL8 E-PL9 E-M1 E-M5 E-M10 I II III E-PM2 E-PM1 Pen-F E-M1X/ Panasonic G7 G9 GF8 GH5 GX7 GX8 GX9 GX85 GX80 G90 G91 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HGx80tGzL.jpg) ![Fotasy Adjustable M42 Lens to M43 Adapter, 42mm screw Mount to MFT, fits Olympus E-PL8 E-PL9 E-M1 E-M5 E-M10 I II III E-PM2 E-PM1 Pen-F E-M1X/ Panasonic G7 G9 GF8 GH5 GX7 GX8 GX9 GX85 GX80 G90 G91 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IhDmW5UaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works and fits as expected.

The adapter is solid, locks securely in place on the camera, and lenses fit securely on the M42 mount (correctly oriented, too!). This adapter ensures infinity focus, and it works very well!

The adapter also works well on my friend's Panasonic AF-100 camcorder and GF-1 camera. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't beat it for the Price *by C***. on November 4, 2016* For the money this can't be beat, very solid construction, very nice finish, looks like a high dollar adapter. Obviously this isn't a smart adapter so all adjustments will be manual but that worked perfect for my needs. The only complaint is there is a ring that needs to be adjusted to allow infinity focus on some lenses, it uses three very very small flathead screws to release the ring and allow adjustments, I found it was almost impossible to pull the ring out and tighten it back in place evenly around the adapter. I'm glad that there is at least some feature to allow adjustments as neither of the lenses I used could reach infinity focus without it but it could use some polishing. Overall, very solid product that works nicely for what i needed it for without breaking the bank. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fotasy Adjustable M42 Lens to M43 Adapter, 42mm screw Mount to MFT, fits Olympus E-PL8 E-PL9 E-M1 E-M5 E-M10 I II III E-PM2 E-PM1 Pen-F E-M1X/ Panasonic G7 G9 GF8 GH5 GX7 GX8 GX9 GX85 GX80 G90 G91 - (5 Packs) M43 Rear Cap, MFT Rear Lens Cover, Rear Lens Cap M43, Micro Four Thirds Lens Back Cap, Compatible with Panasonic Lumix/Olympus Micro 4/3 Mirrorless Camera Lens --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8012506-fotasy-adjustable-m42-lens-to-m43-adapter-42mm-screw-mount](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8012506-fotasy-adjustable-m42-lens-to-m43-adapter-42mm-screw-mount) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
