+The M42 screw mount is one of the most versatile vintage lens mounts, used extensively by Pentax, Zenit, Praktica and many other manufacturers from the 1960s through 1980s.
+This simple passive adapter allows any M42 lens to be mounted on Micro Four Thirds bodies with infinity focus.
+No electronic contacts means fully manual aperture and focus control, but the vast range of affordable M42 glass makes this one of the most useful adapters in the collection.
