The M42 screw mount is one of the most widely used vintage lens mounts, produced by dozens of manufacturers across the Soviet Union, East Germany, Japan and beyond from the 1950s through to the 1980s. The large range of available glass and affordable prices make M42 one of the most popular vintage systems for adapted shooting.
