View Full Version : M42 to EOS adaptors... do I need one for each lens or just one?

They're about ~$20USD each so it adds up. So far I bought two... but do I really need more? I read Andy's post on how he tightened the adapter on one of his lenses too hard....

I'm looking forward to buying a bunch of M42 glass in the future... and it'd be nice to be able to mount them back onto m42 cameras.

Thoughts?

They are easy to switch from lens to lens, so I think you can start with just one or two and see how it goes.

Now, the Nikon to Canon adaptor--that's a pesky SOB to remove from the lens once it's on. Cost me a fingernail.
