M42 Lens Mount to Nikon Z Camera Mount

“This adapter brings vintage glass back to life. My Jena, Yashinon, Mir, Chinon and Raynox M42 lenses all fit flawlessly on the Nikon Z — no play, no fight, just precision. It’s built like a piece of old-school metal, made for photographers who slow down and really see. It even made me almost stop using modern lenses altogether.”

At first I used the M42-F lens mount adapter (with optical lens) on my D850 but soon discovered that with Helios lenses the infinity is just wishful thinking. On other lenses, like Pentacon, it works like a charm.

So I decided to try it on my Zf with FTZ II adapter ... but had the same issue.

Finally I purchased the M42-Z from Urth and all my vintage lenses are usable now.

This is a quality adapter that I've used with my Nikon Z6. There is some play with an old russian m42 lens I have but as far as i know this is quite common with this kind of lenses. Recommended!

This is a very high quality adapter with a snug fit and no play on the mount. Recommended for use with M42 vintage lenses!
