An extendable adapter for pairing M42 mount lenses with any Sony E mount camera.
DESCRIPTION
Our extendable lens mount adapter lets you adjust the effective focal length of your lens for sharp macro photography. Experiment with new lens combinations and pair any M42 mount lens with your Sony E mount camera.
Our M42-E Extendable Lens Mount Adapter is manual so most automatic functions – aperture, autofocus, AE metering and image stabilisation – must be adjusted manually. Exposure settings need to be set manually too.

READ MORECan I change my aperture when using this lens mount adapter?
Only if your lens has a manual aperture control ring.
If you use a lens with electronic aperture and no manual control ring, because this lens mount adapter is fully manual, your aperture would remain at its maximum aperture (lowest f-stop).
What is a lens mount adapter?
A lens adapter allows you to attach a different brand of lens to your camera body, letting you use an otherwise incompatible lens with your camera.
How do I find the right lens adapter for my lens and camera?
Find your lens mount and your camera mount.
The easiest way to find and confirm your lens mount is to know the mount of the camera it was used on originally. A quick internet search of the camera model followed by lens mount is a sure way to confirm what lens mount you need. For example if you have an old Nikon lens and you know it was used on a Nikon FM2, you can easily find that the lens has a Nikon F-mount. This is particularly useful for lenses that are made for different mounts i.e Sigma and Tamron bring out the same lens with different mounts including EF, F, E so knowing the camera the lens was used on is a good shortcut.
If you have an old second hand lens and you are unsure of the camera it was made for, take all the known details of the lens and search the web.
Why buy a lens mount adapter?
To utilise quality old lenses with your new camera, or match a different make of lens to your camera.
There are countless creative experiments to be explored by mixing different brands of lenses with your camera body. Lens adapters can also help your existing collection of lenses go further with any new cameras you collect. So you can invest in a new camera and make the most of your favourite lenses.
How do you use a lens mount adapter?
Find a detailed how to for each filter at the base of its product page.
In summary, attach your lens to the adapter, and then your adapter to your camera body. Put all settings on your lens and camera into manual mode, and select ‘shoot without lens’ in your camera settings.
When should I use a lens mount adapter?
Whenever you want to use a different make of lens with your camera body.
Because you need to use your camera in full manual mode, you may need to familiarise yourself with this before shooting. You’ll soon work out which lenses you enjoy using with your camera. Analogue lenses can provide professional quality glass at a fraction of the cost of modern lenses so lens adapters can help you shoot with better lenses for less.
Was looking for a quality helicoid for close up photography with my vintage M42 lenses and this Urth is perfect. Very sturdy, infinity focus and no play.
A lot of M42 lenses have a less-than-stellar minimum focusing distance, so the extension feature is worth getting even for uses outside of macro photography– I've found it super useful for both portrait photography and filmmaking. Plus, if you're like me and gravitate to lenses like the Helios 44-2 and Mir-1B for their aberrations and the way they affect bokeh, having the ultra-thin focus afforded by the extension helps accentuate those features in lighting conditions where you may not be able to shoot wide open. To be honest, I got this one instead of the non-extendable one on accident, but it's definitely not an accident I regret.
Works perfectly and feels like great quality.
Very well built mount, it feels secure when attached to my fx6 body.
The extending is a fun feature to have as well!
