Hi Philippe,

I checked on this with Rayqual and they are not aware of any issue – which doesn’t mean that there won’t be any, but bear in mind that they have been doing M42 for other formats for a long time.

No adapter can ever be totally free of complications or incompatibilities because there are simply too many variations of lens and body combinations. You have to try to be sure. Feel free to order the adapter and you can return it in case it does not work for refund (excluding postage).

There are two types of M42 adapters, one with an internal rim
which
depresses the auto-aperture pin and one with no rim. The
most recent SMC
Takumars with full aperture metering (on the
appropriate Pentax body)
should not be used with the rimmed
adapter, as the diaphragm coupling
lever grinds against the rim.

My question is : Does the Rayqual M42-M4/3 adapter work
with these most recent
SMC-Takumar M-42 lenses ?

Since Takumar screw mount is M42 our Rayqual M42-M4/3 adapter should fit the bill here.

Looking for an adapter so I can use my old screw mount takumar lenses on my lumix gf1.

Hi Bill,

I have not heard of such an adapter, in fact I am not aware of any Minolta AF/Sony Alpha adapters. Whether that’s a technical, market potential or legal/patent issue I don’t know.

Do you have an adapter that will allow me to use my Contax RTS lens on a Sony A500

Unfortunately they don't seem to make that one, only M645 to EOS, Nikon and Pentax K.

Is there any possibility of obtaining a Mamiya M645 to Sony/Minolta adapter?
