Yeenon adapters are usually more expensive than other makes from China, because their stuff is better made with good precision and this particular one came with a nice box, and a rear cap. The adapter cost $15 plus $8 shipping.
Before buying this adapter, I was using a modified C-Mount to E-Mount adapter that has an inner 42mm thread, but this kind of adapters are now hard to find. Most C-Mount adapters sold now do not have inner threads.
This adapter fits the Yeenon helicoid like a glove. It also is very precisely made and mates to the Sony A7 with a snuggle fit and no play at all. The fit and finish is first rate. Very happy with it.
Super interesting blog, you will probably have several comments from me...I was wondering why this adapter would not let you focus to infinity, is it because of the space between the back of the lens and the sensor? Or would the back of the lens hit the sensor at infinity?
ReplyDeleteThis adapter was made specifically for focus helicoids or anything that require a very thin adapter. Usually used as part of another adapter. Regular M42 to NEX (E-Mount) adapters are more than 20 times thicker than this one.
