Good suggestion and that is an option. I read that the macro adapters seem to
vignette with some lenses. I know you have a stable of oddball mounts with a
myriad of adapters so that may be a better strategy.I don't have nearly as many
oddball mounts as you and this would be my only M42 mount and the adapter would
live on the lens. I need to reorganize my adapters and put in one clear box.
( I have it, but the sorting has not occurred)I know there are Leica M to Sony
helicoid adapters and I looked into an angular adjustable M42 to Leica M
adapter and then the helicoid Leica M to Sonnie. As it is an alt lens anyway,
don't worry much about additive registration issues or slight tilt. The
problem is the Leica M helicoid adapters only give about 4mm extension which
would only get the mag to about 1:7 from 1:9. Actually my Techart Pro AF
Leica M to Sonnie adapter gives 4mm extra extension which I had forgotten
about. The 30 mm is what is really needed, so that doesn't work well. I also
would now need a new box for adapters to the adapters and be able to find them
in a timely manner.
