Suhkoi~~~

I try challenge this type of ppicture last few day end terrible ly


Still need try and error

ahh...much better this way bro...

u need to be in total darkness or nearly total darkness or else it wont work...

wow this is beautiful! Where was this?

Btw any one here try any m42 manual lens on alpha camera before?

Hand itchy want try

Alpha as to A6k?

I have a Zeiss Jenna Tessar 50mm f2.8 . Works great but getting the lens setting to home at infinity requires a bit of calibration.. I ignore that .. Now I switch to Contax G Zeiss with autofocus adapter.. much nicer.

Nope i mean a mount camera like a37/57/77/99

I have tried M42 lenses with my my old A200 before, specifically the Jup9 2/85. My advice, stick with the bayonet mount MF lenses (ie. everything not M42 or M39) unless you wanna dedicate 1 adapter per each M42 lens.

Why? Once you get the adapter on you'll have a near impossible time trying to get it off the lens.

As for good lenses, Konica/Rikenon and Minolta is good and cheap, though prices should be a bit steeper now thanks to the Nexes and the A7.

I'm having a much better time on the A6k now when it comes to MF though, as I can use my old Nikon glass now (which I couldn't with the A200). These include the Tokina 3.5/17, Mir24m 2/35, Kalienar-5n 2.8/100 and Nikon-S Auto 1.4/50. There's also a Minolta MD 1.4/50 and that old Jup9 (which is still pretty much stuck to an A-mount adapter).

All works fantastic on the A6k, except the Mir which is has fungus a bit and the Minolta which I lost the adapter for (but will buy a replacement as I prefer it to the Nikon-S in terms of bokeh).

Sure, we lose in body stabilization with E-mount bodies but oh well.

Carl Zeiss Flektogon 35mm F2.4 MC DDR, an M42 lens, on my A700.


Focuses to 19cm close. Not sure if it did, in this picture.


This was probably at 19cm.


Bigger shot showing that Zeiss look.


This was the Zenit Industar 61 L/Z 50mm F2.8 Macro. Tiny, tiny lens!


I also have a Peleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye, originally in T-mount, with an adapter to M42. M42 lenses can be adapted to A mount without using any glass - it's just a plain metal ring, and retains infinity focus.


Left to right: Peleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye in M42 mount, Minolta 50mm F1.4 (in A-mount), Jupiter-9 85mm F2.0 in M42 mount.


Jupiter-9 85mm F2.0, on my A900, I think.

I have to say though, that the era of fun with M42 lenses on A-mount bodies has long passed since we can find auto-focusing variants now for cheap, that have much better optical quality, e.g.:

Peleng 8mm F3.5 - too wide, use Samyang 8mm F3.5 instead
Zenitar 16mm F2.8 - not wide enough on APS-C, use Samyang 8mm F3.5 instead
Any 50mm - the Sony 50mm F1.8 DT SAM focuses closer!
Any 50mm F2.8 macro - the Sony 30mm F2.8 DT SAM is wider for APS-C
Jupiter-9 85mm F2.0 - the Sony 85mm F2.8 is autofocus and sharp wide open
Carl Zeiss 135mm F3.5 - nothing in that range, but 135mm is a bit long for APS-C

Note that I say APS-C because M42 lenses back then were mostly budget options for APS-C users, even though all M42 lenses were full-frame compatible. On FF though, the Peleng/Zenitar/50mm/135mm all make a lot more sense, but by that time you might already afford a better lens.

Finally! a dedicated digital MF Zeiss lens for the FF e-mount! Welcoming the new Zeiss Loxia family.

IMHO, they're a tad slow at f2 but at least they're relatively tiny because of it. But, if they're sharp wide open, it wouldn't really matter.

Anyways, I just discovered another awesome feature that my old A200 did not have that the A6k does (and it works pretty darned well too): the pop-up "bounce-able" flash.



The room was pretty dark, as it was after all a mushroom cultivation chamber. And yet that tiny pop-up flash does quite well being bounced off the walls and cellings - especially considering I usually only shoot in portrait orientation.

It's not perfect, but for something that comes built-in, I'm pretty impressed.

anyone know how to turn off the "auto cropping potraits" in gallery ? everytime i take a potraits, it will auto save another copy, a cropped one... so irritating.

go to menu and search auto portrait framing setting and off it
