I recently purchased this lens Meyer Optik 135mm 2.8 claimed to be in M42 mount. So I purchased a m42 convertor from K&F concept on amazon. However, it seems I cannot make it fit. Can anyone tell me the correct adapter to use?

I was able to remove some rings also. Attached are the pictures of the mount.

Thanks.

That's a bayonet, so definitely not a m42 screw mount.

 

According to this page:

 

http://vintage-camera-lenses.com/meyer-optik-gorlitz-orestor-2-8-135/

 

it has either an Exacta mount:

 

Selens Exakta EXA lens to Sony NEX E mount adapter NEX-5T 7 6 A5100 A7 A7R A6000

 

or a Praktina one:

 

For Praktica PB Lens to Sony NEX-3 NEX-5 Lens Mount Adapter Ring high precision

 

Judging from the pictures and from this other page:

 

http://vintage-camera-lenses.com/exa-exakta-mount-adapter/

 

my guess would be an Exakta mount.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
