Mu-43 Hall of Famer
I recently acquired a couple of M42 mount lenses and got an M42-m4/3s adapter; however, I didn't like the adapter, because it was of a much greater diameter than the lenses. So I ordered a couple of M42-M39 adapters and planned to use them with an M39-M Mount adapter that I have and then my M-m4/3s adapter (confused?). Unfortunately, when I got the adapters and put them all together, the registration distance wasn't great enough and so nothing could be focussed.
Bummer! Then I remembered that I had a Leica extension ring and when I placed all the adpaters together, with the extension ring, everything worked fine. So oddly enough, once again I was able to get the right registration distance with a bunch of somewhat unrelated adapters. The good thing about this is that the whole lot is smaller than the M42-m4/3s adapter. Also, the M42-m4/3s adapter isn't going to waste, as I can use this on a second set of bellows that I have.
All I can say is that m4/3s format never ceases to amaze me.
Cheers
