A Sony E to Nikon adapter then a nikon to m42 non-infinity adapter might get me there... or part of the way there...

I have an old M42 lens which I mount using an adapter on to a Sony e-mount mirrorless camera. I have vandalised butchered modified it to get a particular effect. This has worked to a point, but has also turned it in to a macro lens incapable of infinity focus. I should be able to get this back...

Thanks all for the suggestions

I'm looking for recommendations for a bag for a compact system camera setup. Most of the bags out there, even if physically small still have quite large compartments that would stash a mid sized DSLR with hefty zoom. Throw a Nex 6, Sony 16mm pancake or sigma 30mm 2.8 in there and they just...

This explains why Olympus Trip had to be downgraded to Ornament status! Thanks for the tip.

Cheers folks. Order placed.

I am looking to buy a flash as a gift for someone who is using an Olympus Pen epl-1. I don't know much about Olympus compatibility/features so forgive the daft question. I want something that: - works on-camera - has an 'auto' mode of some sort - will speak to the camera and adjust brightness as...

I never even checked the date of first post. I'm glad I didn't bother to write a full tutorial!

You may also want to consider Cyanoype printing. You only need a couple of relatively safe, inexpensive chemicals and an absorbent surface such as watercolour paper or cloth. There's no complex developing, just expose in sunlight, then rinse in clean water. You don't need a darkroom. A room with...

Cheers all! I went with Premier as they were the only one to have all the required items! (who makes 46mm filter thread lenses, honestly?)
