M42 mount help

[Joeturner11]

Iam looking to get a M42 Mount ring for my Prinzflex 35mm f/2.8 lens to use on my Sony A200 for a project, I currently have to use a Carl Zeiss M42 Screw mount with a rear optic on it to achieve infinity focus range, the normally cheap jobs don't work with my Nikon Cameras, What type of M42 mount will I need for my Sony A200?

Cheers

Joe

This forum is for film gear, but maybe someone would know.

Any cheapo M42-Sony adaptor should do the job really, just depends whether you need infinity focus.

Just make sure it's M42-Sony A-Mount (As there's a lot more m42 to Sony-E-mount adapters around). You won't need any glass in these adapters to get infinity.

Joe, take a look at this one:

AF Confirm M42 Lens to SONY/Minolta MA Adapter

There are a lot of adapter rings, some have an AF confirmation chip, read the descriptions very carefully.
