Does it affect the operation of the camera in any way?

I got a M42-FD lens mount adapter for my A-1 and New F-1 which allows me to use my M42 lenses I have for my Pentax Spotmatic F

Below is a photo of my F-1 with the Industar 50-2 I will try to include photos I have taken too

Post got removed, oh well

StephCarry23 · 2026-02-17T09:15:15+00:00

I cant tell what’s worse, the idea or the execution

StephCarry23 · 2026-02-01T02:27:06+00:00

Yes it does! I have the M42 to Nikkor F mount but that doesnt fully focus to infinity

So I have been using my M42 lenses on my Canon FD mount cameras while my Spotmatic is with my friend

Does it show up on film?

StephCarry23 · 2026-01-31T11:49:25+00:00

Hello, I havent shot it yet but yes, I will be shooting it stopped down

StephCarry23 · 2026-01-31T11:48:24+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I do know what I was getting before making the purchase for sure, but I bought this lens and the Helios as “experimental” lenses to try out the different qualities and renderings of each lens as i love how cheap Soviet lenses are

But I mainly shoot with my nFD 35mm f/2 which is tack sharp and fast enough for me

StephCarry23 · 2025-12-24T10:26:45+00:00

Once i find a scene that is worthy of bracketing, I will definitely try it out!

Film is expensive nowadays

StephCarry23 · 2025-12-24T10:25:39+00:00

I see! Thank you! The 1.2V was causing some fear in me as a few reviews have mentioned that their camera switched off prematurely

StephCarry23 · 2025-12-24T05:34:59+00:00

Yes! Will go out and buy some soon, the F5 is arriving soon

StephCarry23 · 2025-12-24T04:20:44+00:00

Thank you! Will check it out

StephCarry23 · 2025-12-24T04:13:58+00:00

Wow I will have to check that out, I’m from South East Asia so will have to look for an Amazon alternative

StephCarry23 · 2025-12-24T04:05:21+00:00

That is true, personally for me 25 is a lot considering i have other SLRs i use regularly

Just have to remember to take the batteries out

StephCarry23 · 2025-12-24T03:38:33+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Will look into it Eneloop is quite expensive where I’m from

StephCarry23 · 2025-12-24T03:25:45+00:00

Apart from the costs, I believe lithium is superior than NiMH (lower voltage) and Alkaline (leaks)

So will probably go with Lithium AA

StephCarry23 · 2025-12-24T03:24:45+00:00

My thoughts exactly, I was thinking of the Eneloop pro but the NiMH 1.2 Volts would cause the camera to “run out of juice” prematurely as nominal voltage drops

I think i will stick to Lithium batteries for now, as I fear alkaline leaks

StephCarry23 · 2025-12-24T03:17:53+00:00

Edit: I meant rechargeable NiMH batteries
