m39 Adapter

[darkness2505]

Hi guys,

I am wondering if any of you can recommend a m39 adapter for the GF1. I recently purchased a Pixco one from Hong Kong, but the screw thread is not aligned properly as when my Canon 50/1.4 LTM is mounted, it sits at 12 o clock rather than the usual 1 o clock if you know what i mean. It's not like I cant shoot photos with it, but just wondering for any better fitting alternatives.

Thanks

I found a similar situation with my own M39 adapter. With mine there are three very small screws placed radially around the outside of the adapter body. Loosening these screws with the aid of a very small watchmakers screwdriver enables the inner section of the adapter to rotate and the lens can be correctly orientated before tightening the screws. The inner section does not move in and out as it were during this procedure so the lens remains the same distance from the sensor. I used this to correct the orientation of Voigtlander LTM lenses on my mft cameras when mounted with this type of adapter.

Thanks, I see those little screws on my adapter as well, I will try it out when I find the screwdriver.
