Wow... I'm trying to do the same (although with an german slip-on hood) but I cannot find a 37mm to 42mm adapter. Anybody with a spare one?> Just got yesterday what is the smallest M42 Takumar I've everowned ( & I own ALOT). The 1959 vintage 35mm F3.5 Auto-Takumar. This has a semi-automatic aperture and is so small the filter size is 46mm! Way cool. http://jcoconnell.com/temp/spotat3535.jpgIt reminds me (hood and all) of the time I mounted a 1955-vintage Asahi-Togaku 58/2.4 (with tiny 40.5mm filter threads) on an LX -http://www.cetussoft.com/pentax/5824lx2.jpg
How does this lens perform?
