Correction: there are already adapters for Contax RF for modern systems, they are made by the Chinese. The cost is the same order as for the helicoid adapters for Leica M optics.
The only thing I regret is that the enterprising Chinese from Aliexpress did not start a wide production of helicoid adapters for the M39 / Sony E rangefinder.
The demand for Jupiter-8 (as well as Industar-26/61) would increase dramatically with a noticeable expansion of MDF.
And so it is necessary to remove 1 meter from MDF with the current mass adapters. And wind extension rings for a close shot.
Although there are Leica M / Sony E helicoid adapters plus a ring from Leica M to M39. But such a sandwich is too expensive for the average lover.
What? For a long time I have been using a bunch of M39-M42 + a helicoid with the desired length + M42-NEX thin to reduce the MDF of lenses with an M39 thread. In the review, Dokumar 38 mm used such an adapter.
Thank you! Looked at Ali.
Indeed, M42 / M39 helicoid adapters with a variable thickness of 10-15 mm appeared (there were no such thin ones before, they started from 12 mm).
And for moderate money (much cheaper than analogues for Leica M).
If you enter the thickness of the M42 / Sony nex adapter ring in 0,8 mm, then we get infinity, as required.
And the adapter ring M39 / M42 is known to everyone.
I looked at the thin adapter rings Sony nex / M42. Everywhere the Chinese indicate a thickness of 1 mm. Probably, to reach infinity, you will have to remove it with a 0,2 mm file.
