Lens Compatibility
If your M42-mount lens has no aperture pin, tabs, or levers; or if it has an aperture pin that does not fully depress (small tabs stick out), it is considered a type-1 lens and this V1 lens mount adapter is compatible with it.

However, if the aperture pin of your M42-mount lens depresses all the way down, your lens is considered type 2 and is compatible with V2 adapters (available separately).

FotodioX M42-NIKF-PRO-V1 Reviews

No infinity focus

The adapter does not allow infinity focus, which upon a little more research I learned is not possible without optical glass when adapting m42 to Nikon F. That's fine for some uses, like if someone wants to use this for macro purposes, but that should be more clearly stated in the product description.
