This Fotodiox Pro Lens Adapter allows you to attach M42-mount lenses to your Nikon Z-mount mirrorless camera body. This adapter has a fully manual design, which does not relay electronic communication between the camera and lens, and maintains infinity focus along with the ability to use aperture priority metering. It's durable all-metal design also features chrome-plated brass lens and camera mounts to ensure a precise, no-play fit.

While this is solidly built, I cannot recommend it. My copy was a tiny bit loose on the Z mount end, but the worst thing is that for some reason they have added an internal ring that does not have enough clearance for the aperture lever of certain lenses such as the Takumar 135mm f/2.5. This results in the aperture lever getting stuck, thus you cannot change the aperture anymore while the lens is mounted on the adapter. In my effort to force it, I actually ended up damaging an otherwise totally mint lens, which gave me great grief. Be sure that your m42 lenses are not affected by this design flaw before buying it. Personally I'll be selling mine and getting a K&F one, which has been great for my GFX.
The fit and finish of this basic piece of equipment is excellent. My M42 mount vintage lenses are perfectly centered when screwed into place. It is very solidly built too. This adapter is worth the price.
