This is the M42-to-L mount adapter I used to get my Helios 44-2 onto the LUMIX S9. Once it came in the mail, it let me run the lens directly on the camera and chase that swirly bokeh look without any complicated setup. If you’ve got old M42 glass sitting around, this is the simple piece that makes the whole experiment possible.
Pros
- +Lets M42 lenses mount directly to L-mount (worked for my Helios 44-2 on the S9)
- +Simple, no-fuss way to use vintage glass
Cons
- -Doesn’t solve manual focus—vlogging with a Helios is still tough
- -Adapter quality can vary depending on tolerances
