Selecting the Optimum Lens Adapter

The camera's scope of delivery does not include a lens adapter. It is needed to attach a lens to a
camera. You must order a lens adapter separately as an accessory.
The optimum choice of a lens mount adapter depends on the lens and on the resolution of the
camera model. The recommended combinations of lens adapters and camera models are indicated
in the following table:
Lens Adapter
C-mount
F-mount
M42 x 1.0
M42 x 0.75
M42 x 1.0 FBD 45.56
M58
