Helicoid adapters aka macro adapters, have been around for decades. They made a comeback about 15 years ago when mirrorless was first floated.

[ftlbaby]

Totally agree! I use the DLX Stretch to adapt Canon FD lenses to Sony and Mamiya 645 lenses to Fuji GFX. Makes a massive difference to the close focus distance for intimate portraits. Bought the first one in 2020... will eventually get the Leica M to Sony.

[FlyingJackalope]

Wish they made these for PL lenses. The idea is great for not having to use diopters with Anamorphics, etc.

[matt_phistopheles]

I use a similar adapter for Leica-M to Fuji-X from 7artisans and on top of that I mount several Vintage to M adapters for my old lenses. So in practice I only need one expensive adapter to adjust close focus and infinity on all my vintage lenses. Stacking adapters works great and it saves a lot of money as the simple mechanical ones are usually pretty cheap.

Fan from Malaysia. Just want to say thank you for your videos. Because of you, I've rediscovered and found new ways to enjoy and experiment with photography. Especially with vintage lenses and now, an adapted projector lens. Keep up the good work and God bless you.

3:40 of course, it's 65cm or 0.65m

[noizzzZZZz]

I used to have NEX - Canon FD adapter with helicoid on my A7ii and while it was kinda flimsy it was really nice to use with Canon FD 17mm f4 to close up photos. Now I have modified it to have Olympus Mju-1 lens on it. Works great! (I used a faulty Mju-1 to get the lens.)

[cameraprepper]

I want an adapter to analog Lenses that can write EXIF dato to the photo images, so a simple chip you can write to via USB-C from a computer or a phone, it will be so very nice to know which Lens (focal length) and aperture I have used !

[adriancrespo]

I’ve had one for a couple years and the concept is lovely, in execution I found after a while the heliocoid can get a big stiff & it wears out pretty easily, i wouldn’t get it as my only adapter but it is fun to mess around with!

[alexgsproductions]

Looks really fun! Just wish there were more X Mount options

[just_eirik]

This would be nice to have with the Canon FD 135 2.8. I’ve used an extension tube with it and it performed so well! Even wide open it’s really good! So if I could use this thing instead and not have to take the extension tube off every time I want to focus to infinity, that would be so nice!

[chuckmoser]

An M42 to Canon FD adapter is available. I have both Canon FD and M42. The use of minimal adapters makes my choice of lenses to carry a lot easier.

[FredCDobbs]

Substitute M for CM and you'll be alright. All of your measurements are sub 1cm (10mm).

[selkiemaine]

Cool! Shame they don't have a variety of them for my RF mount. I'd love to have one.

[sclogse]

First response is..most Fotasy adapters (usually about 11 dollars and free shipping on ebay) are thick enough to be at least the thickness of this helicoid when extended. Extension rings are easy enough to get for my Fuji X camera that either communicate the lens electronics for Fuji X lenses or don't for vintage glass. I have a set of three Meike extension rings. What I see here is the closest focus with the helicoid and the furthest by not extending the helicoid. What we do want is an extension ring as thin as it can be so the vintage glass still focuses at infinity. Or at least the moon .

[bagus]

it's like extention tube for macro

[savinggracechurch]

And to further extend the possibilities is to reverse mount the lens.

[DethronerX]

Noticed these on their channel some days go and I cant wait to get some for different cameras. Really cool that you tried it on various mounts. It goes another level and this would make stop motion more fun and give it that edge it needs.

[philmtxfr]

I think we understood the concept. Very useful for M lenses which due to limitation of range finder capabilities are usually limited to 0.7m mfd.
