E and EF Lenses PDF MANUAL
<<<< Additional information
not in the manual: >>>>
I just wanted to point out
that not all Mamiya M42 lenses are safe to use with the P adapter for the
Auto-XTL. If you attempt to use the SX type lenses with the Auto-XTL P adapter,
the aperture sensing pin will dig into the P adapter face since it is not
perfectly flush with the outer surface edge of the SX lense.
Furthermore,
since the entire moving surface of the aperture ring of the SX lense comes
to rest against the P adapter face, it will lock down the aperture control
of the lense and make it impossible to turn, therefore preventing SX lens
f-stop manipulation.
Mamiya M42 AUTO lenses seem to be safe
choices as are M42 Yashica-Yashinon, M42 Meyer-Optik and M42 Zeiss MC Sonnar
(S) lenses. Any aperture ring that rotates at the extremity of a lens should
be avoided. Of course the SX lens works perfectly well with the "ZE" P adapter
for Mamiya ZE series lenses which it was designed for.
Lenses with
Auto and Manual switches like Zeiss MC Sonnar work well with the Auto-XTL
P adapter in conjunction with its Auto Aperture pin. Lenses that have
no Auto Aperture and only manual control of aperture appear to work
equally well like Meyer-Optik Orestor M42.
