rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 04/30/2018 10:30 am 7070 ok first are you using. a bellows or extension tubes with helicoid. I like a bellows myself. because I make changes on the move. 7070 tell me if you have any adapters at all. 1 I use nikon PB6 bellows so your nikon D7200 mount on that bellows. 2 lens end of bellows you will need a nikon F mount to m42 Adapter..https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-F-Le...72494109252. here is a link for the adapter 3you need and m42 to m39 adapter...NEW M39 to M42 Screw Lens Mount Adapter Step Up Ring Fit for Pentax M39-M42 Cam.. here is the link for this adapter. 4 ok so if you want to go by a helicoid here will be the setup focusing helicoid...https://www.ebay.ca/itm/M42-Lens-to...AOSwGYVW-jv7 here is the focusing helicoid 5 m42 extension tubes...https://www.ebay.ca/itm/M42-Macro-E...AOSwgeBadBT3 buy at least 2 sets of these tubes. 6 m42 to rms adapter...Adapter RMS Microscope objective to male M42 X1 adapter Flat without flange... I prefer this adapter later you will understand why. see with this type of adapter you can counter sink your objective. 7 I would recommend you buy a m5 objective. I will see if I can find rays link on ebay. 8 https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Adapte...AOSwNSxVekvZ here is a M4 which I have and surprisely it works very well. hope this gets you started Report this Post to the Staff
7070 Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 9:59 pm I have everything in the $400 dollar thread except for the Canon body. while shopping for the canon body, I started wondering what it would take to use my D7200 that what started this thread so it looks like I just need to get a Nikon-M42 adapter ? although the focusing helicoid sounds like a interesting addition Report this Post to the Staff
