LAUNCH VIDEO AND INSTRUCTIONS By Mark Holtze
UPDATED NOTES: ZEISS JENA lenses will require infinity calibration after installation. This is only on Jena lenses.
FEATURING PROLOCK SYSTEM: No more unscrewing of the M42 Mount from the lens (Disclaimer: Only for Pentax SMC Takumar. M42-LPL conversion is compatible with all M42 mount lenses. However, the PROLOCK feature will only work on Pentax Takumar SMC. Please watch the video explainer above.
CAUTION: This is NOT PL. This conversion is for LPL. Please know the difference between LPL vs PL before purchasing. An LPL converted lens will NOT fit PL cameras.
Say goodbye to cheap, flimsy adapters and say hello to the SIMMOUNT LPL Conversion Kit!
Designed for precision, functionality, and durability, our LPL Conversion kits will allow you to make the most out of your existing collection of M42 lenses. The SIMMOUNT System allows you to mount native M42 lenses to any LPL ADAPTER or LPL-mounted motion picture camera. State-of-the-art CNC construction ensures a tight fit while maintaining infinity focus and proper functionality between camera and lens.
For Pentax Takumar SMC M42 lenses the system also has the added benefit of the ProLock system to prevent the lens from unscrewing in use (this feature only works with original Pentax SMC Takumar lenses with a locking pin and does not work with older Pentax Takumars or M42 lenses from other brands). To hold the lens into place a clever submount is fitted with a rear locking tab that fits over the Pentax lens’ pin. This is then secured with screws and fitted to the LPL mount part, which again has more screws for security. Once installed the Simmod M42-LPL conversion system provides a robust connection between lens and camera body or Simmod LPL lens adapter. No play, no wiggle - just a positive lock.
The SIMMOUNT System is made of high-quality industrial BRASS and anodized in matte black to reduce glare and reflections.
