Schneider 21-1072600 V-M42 Lens Adapter

V‑M42 lens adapter (Schneider part 21‑1072660) is a lens mount adapter made by Schneider‑Kreuznach designed to let you mount lenses with a V48 proprietary mount onto a standard M42 × 1.0 camera or accessory thread.

🛠️ What It Does

• Mount Conversion: Converts a V48 mount on a Schneider lens (typically from their industrial/video/line‑scan series such as Xenon or Emerald lenses) to an M42 × 1.0 male thread so the lens can be attached to cameras, helicoids, bellows, or other optics that use M42 screw mounts.

• Effective Length: ~8.5 mm mechanical extension when used between the lens and camera mount.

• Mount Types:

  • Lens side: V48 bayonet from Schneider optics

  • Camera side: M42 × 1.0 screw thread (standard “Pentax” style)

📦 Typical Uses

• Industrial optics adaptation: Use Schneider industrial lenses on hobbyist/photo gear with M42 mounts.

• Machine vision & research: Integrating specialized optics into custom imaging systems.
