[QUOTE=JA;1595922]Not that they are useful to you anyway, but even the M42 lens to Fujinon camera adapters you found are not the the correct THREAD PITCH. M42 Lenses are M42 x 1mm pitch threads, whereas you need M42 x 0.75mm pitch to suit your ZWO camera and most other astrocams.

Thanks JA

I am aware that there is a difference in thread pitch and that does make for more complications in adapting lens to cameras. It would be ideal if there was a standard 1mm pitch for all photographic and telescope gear, would make life a bit more simple for us.
It may be a case of removing the female bayonet mount from the old Fujica camera and afixing that to an T42 adapter somehow. May not be worth the trouble though as I have other lens options anyway.
Thanks for your input everyone, most appreciated.
