How big of a flange do I need for a M42 lens?
The flange focal distance is how far the sensor or film plane is away from the camera mount. This distance is large in SLR cameras because of the mirror. F-mount lenses need a flange distance of 46.50mm. That is larger than the 45.46mm needed for M42 lenses.
Is the M42 lens as sharp as the 35mm lens?
You may find that an M42 lens will be less sharp than a lens designed for your sensor. Remember, if your sensor is half the size of 35mm film, then any lens has to resolve twice as well within that area to be as sharp at any given enlargement.
How big does a F mount lens need to be?
F-mount lenses need a flange distance of 46.50mm. That is larger than the 45.46mm needed for M42 lenses. The larger distance means that M42 lenses will not focus to infinity when adapted to the F-mount.
