Yesterday I bought old Helios lens 44-2 with M42 mount. I got that from a guy for 10 dollars. Mint condition, clean lens, no fungus. It was a bargain.
So, I need M42 adapter. I have found two versions of adapters, with and without glass. Second one suposed to be for infinity focus. But, people are saying that sharpnes and overal image quality with adapter with glass element is really bad when using infinity.
So, let's say that I buy first one, without glass element, it's around 5 dollars here where I live. Can that Helios in any point of using break mirror in body of dslr? I'm using Nikon D5200 (yeah, manual meterning, hoorey), and I'm afraid that I will damage mirror when I start focusing. What if I accidental turn focus ring to infinity, is it going to touch mirror, or even damage it?
Im not familiar with that kind of mount, so any help will be appriciated.
