Ah, sentimental journey. Had one of those in the 70's, made great pictures with an SMC Takumar 2/55mm on it.

thanks, do you know what adapter is needed to adapt my Meyer Görlitz 50mm f/1.8 to the Sony E-mount? It is threaded into the Praktica camera

Something like this on the cheap or a Novoflex if you want to spend the big bucks and get better finishing. Personally I'd go for the cheap adapters from eBay.

I have the same camera and lens.
My setup is odd for my Nex.
I am using my M42 to Canon EF to NEX adapters.
The M42 to Canon adapter has the lip, that pushes in the pin on the back of the lens, allowing you to use the aperture dial on the lens.
I use this setup for all my M42 lenses that have the pin on the rear of the lens.(auto diaphragm).
Works well.
My actual M42 to NEX adapter, same one that Ad mentioned above,works for my M42 lenses, that do not have the pin, but I will have to modify it, so that it works with my pinned lenses.
I will have to find an m42 to NEX adapter with the lip plate.

This is the adapter I am looking at, that will work with all my M42 lenses, and adds a tilt function.

This is a more basic unit, that depresses the pin, very straight forward.

thanks for the replies and suggestions.... those photos were taken with my A7RII and Loxia 50mm f/2 .... looking forward to use the Meyer Optik 50mm but will most likely use a Novoflex adapter.... German lens to German Adapter .... a match in photography heaven...
