Very old news It was reported as being discontinued
by Ricehigh on the 4th July and I think I mentioned it in
a post on here shortly afterwards. The original news
came from a dealer in Japan.

I'm surprised they allow the cyclists to elbow
one another

They shouldn't let that 80 year old guy on the moped/durny
enter any Olympic cycle races..... he can't stick
the pace and always drops out halfway though

I suspect the Novoflex 42mm thread you had was a T2 thread which is 42mm with a 0.75mm pitch. It's quite common and can easily be confused with M42.
No it's definitely 1mm pitch x 41.2 to 41.3mm.... Never thought about it before, but 1 5/8" is 41.275 so it's possibly that

The camera end screws loosely into a camera, but tightens up
OK and if I remove the lens end and screw it onto the camera
end it's a really nice fit. Just seems strange that considering
Novoflex did their own M42 lenses that they would make two
products that were so close but that's German Engineering
for you

I've fitted an M42 plate on the lens end.
