Depth of M42-Fuji mount adaptors compared to other brands

Hello,

I am currently adapting a Konica Hexanon 45mm f1.8 to Fuji X mount and the final piece in the process is obviously the adaptor to the X mount. The one tutorial video on YouTube about adapting the Hexanon 45mm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__alAfOcMs4 is to adapt to a Sony NEX and advises on using M53-M42 ring superglued to the back of the lens, an M42-M42 12-17mm helicoid, and then a 1mm M42 to NEX adaptor on the helicoid. I'm following all of this up to the last part, obviously. But when browsing M42-Fuji X adaptors, I find that they are all a lot deeper than 1 or 2mm, while M42 to other brand mounts can be that slim.

So my question is whether there is a technical reason for Fuji X mount adaptors being longer than other brands?

Thanks.

      Back on Page 4 of this thread is a brief excerpt about Coma Berenices. At the bottom of the constellation lies Messier Object M-53.

      This is the equivalent of an exposure that is a little less than 17 minutes. A Closer Look on a different day: This is the exposure equivalent of a little more than 45 minutes. NASA used the Hubble and got a pretty good shot of M53: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/science/explore-the-night-sky/hubble-messier-catalog/messier-53/ About Berenice: https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/coma-berenices-constellation/

      Blurred Screen

      Is it just the images? Or is the information (shutter speed, battery level, etc) also blurred? Do you mean the viewfinder? Try adjusting the diopter setting. Have you tried a factory reset? I'm not sure how you'd do that if the screen is completely blurred. It sounds like the camera is probably faulty, take it back to where you bought it for them to assess and repair/replace.

      Hello,  I’ve been shooting on my camera with no problems for a few months now. The camera is brand new. I turned my camera on last weeks & the screen is just a blur. You can’t make out any images. I’ve been searching how to fix but nothing seems to be working for me. Any ideas on what might be going on.
