T-mount / T2 (M42×0.75) to Sony E adapter thickness
A glassless T-mount / T2 (M42×0.75) to Sony E adapter must be about 37 mm thick to keep a T-mount / T2 (M42×0.75) lens focusing correctly on a Sony E body. This equals the T-mount / T2 (M42×0.75) flange focal distance minus the Sony E flange focal distance, both published mount-design constants, reviewed 2026-09-12.
How this is computed
Using the T-mount / T2 (M42×0.75) flange-to-sensor distance as a one-component train against a backfocus target equal to the Sony E flange focal distance (filter correction off), BackfocusLab's own model reports the spacing gap between them as the required adapter thickness.

This is illustrative arithmetic, not a substitute for the manufacturer's own adapter specification; small machining tolerances exist. A dumb, glassless adapter only forwards the mechanical mount; it makes no claim about autofocus, aperture control, or electronic contacts, and a nominal fit is not a compatibility guarantee. Verify against your camera manufacturer's published specification before ordering.
