I purchased this to mount my FD lens' from my old Canon A1 to a new Sony A500 and they will not mount and fully lock into place. What is wrong?

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side. Hope this will help. Richard.

You might want to make sure you have the AF turn on both the camera body and the lense. They are two separate settings.

Hi the one I got actually got stuck in the camera and didn't fit right. We had to break the adapter ring to get it out and it almost damaged the lens.

The threaded metal part mounted to the case MUST rotate to secure it to the camera. If it doesn't , the case is defective. Force it. You have nothing to lose. Good luck.

Mine was the same way, thought I'd gotten the wrong lens. I contacted Olympus and they said it shouldn't be like that and to exchange it if I wanted. I didn't want to mess with it and it has become easier to put on and take off without making the mounting too loose for my other lens. It worked itself out.

thats wierd, it shouldn be tha way... depends what you are mounting i think, ive used it with the BMCC and rokinon lenses no problem... maybe check your setpup

Did u loosen the rounded thing where the mount is? U have to turn it to loosen and then slide the light into the mound on your camera and then twist it back down to tighten again.

I slide the lock and slip the front of the base-plate into the hook on the front (the opposite side from where the slide is) then press the base-plate down on the back (close to the slide). It has to go in at an angle and then the back goes down and when you release the slide it should lock into place. Note the base-plate is the part with the screw that normally goes onto your camera. mine shipped to me together, if yours did not then maybe you do have bad fitting pieces.

Make sure the lens is switched to A or AF and not M. Make sure it is locked into the smallest (highest numerical) f-stop setting (some lenses have locks some do not and some don't even have a setting ring). Make sure the camera is set on AF and not M. Take a Q-tip and alcohol and clean the electrical contacts on the lens and on the camera. If nothing works buy another. I got perfect D50s and a D60 for under $250.

I found trying to install these on my SX30 that the Threads are not an exact match. apparently Canon has their own thread pattern. I was however able to install them very carefully but only tighten them until they are just snug so as not to damage the threads on the camera or the lenses. You may be able to pick up an adapter at a local photography store to avoid this predicament. It will extend the view of the lenses and when zoomed all the way out, the corners of your photos will be "cropped in black as if looking through a tube.

Even pros can miss the simplest of things ( I.e. The lens cap is on!) But did you remember to depress the rounded metal tab of the macro tube that releases it from the body cleats? (or rails ? ). That's the only thing I can think of. I purchased the set for Canon so I can't be any more specific or lend any other option. Sorry.

I assume your lens has a canon mount. I would think that it would fit and work. However, I am not that well versed in this, so I will tell you how I handle all such related questions. I called Canon and asked them. They are the experts.I hope that is somewaht helpful.

I have had this happen a couple of times on my camera (purchased December 2011). I am not sure why it is getting stuck like that; when it happens for me, the whole camera freezes up. The only way I have found to "un-stick" the lens cover is to pop the battery out and put it back in, which seems to "re-set" things.

I should have added I am using the Sony mount, might be different for other brands.I am using on Sony A57, some shadowing with built in flash use.

I have a sony a57. t-mount fit perfectly had no problems. Had to learn how to operate my camera with a dummy lense.

Mine would lock in, but I broke the release lever because I thought it went backwards and not push down to release. I've heard that these aren't exact on measurements, a lot of people having trouble getting their lens to fit. I don't think that helps you at all, but for $14 I wasn't expecting much.

The problem I have is that the Fotodiox lens Adapter is locked onto my Canon lens and i can't remove it. I would appreciate some instruction on how to resolve this problem. I can't used my lens on my canon camera.
