Hey Guys, anyone faced issues with this adapter ring during Macro Shooting Mode? is the adapter ring sitting too close?

No issues. Just took a bunch of macro mode shots of stuff to sell and had the filter on. Didn't have any problems.

No issues here of any kind when using this hood. I also have a 49mm B+W filter always mounted on it, since I don't use the lens cap. No issues.

Yes I received mine a week ago and the lens crashes into the filter; not just in macro but any time the camera struggles to focus. Reading online apparently the lens can protrude a little when focusing causing the crash. I think I got a lemon so the adapter ring is going back.Update: nevermind I'm just a dumbass. I had accidentally assembled it in the wrong order. All is good and focus works fine. Since it is possible to put together backwards it makes me wonder how many of the focus reports are just user error.

I don't think you can get close enough in macro mode for this adapter to be an issue. I've not had any problems in shooting things in close, yet.

The adapter does allow you to use the full function of the Canon lenses. The mount was some what loose and could possibly loose contact with the pins. This is annoying and was the reason I returned the item. I heard that some people received a better fitting adapter that did not have the play I experienced. The Canon version does not have this issue. Quite a price difference but I really like the Canon one better because of the fit issue.

!Careful! with this adapter you lose autofocus, stabilisation, and aperture control!Apart from that, it will not create a black circle.

I wish that I could help you but I had bought the Adapter as a gift so I have never used it myself good luck. I can tell you though that my son is using the adapter with his Canon SLR and likes it's performance. H.kulik

the adapter ring has a thin strip of plastic that reveals a glue surface that permanently attaches to your camer. the ring contains a thread into which you screw the filters etc. for my purposes, the filters and lens hood seemed to obstruct the lens at wide angle depts and i was not crazy about the permanent gluing of the adapter ring to the lens, so i removed the equipment and have not used it.

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be.I returned mine for a refund

There is an adapter ring that must be screwed on to the front of the lens - it's a little tricky to get it to stay there. Once that is on you can screw on any of the filters. I only use the uv filter, mostly as protection from dust and scratching. There is a lens cover that fits over the added filters, but it is sometimes more trouble than it is worth, especially when I want the camera ready for quick shots. I have not used the macro filters at all, so can't say anything about them, or the polarizer or fluorescent filters either. And I couldn't make the rubber hood work - it shows up in the photos as rounded edges.

The threads are very fine...start by turning the threaded section in the opposite direction. This action lines up the threads, then screw the adapters, lenses on as usual...Thats what worked for me...

The problem is the ring interferes with the lens barrel when it's fully retracted. Zoom it out, attach the ring, then when it retracts it will not quite go in as far but will still work. I hope this helps you out altho I dont know if there is much of a loss in focal length, decide for yourself.

Well, I don't use a light ring, but LIGHT is pretty important unless you're in the sunlight or bright daylight. I did get a light ring but it was far too bright for macros. So if you could find a nice gentle light-i'd go for it. Otherwise, plan on inventing some other light source. Unless, as I said, you're in daylight. The lens doesn't shadow the subject the way the macro built into the camera does. You can get far enough away that you won't leave a shadow. Hope that helps.

I shot with the plastic ring in and out and must say if you not too worried by the look, having that plastic piece out is so much better. If you still getting this funny cloudy shot try turning on your light before you shoot. I have noticed a significant improvement with the subject already light up than the burst of flash. remember these devices are not designed to shoot so well in low light. Hope this helped.

This does not sound normal.i had a tokina 11-16 on a nex7 with adapter and worked fine.try checking the lens on another camera just to make sure the problem is consistent.

I measured the attaching thread, the Macro is 12.82mm & is required for Wide. I don't know how good they work together. Macro is for close-ups & wide is for wide or big pictures. hopefully it wasn't just a convenient way to adapt the 13.8mm wide lens to the mounting 13mm hole. I just got the 'Camera FV-5 Lite APP' from Google Play .. it looks awesome, even has a stabilizer, picture timer for sharp pictures, for shaky hands.

What size of the reversing ring did you buy? If you bought the ring with 58mm threads, that won't work with the 50mm 1.8 lens because that lens has a 52mm filter size. The macro adapter screws onto the "normal" end of the lens where you would usually attach a UV or polarizing filter. Then you flip the entire lens around backward and attach it to your camera body so the lens is mounted to the camera with the side that usually faces the camera now facing the object you want to photograph. But you have to buy the reversing ring that has 52mm threads for that lens.

Mine is perfectrly 'tightened', focus ring fits perfectly and it runs so smooth! Only 'problem' that I notice is the 'noise' during IS activation. But, it turned out that Hybrid IS is such noisy. If there are problems, maybe you should thing about returnig product?

I did not have any problems I use case with adapter ring + filter + the larger lens cover. I have been useing this protective cover for over 30 days now on daily basis still very happy with my purchase.
