Is there any kind of play between the adapter and the lens or between the adpater and the camera body?

well, it's all metal, no other play rather than what you see on the photo. I think it's good for fun shots, I mostly use it with my Nikon's 50mm and it's good. The aperture change ring is a bit soft so you can mistakenly change the aperture without you noticing it . I believe of it's price it's worth it.

There can be. I returned this adaptor because it had excessive play, to the point that the lens would swing out of focus.

Don't waste your money on this. Read my full review talking about how the whole thing can be pulled apart with very little effort. Dangerous with heavier lenses. There is literally nothing holding it together. Check out Novoflex or even better, Metabones adapters. Higher cost but high quality. I own three of these good ones for various systems after initially "saving money" on the Fotodiox adapter. :(

It does okay at first, but mine fell apart during a shoot. It is just held together with a glue I believe. I had to send it back

No you will need an adapter. Depending on where you get it from the lens may be sold with the adapter

Thank you for contacting us. You may use an old lens with the item you are inquiring about as long as you use the correct adapter to connect the two.

No, because the camera already has the Minolta type shoe. So you don't really need the adapter.

From my experience, it depends more on the camera than other things. If the lens barrel of the camera extends when the camera turns on, the adapter may not work very well. Maximum theorectical distance between the tripod mount screw and eyepiece lens is about 2 1/2 inches.

If other adapters work on your camera then I'd guess that there is something wrong with the threading of the adapter.

The adapter doesn't change anything. The camera does, if you're going to an MFT format.

No, the adapter is wider. You will have to buy a larger (58 mm, I believe) lens cap.

Im confused...so will the adapter ring allow me to attach actual camera lenses, for example, a fisheye or a 52 mm lens etc etc???

I see no problem, but I leave mine attached to lens. If anything, sand could get trapped in adapter. Lens is supposedly waterproof.

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.

I don't know about that. But I have not liked the way it fits over the lens. Wish Nikolai would have made the camera lens in a way that you could put a protective lens over it without the adapter. If I have thought about this I would not have purchased this for my 12 year old photographer.

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...

With adapters, one must be sure the camera is set to "Release without lens". This is found in the settings menu. If that does not work, I have no suggestions.

Many thanks for replying. Have just ordered an adapter ( cheaply), as I only wanted the lens to play around with. Lesson learnt ; Hubby cannot buy lenses without me knowing what he's paying out for !!

Position the adapter correctly to fit/place it onto the lens without any tilting. With the camera/lens facing away from you, turn the adapter slightly to the the left side (not right side) until you feel like a click and stop then you are all set. The adapter will stay in place.

Not is a problem, is normal. Adapter complete is for telephoto (extended lens). Half adapter, without final part, is for wide angular (compressed lens). Tunnel effect is present if you use the adapter without this considerations
