I promply got the adaptor stuck on my camera. Is there a trick for removal? I tool? I hesitate to apply force to my treasured 6D!

There is no tool to unscrew the adaptor. The only thing I csn think of is when you mounted the adaptor was you did not mount it correctly aligning the marks. You should mount the adaptor to the lens first then to the body.

One of mine became stuck on the lens and I worked it loose using slow but firm pressure. With the lens still attached to the adapter, you might have a little more leverage. A camera repair person might anchor the camera in a vice and dislodge the adapter with a screw driver and hammer...but VERY, VERY carefully. It's not something I would try unless you are really comfortable around tools. Wish I could be of more help.

It can be very snug. Make sure you are pressing the release on the body (you will see a pin retract). You could also try pushing it towards the body while you try to turn it. I filed down parts of mine, but this was for an AF error on the 1d mark ii n.

Victoria first unscrew the lens from the adapter, then pressing the lens release button and then turning adaptor counter clockwise to remove

Does anyone else have problems getting the card in and out of the adapter? Mine got stuck in the adapter. needed to use tweezers to get it out. Is this my problem or the cards?

hey mate I got an canon 1100d , which is mostly same built as 6d.. the dongle join by the tripper port on your camera , so it should work perfect. I believe that other trigger cables work the same on the 6d as well as my 1100d..the app runs off your phone that controls the dongle. there is presetting to do first with the app ,but is easly to work out.

I haven't removed the adapter. I've kept it in place underwater without the lense without any problem at all.

No adapter needed. 6D takes the same lenses as my 7D, EF. Just get the EF mount lens.

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.

There is a small lever that releases the pin that holds the adapter to the lens. Its not the strongest so handle with care.

I have the same problem. I just received Canon lens adapter for Canon S3IS. It doesn't fit. There isn't any way to attach it.

i had the same problem it's a little push lever just push it towards the camera and it will come off.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

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.

My set came with an adapter that solved this issue. What camera model are you using?

There's a tab that locks down onto the lens preventing you from "unscrewing" the lens out counter-clockwise. If you look at it you should be able to see what I'm talking about. You can use your thumbnail to push that tab up and rotate the lens counter-clockwise to release it from the adapter. Hope that helps.

On my lens there is a ridged release button on the lens just next to where the red line-up dot is on the adapter. Push down on the button and turn the adapter. It should come right off.

Mine got completely stuck and I had to take them to the camera store to get them removed. I don't want to damage my beautiful new camera, so I am only using Canon batteries from now on.

It is not removable. And you don't want it to be, it adds much needed support when you put the camera down, otherwise the heavy metal lenses put strain on the camera. Always hold the camera at the adapter.

just pull it out, there's a hole right above the camera. Stick it when a pen or just use your nail
