I cannot get this on either of my lenses. I have a Vivitar 28mm f/2.5 and a Pentax 50mm 1:2. Any suggestions?

It is a tight fit, if you are able to turn the ring keep going until the spring metal tab catches the bottom indentation on the lens.

The tolerances are very small on these; they are tight. Are you sure you are applying enough force? Additionally, are you sure you don't have M42 screw mount lenses? This adapter will not work with those lenses.

I also had trouble at first. There is a metal tab on the interior of the adapter that you have to push in to get it to "lock." You may need to use a small screwdriver to hold it down while placing it onto the lens. Once it's on you'll know.

Try attaching the lens adapter to the lens before attaching it to the camera. I have kept mine on my Pentax 50mm lens to be apart of the lens itself.

May I ask what lens you went with? I am debating the same issue. Thank you.

Don't know. Did you adjust horizontally, the lens housing separates in the middle.

Hi, not sure where the problem would be - I have it on the D90 and it's one of the best lenses I have in my bag (actually, it's not much in the bag ;-) ) ... what is your concern?

I believe it is a faulty lens. My brother has a t3i and has had no such issue. You should try the lense on another camera before returning though.

On all of the canons I have owned it works this way:There should be a rubber piece around the eyepiece. It usually slips off by pushing it up. Take that piece off and slip this lens in its place. You won't need the rubber piece anymore.

You have to use the correct metal ring, included in the kit, for the lens to connect properly. All of the rings do not work, so look them over carefully and choose the correct ones, put the others aside so you don't get them mixed up.

There is a lock somewhere outside the lens near the body. This might prevent you from changing the focal length.

Theres a ring that comes off. Its been a while since ive used mine but you may need to screw on ring to lens first then add the lens adapter. Or try with out the ring? Also it only fitd on my kit lens. Check thread size

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.

There are a number of things that could be happening. . . . is it blurry image, or camera shake. . . have you shot anything that is sharp. . . this is a very heavy lens and requires a bit of expertise to handle. . . . let's eliminate the obvious before jumping to conclusions about the lens. . . . my email address is bobglicksmith@me.com. . . send me an email and I'll be glad to setup a time to talk with you . . . . bgs.

There's a little tab that locks the adapter onto the lens. You can see it engaging if you look while connecting the adapter to the lens. The first time I tried to connect, I bent the tab trying to force the adapter and the lens wouldn't lock. I had to bend the tab upward with pliers so it would engage the lens. It was all good news from there.

Yeah, it doesn't affect the pictures at all you're right. Sometimes it's annoying when I'm trying to use my 50mm prime, as I have to manually focus that and the blurry line doesn't help.I called Nikon also and they said I could ship it to them and they would look at it. I'm slightly worried to do that because I'm afraid they'll do something to screw it up worse. I guess I can live with it. If you send yours in, could you let me know if they actually fix it by replying here?

Hey Aaron, common mistake. What you need to do is set the actual aperture on the lens ring to 22 and the lock it on that value so that the little red line aligns with the 22. This happens because you are using an older non focusing lens on a newer body. Problem solved. Have fun, that is a fantastic lens.

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...

HI Marie. It was hard at the beginning, but it worked at the end. I too thought something was wrong! Keep trying to screw it to the end of your lens, eventually it will connect and screw properly to the lens.

There is a metal tab that clips the adapter to the lens when rotated. It's a bit tricky, but you have to hold the clip up while you rotate the adapter off of the lens. This may be really difficult if it's a snug fit. You may need needle nose pliers to compress the tab far enough.
