The Zykkor fd to eos adapter won't fit onto any of my canon fd lenses. What am I doing wrong. I can not get it to seat!

Strange issue. It fitted on all my FD lenses, including a Vivitar lense. I recomend you to consult the instructions manual or ask online to the manufacturer.

Forgot one thing. On the adapter's flange, there is a small gap. You can line up this gap to a guide on fd lens, then let the guide goes through the gap before turning the adapter clockwise.

True if I recall there were no instructions that came with it. But it's not hard to figure out how it suppose to work. One part goes into the camera and the other end accepts the EF Len's. Remember it is only going to work manual no auto features what so ever.

Does the adapter have markings on that says it for Canon Does it say on the adapter Canon (AF)/FD if so it is the correct one from Zykkor and on the box it came in say Canon FD Lens to Canon EF Body Mount Adapter.

I have encountered the same problem and almost thought about returning it. Be patient. It seems that you could not mount your fd lens to the adapter. It is easier to mount fd lens onto the adapter before installing fd lens+adapter to your camera body. There is not mark or dot to line up, so you have to use your eyes. Visually line up the flange of the adapter (on the side with a screw) to flange rail of fd rail. Ensure adapter's flange goes underneath fd lens's flange rail, so a lens can be held firmly onto the adapter. Then turn the adapter clockwise to lock. Good luck.

Hi! Fit the adaptor to the body first; make sure its locked..then mount the lens. Be careful to line up the marks by loosely turning the lens over the adaptor otherwise, you can snap the pins that control the aperture in the lens. The adaptor WILL NOT FIT FL lenses, just FD...It you are having issues with mounting the adaptor to the body, over the work LOCK on the adaptor is a red dot. That the matching point to the body..Hope this helps!

Funny you should mention that! I got the converter for my (Canon Mount) Sigma DG 70-300 mm lens. The converter fits the camera nicely but t didn't fit the Sigma lens! Waiting for an answer from Sigma. I can tell you this: if the lens element closest to the camera mount is flush or protrudes from the lens it WILL NOT fit the 2x converter.

Aaron D. Locke has nailed it - get an adapter. They have some here on Amazon that are available with Prime. Be sure to read the reviews. BTW, I use my husband's old FD lenses from his AE-1 on my micro 4/3 camera, and I'm enjoying them greatly.Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter, Canon FD Lens to Canon EOS EF, EF-S Mount Camera such as EOS 7D, 5D, 60D & Rebel T3Opteka Canon FD (Manual Focus) Lens to Canon EOS EF (Auto Focus) Body Mount Adapter with Optical Elements Aaron D.

As far as I have been able to determine there are no adaptors for canon lenses to nikon cameras and I'm told that the nikon lens to canon camera adaptors have horrible glass in them making a good lens basically worthless.

Im sorry I can't help you. I returned the converter because it would not fit my lenses> It was compatible with my DX 3200. It was the lenses that was the problem.

Yulia, I have the adapter for Canon, works fine. It's a relatively loose fit with the cable going to the front of the camera, but it does work.

Make sure to select CANON MOUNT and not NIKON MOUNT, for canon EOS cameras...

Beware of the Neewer brand,Gnarly*. I got one for my a7r and caused some bad flare on the image...you might be better off getting the Fotga brand, 4 of the adapter I got works w/o issue.

It fits all EF lenses, but it doesn't work for me. If it does work for anyone, could you please share with others how you accomplished that??

My older Canon (about 1970's vintage) had FD lenses but needed an adapter in order to fit the Tamron Lens. The TAMRON adapter is named Adaptall 2 for Canon FD.Unfortunately it will not interface with the Fotodiox adapter designed for Sony "E" lenses and Canon FD. I just tried it!

Hi, unfortunately Canon has created a new mirrorless lens mount standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF-M_lens_mount). They produce an adapter for the EF mount standard which works best with EF-S lenses (x1) and ok with EF lenses (x1.6 due to the sensor size). If by "F mount" you FD mount then you could try buying an EF-M to EF/EF-S mount and buy and FD to EF lens adaptor (search for "fd to ef lens adaptor" on amazon) then use them together. I have not tried this and would interested in the results.Cheers,JP

I just bought one for my Rebel T1i and there is no way to mount it on the camera. It does not have the right connecter!!!

I think the adapter is intended to adapt the new 'M' series lens mount to the other standard Canon lenses. I use it to enable me to use my Canon EF and EF-S lenses on the EOS M. Works very well for that, but the rebel, to my knowledge, is not compatible with the m-series of lenses.
