This adapter went on to my FD 200 f 2,8 with no problem. But now I can't get it off. Anyone solved the problem?

Let me see. Well, just pull down the tinny bulging screw gently, if it doesn't work try to pull it up.

Slide the the little silver button towards the camera. This will release the mount from your lens.

I have found that when I have had difficultly removing something that uses the threads on a lens or other filter on the lens, wrap your hand around the end of the lens for several minutes and use the heat from your hand to expand the lens or protective filter. Then try to unscrew the adapter from the lens. I have used this technique to remove my polarizer several times when it has been difficult to remove. Remember that the threads on the adapter are plastic and very fine and can be crossed easily. The adapter does not need to be tight to hold the weight of the light ring. Good luck and enjoy the macro world. It is amazing what you can see.

Hi, the knob on the side is a lock pin that you use to release the lens from the adapter (just added safety). When you want to remove the lens hold the lens and adapter vertical and push the knob straight down. Easy as that. Does that help?

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.

Went on a trip with my new D50 and it stopped working after 5-6 pictures. Showed an error message. When I got back home I decided to read the book. Seems the lens slipped out of F22 to F16. Rotating the F-ring back to F22 fixed the problem. Ignorant me. Since then I try to only purchase lenses with a little snaplock on the f-ring. Problem solved.

No. I purchased the adapter and nothing happened. It's a great deal for the price. Hoping that some wizard figures out how to make it happened!

the adapter attach to the body of lens, not in the lens. use a "allen key" (not included) and fix perfect for P520 model, they came with a inner ring that pressure the adapter, not the screw, so not damage the body. detach or atach its easy but take a little time, so the better way is let the first part of adapter in the camera and buy a lens cap 67mm to protect de lens. sorry for my bad english

I am sorry but I have not experienced a problem with the adapter. I would think Robinair would be able to help. Sorry.

ADAPTER SEEMS STUCK? OK, this is easy (unless you've already forced it and broken it off.) As already noted in the comments, The silver button on the adapter SLIDES towards the camera and that releases the lens. It doesn't push in as you might think.

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.

I don't know if this helps, but , did you put the filter cup in properly? The only way I know for it to get stuck is if the handle of the filter cup and the orientation of the cup is wrong....I'm afraid that the only way to get it out is to pull until something gives.......wish I could help more

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.

I have used the adaptor with 50mm f/1.2, 85mm, 35mm, 16-35mm,24-70mm, 100mm, 70-200mm and 100-400mm and it didn't make any noise. The problem could be you're having a defected adaptor or damaged lens contacts. In general, the adaptor works perfectly well.

I have never had that problem. My lens adaptor screws on and off as easily as any of the filters I use. The only guess I can make is that the threads with your adapter were defective in manufacture.

No. I tried and found the adapter is different. I'm wondering now if the adapter can be taken off and replaced sometime when the sldr adapter becomes available.
