I have the other adapter with infinity glass and it works well w my old yashica 50mm but doesnt depress the aperture pin. Will this work for aperture?

Yes this will depress the aperture pin on most common M42 lenses including the Yashica 50mm you refer to (I have that lens and have tested it with this ring). This being said there lenses out there with different aperture pin placements or mechanisms. You will however lose infinite focus with this adapter as it has no corrective glass in it. I assume you are using a Nikon camera in which case the sensor distance is to great to preserve infinite focus. since Nikon has never changed there mount (or at least not in many decades) you can also use older Nikon lenses from any Nikon SLR film or digital. Nikon made a 50mm 1.8F lens for many years that is more or less the same as your yashica and can be found quite easily.

Not for me. I tried to use old (1970's) Asahi/Takumar lenses on a Nikon camera and unless it is a sunny day, or inside auxiliary lighting is very good, I cannot open the aperture for enough light even manually.

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

Hi -Yes, this adapter accepted my EF-S lens just fine. Be aware that the mount is really tight on the lens mount. You have to pull the circular knob towards the lens to release it. It took me a few tries to get used to it.

This only works for the three new types of Sigma lenses which includes the ART series, the Sigma Sport series and the Sigma Contemporary series. This dock WILL work for the (50mm F1.4 DG HSM /A) as it is part of the ART series but I believe the one you have is the older version and not the ART series lens so it would not work for your lens.

From my experience using this adapter with an FD 50mm f1.4, the corrective lens causes a soft edge, or "bloom" effect at F-stops faster than around f2.8, creating an unusable image. Im not sure how the difference in focal length will affect it though.

If the mount is an alpha mount then yes, once again please refer to my other post about this product. Biggest tip here if you don't feel like researching more - zoom lens are horrible for the adapter because minolta(sony) has their equivalent (image stabilizer) in the body whereas Canon in the lens. So unless you have a surgeons hands or using a tripod all the time your images will blurr.

This adapter works on 4/3 to make MD lenses usable on any 4/3 camera..........I have one Fotasy and one Fotodiax.......both work well so that I can now use all my lenses that fit the Minolta. However only in manual mode........I believe its best to put the camera in "A" mode and you set the aperature.....

I can't give you any advice on that. I was looking for an adapter for a Mamiya camera lens and what I tried did not work (as I was told before I bought it).

I use this adapter with lenses that already have aperture rings and it works just fine. You just need to keep the aperture on the adapter open all of the way. It might be beneficial to just go ahead and buy this adapter instead of a passive adapter in case you want to invest in newer canon glass.

No. It's just a manual adapter. I haven't found any good adapters for using FD lenses on EOS cameras. It's too bad as there are some great lenses out there. There is someone on youtube that makes special adapters but only for certain FD lenses.

Hi, the adapter is held by a magnet to a thin metal ring that is itself attached to the lens with 3M adhesive.The inside diameter of the ring is 32mm, and the outside diameter of the ring is 37mm.If your lens has this clearance for the adhesive surface to stick on, then it should be compatible.Make sure that your lens does not intrude in the barrel when retracted (powered off), otherwise your adapter attachment will pop off.

The adapters are actually for an SD card and a USB connection. If your camera adapter has a USB end, then it should work just fine. I have a D50, a D3100 and a Fuji point and shoot - I have never had trouble with any of them. I actually prefer to use the SD card adapter, to me it's just easier. Mine has not had an issue reading SD or SDHC.

Thanks, what about using the adapter for EF lenses? Would this work or does the adapter only work with original Canon lenses?

Hi D. Miller, Ithink you mean Pentax smc A 50mm f/1.2I had one of those. Beautifully sharp. Yes, I think it will work. Keep the camera in A or M modes. Some adapters have the PENTAX side a little hard to disengage at times. so attach it first then the camera side and when removing do the opposite. Camera first then the lens.Hope this helps.

I use mine with my X-E2 and Nikon AF-D 60mm micro. The fit and finish of the adapter is excellent. The only issue is how it makes the camera front heavy, since it moves the weight of even the lightest lenses away from the body. But that's inherent in all adapters and adapted lenses, and not a knock on the product.

Iv'e actually bought two of these and gave up because they where the wrong ones. I think your looking for this one, it has the glass in the middle which to my theory helps. When i put the 50mm FD Lens on my Canon T1i. It was super macro and jank. So the one with the glass is key i think. - Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter, Canon FD Lens to Canon EOS EF, EF-S Mount Camera such as EOS 7D, 5D, 60D & Rebel T3

It is really hard to tell whether it is the adapter or the lens itself. The images I have taken so far are reasonably good. I am using Vemar and Mamiya lenses from my film days. If the old manual lenses you have are of good quality you are likely to get good images. There doesn't seem to be any drop off in light transmission. This adapter has a single, clear piece of glass in it so light loss, if any, should be minimal.
