You turn the lens clockwise (as you face the camera) to remove it from the fotodiox (while at the same time pulling the little tab towards the camera). I usually remove the whole rig from the camera first and then take the fotodiox off the lens if I want to use different one.The fotodiox mounts on and off the camera just the same as a regular lens does- clockwise on, counter clockwise off.

Hello hello Rmauma...!The Little push-button on the side...is working...like the release-button...on your camera...Push it In...and turn the lens...same way...as your normal lenses.If the button...or the adapter is stuck...Perhaps try...to twist the adapter...just a fraction...in both directions...while pressing...on the button.This can givethe Little locking pin...enough room...to Work.Now take the lens...with the adapter...one hand on each...close your eyes...and let your hands Work...Hope this will help...Greetings...Jakob.

If the release mechanism doesn't work properly and it is stuck, be VERY careful. I damaged two lenses with a cheap adapter that was not machined properly. Take it to a pro if you are not good at working on things.

I don't know, because I've only used Nikon lens caps. The only suggestion I would have is to order it, providing you can return it if it doesn't fit. One advantage of a Nikon lens cap - if you use a lens hood - is that, because of the cap's pinch mechanism, you can put it on or take it off without removing the hood. Sorry I can't help you any more than this.

It is possible to remove the shade yourself (see Youtube videos), but looks very risky. I returned the original one I purchased and instead bought the version that already has the lens shade removed - I use mine underwater with a full frame camera. So, if you have not already done so, this is my recommendation! I have been very happy with the lens.

Hi Kayla,I try to share my experience if it can help you. I bought this adapter few months back so I can use my Spny alpha lenses on my Nikon F mount. It seems you Need to open up on the adapter to allow more light into the sensor. Notice the 7 white dots on the adapter? Try to turn to the darkest dot. However it seems to allow some light leak into the picture and it is not easy to turn it to the dot and stay there. Seems the barrel moves back to white dot so I use slow tap to keep it in place. Rather sloppy.What do you mean by horrible? Do you mean the image looks darker? I hope it helps. Hi Kayla,I try to share my experience if it can help you.

There's kind of a notch on the back, right below where the triangle is pointing to. In that notch is a silver tab. That tab has to be pressed down, or moved to the side. That will lift the tiny metal cylinder that locks into the lens and holds the adapter into the lens. I have a few different types of adapters, and they're all a little tricky to get off. But once you understand the concept of lifting that tiny cylinder up, it's not too hard to figure out how to remove them.

It's separate. The led strip comes out of your old lens and goes into the camera lens. It's not hard but just be gental because it's fragile.

You don't. At least I've had no luck taking them off when this happens. You now have a lens that is "married" to that adapter.

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

Hi, I was not able to use this even on my Nikon. The distance between the lens and the adapter was too great to be functional. I ended up returning this item and buying a used bellows and slide copier on eBay. Hope this helps.

The manual says: "Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at one end of the light lens. Carefully pry the lens out." I would use a rag of some kind of padding between the lens and the housing when prying. Good luck!

I believe there are 2 screws on each sides. Once you get those off, the lens should come off.

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.

There's supposed to be a little lever on the camera side of the adapter. In my experience, though, this adapter has very shoddy assembly and there is a single screw holding the lever to the adapter. I've observed that this screw can come loose under normal use and the lever can fall out or stick out at an angle that can make it get stuck on your camera body (I had to damage my Canon 6D to remove this adapter eventually!). If the lever is missing, you need to use a small tool like a steel dental pick to manually lift the plunger that goes into the Nikon lens mount locking hole. If you're considering this adapter and have yet to purchase it, I highly recommend you find something else. This adapter has caused me lots of problems (stuck on camera, started leaving metal shavings inside the camera body, etc). Fotodiox customer service ignored my email about the metal shavings.

the adapter ring just screws onto the threads on the end of your camera lens.... think of it as a flashlight... sometimes they get threaded wrong.... face the camera lens up.... lay the adapter ring on top.... make sure ALL IS EVEN then carefully without much force turn clockwise until tight... don't over tighten and your all set to then your all set to ad your new lens.... in the same manner.... hope this helps..... I had a lil trouble myself until I faced the lens up.... its a problem because the threads are so fine and they want to jump the track and go the next thread down.... which makes it come out weird... the adapter ring just screws onto the threads on the end of your camera lens.... think of it as a flashlight... sometimes they get threaded wrong.... face the camera lens up.... lay the adapter ring on top.... make sure ALL IS EVEN then carefully without much force turn clockwise until tight... don't over tighten and your all set to then your all set to ad your new lens.... in the same manner.... hope this helps.....

It took me a while to figure out, too, so hopefully this description will help you. So, the lens on the camera has a black ring around it. That has to come off in order to put the adapter on. The first time I took it off was a little hard because I was afraid of breaking it or something, but once you do it once, you'll have no problem doing it again. There should be a point on the ring that sort of juts out a little bit. You have to use that to sort of twist it off. It might help if you put a flat knife or something underneath to get a good grip, too. Just see what works for you. But once you get the black ring off, you can putt he adapter on, you just have to make sure that all the points line up with the grooves in the camera. Then it should snap into place, just the same way the black ring on the camera was. Once the adapter is on the lens just screws right in. I hope that helps...

Gnarly, this doesn't work for Nikon lens. It's for MD/MC minolta lens. Look for something like nikkor/F to e/nex mount adapter(s).
