I cant get thge reflector/bulb to mount correctly inside the lens housing. The bulb works when I just hold it but otherwise, no dice under the lens c

I had to rotate the large spring a bit and apply a lot of pressure while screwing the lens on. It does not fit perfectly but it is good enough to use as is.

You can take the spring off the bulb, or you can use a drill press and drill out the lens housing. There are videos on YouTube that show both options.

If you are using the reverse mount, you are mounting the lens backwards. This means there will be no electric connections to the camera. You must set your lens to manual and adjust the focus and exposure manually, otherwise it will not work. Which lens are you using? Did you attach the ring to the front of the lens glass or the cameras lens mount?

Check to see if the bulb housing is seated properly on the slot. You can also replace the bulb only with the original housing which is the best fit .

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 give the 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.

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.

All i did was screw it into a light fixture and it rotates on its own inside the bulb. If your's isn't rotating it may be broken. :o(

I know what of you unscrew the rock guard, the lens of the light pops off. I can not answer as to whether the bulb is interchangeable tho. Sorry. If you try this, be sure to place the rubber gasket between the housing and the lens properly. Good luck.

I had and have the same problem with 2 of my sensors. One I was able to correct by changing the orientation of the bulb insertion. The other I have just accepted since reinserting the bulb did not work

It was a little confusing for me as well. Just place your hand behind the center of the outside plate (on the outside), and then with the other hand push the round spring loaded plate back to meet with your hand. This springs down and around the socket. Then the bulb should just screw in. Mine works great. Love it. Good luck. Steve Bullock

I had one that looked like this. To get to the bulb, squeeze the lens by using a knife on the long side. Just a little pressure is all it takes. The lens is the translucent part. On mine the bezel is the outside part and is attached to the internals. On others you pull on the bezel but not on mine. If you get a lot of resistance, stop pulling on it. It may be like mine which can't be pulled off without a lot of damage to the plastic parts.There were no springs.

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.....

I don't know since my lens works fine, I have not had to send it in for repair. Sorry, I can't help you.

Garry, I haven't run across this problem with mine.....This may sound silly, but are you sure you have the correct X-Tender for your particular flash? They come in different sizes for different flashes. Other than that I don't have any suggestions except maybe be sure your Fresnel lens is facing the correct way.....Sorry I can't be of more help.

When my grandson thought his light wasn't working I discovered that the lens was not aligned properly and thus was hiding the light. A small twist and there was light This may not be your problem but it's worth checking

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.

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side.Hope this will help.Richard.
