How do you remove the adapter from the lense itself? It appears the screw is blocking it.

I can't say that I've ever needed a reason to remove the adapter. I would have to take a look but it was very easy to connect to the lens so I would imagine just as easy to unconnect. It fits snug and really has brought new life to old lens. It's one of my favorite in the bag now, I highly recommend this adapter if you have the old lens.

I wish I could help you..don't recall having that problem! Carefully examine the buttons that you depress to rotate it. But I'm at a loss as to the screw.

I unscrew the screw. Because in order to get the screw on the otherside of the metal tab that controls the aperture, I unscrew the screw, hold the tab with my finger and screw the screw in so that the tab catches on it. Then reverse it to take it off. I don't know if that's the proper way but it works and doesn't damage anything.

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.

hello kyle, pressing the two tabs that are on the side of the adapter ring and then rotating counterclockwise.I hope my answer will be useful.regardsAldo

I'm not sure but pushing in the release screw just causes a tiny pin above it to retract, releasing the lens. You might be able to do the same thing by pushing a paperclip or thin nail into the hole where the release screw goes

The problem I have is that the Fotodiox lens Adapter is locked onto my Canon lens and i can't remove it. I would appreciate some instruction on how to resolve this problem. I can't used my lens on my canon camera.

There is a small lever that releases the pin that holds the adapter to the lens. Its not the strongest so handle with care.

Be careful ! I just purchased a bayonet-to-standard filter thread adapter to allow me to protect the open end of my lens ( It is a 105mm Series E ); and fit a filter on this. I now find that it is jammed on and I cannot remove it ! If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful ? Phil A

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.

Position the adapter correctly to fit/place it onto the lens without any tilting. With the camera/lens facing away from you, turn the adapter slightly to the the left side (not right side) until you feel like a click and stop then you are all set. The adapter will stay in place.

The lenses pop right out. I think I remember using a small flat blade screw driver. Unplug the old and plug in the new. It's been a while but I think I had to tuck the wires back in just right to get the lens to snap in.

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

One thing you can try is to heat up it and unscrew. If it doesn't work, wrap it with something to protect the threads and use a pair of pliers to unscrew. If top of the adapter is high enough than 3/8 screw, use a kind of blade to use it as screw driver, using two notches. I hope this would be a help.

The adapter is made of metal. I will have to measure it tomorrow. It fits easily between the the lenses and screws into the threaded bolt the holds the lenses together at the pivot point. If the screw that attaches the mount to the binoculars was a couple of threads longer would make the mounting better.

Use the Allen wrench provided with kit loosen screw in adapter put adapter on camera tighten screw down not to tight though or you could ruin both camera and adapter

My adapter ring had threads to screw into the end of the lens. You have to be very careful, so to not cross thread it and ruin it while attaching the ring. But mine screwed into place and has been very useful. I keep the UV filter on all the time, so I don't scratch the lens.

Yes, it can be tricky to remove. Unlike top-quality filters which are well machined metal, the adapter is plastic and flexes when gripped. The trick is to not grab it on both sides as you normally would but to grip the edge of the ring between your thumb and forefinger and very gently rotate it. You might have to grip it in two locations using both hands but what you are trying to do is grip it in a way that doesn't squeeze the ring causing it to expand and bind on the lens threads. If you have one of those rubber sheets used to open jars, you might be able to just place the sheet on a table and then place the lens filter-ring-down on the sheet and rotate it as an alternative method.

I have never seen an adaptor with additional screws. The ones I have used screw into the lens and receive the filter on the outer diameter with screw threads that match the filter's

When I got my lens the adapter was already attached. its a tiny ring that easily twists on & off

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?
