Could this adapter _somehow_ fit with TAMRON SP 500mm F8 TELE 55BB ADAPTALL-2,which has bayonet 62mm (does it?!)? WITH a 52mm to bayonet adapter? OR other ways? Check my comments below.

Can't see any way the adapter would work with your Tamron 500mm mirror optic. The Kiwi adapter is intended for use with a wide angle or short telephoto lens converter that screws onto the adapter tube, either directly or by means of a step down/step up ring. The 500mm cat can only be used on a camera that offers true lens interchangeably.

Dear Mr. Ikkala,The adapter is really meant for an extra wide lens when the LX7 is set at 24mm. I use it this way with no problems with the image. I think that you may encounter problems adapting you tele. Your image may come out looking like a pinhole because the only way you can use this adapter is when the lens is set to 24mm.I hope that this helps.

You are going to get a massive amount of vignette with a 52mm to 3m step down. This adapter is for a specific camera, the Panasonpmic Lumix DMC-LX7 and it will pretty much vignette any adapter unless its within about 3mm of difference e.g. Common 55mm teleconverters from Olympus won't vignette but a 58mm canon adapter will. Your idea is not a good one.

The Kiwi Fotos LA-52LX7 Lens Adapter attaches to the Panasonic LX7 via a bayonet mechanism that is not mentioned in Panasonic's user manual, thus it is of unknown size (bayonet). On the other side, the tube is threaded to accept 52mm filters or adapter lenses that can use the 52mm thread. If you wish to add a telephoto lens that attaches to the camera via a bayonet mechanism of 30.5mm, it likely will not work out to well, as it will likely vignette. Whether a 52mm to bayonette adapter will work, that is unknown to me. Is such a device available?

Hi! I use the Fotodiox adapter on a Sinar P and it fits fine. The plate is a little too thick so it will be easier to mount if you file the top and bottom of the plate down a millimeter or two. You will see what I mean when you get it. Be aware that it works best with longer lenses, 150mm and up.

My canon T3i, with my 18/55 lens works perfectly with this attachment. The attachment can be used as either the Macro, or the Fisheye portion. Either way, to use it, screw off the protective back cover of the lens, and take off the cover of whatever lens you have on the camera. The attachment should screw perfectly on to the lens portion of your camera. If the pitch in the screw-on is damaged, or not the correct type, then it wont fit, and should be sent back to Amazon. These attachments fit on the existing LENSES...not the body of the camera (bayonet lock mechanism) itself. It will fit (screw on) whatever lens you have on the camera. I hope this helps! I'm enjoying mine, periodically, whenever I can get the time away from working:-)

I have the 2x Teleconverter from Tamron but i am not sure it is the same here. Mine is all black. I can tell you that I do use it with the same setup you have using a Canon 7D and the Tamron 70-200mm and it works just fine.

They give you adapter from 52 to 77 - i used the 77 mm but did not usethe 52mm but i guess these will fit the 52 mm. This items is cheap plastic. not a very good grade quality.

This only will work with the lens specified.I bought it but it did not work with my universal lens.The adapter itself is a nice piece of metal.Hope this helps.H.B

The first question that I would need an answer to in order to respond would be, for what camera is the Kalimar f2.8 - 200mm lens mounted? What camera does it originally fit onto? Once I know the answer to that, I can tell you if it will work for your lens and if not, I can direct you to the adapter that it will fit with.

I could not find the filter size in any of the Canon documentation. On a forum I read it is a bayonet mount, which means you need a converter to fit filters. The converter I found - which support my initial idea it has not filter thread, but bayonet: Filter Adapter FA-DC67A (Compatible with Canon 67mm Filters: Circular Polarizing PL-C B, Protect Filter). So with this bayonet-to-filter adapter you can use 67 mm filters. The adapter costs 22 USD at Adorama; 26.50 USD on Amazon, but you can buy a fake one of Bower: http://www.amazon.com/Bower-FA-DC67A-Adapter-PowerShot-Digital/dp/B0057G2TH4/ I would go for the Bower and then add a nice 67 mm UV and a 67 mm polarizing filter (if you like punchy blue skies).

I don't know about "any" Tamron lens, because I don't own any other Tamrons. My 28mm Tamron lens had the "adaptall" type of back on it, and I originally had a Pentax K adapter on it for an old film camera. This particular adapter fit like a charm so I can now use it on my Canon T3. As Paul Syms said, none of the automatic functions work, but for manual use it has worked very well for me.

Yes, you need adaptor rings to get up to 52mm to use the Raynox. They are bought separately. I find the Raynox works the best with the 55-210mm tele lens btw. 90 and 150mm approx..

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.

I bought a 67mm UV filter and a 67mm Circular Polarizing filter. I bought the adapter from Amazon but it was sold by New West Direct. This adapter does screw onto the camera body as Jo Art has said and works great. From the imprint on the adapter ring it appears that the adapter is essentially a 51mm-67mm converter. After buying it I wondered whether it might have been better to buy a 51mm-56mm or 51mm-57mm or even a 51mm-58mm step-up adapter ring and use some of the filters I already have.

Update: I have looked at various SMC Takumar lenses on Google images and now I think I have a better understanding of your problem. Not all SMC Takumar 50 mm f/1.4 lenses are created equal. My lens is of and older origin. I have seen in pictures of a another SMC takumar lens that seems to protrude more in the back. I think this is your problem. If you have the "Late" version of this lens, then yes is it may not work. You are going to have to buy a earlier version of this lens , around 1961-1972? I'm not a lens expert, but it looks like the lens that you do have will not work with this adapter, unless you take it to a machinist and have them widen the internal diameter of the adapter it sounds like. (It may not be much.) Pentax through out the years kept changing designs of their lenses like most companies to take advantage of more "Features" and "Auto" settings. Sorry you are having problems. I wish you all the best luck with this! Bryan

Hmmm... Not the one I bought... I purchased the adapter for NIKON (old school D70s)! BUT... According to Tamron, the tele-converters are compatible with Tamron lenses. Keep in mind that at extreme close-ups, focusing is slow and spotty - Especially in low light conditions. If you can live with that, then these are great! Remember to use a tripod for extreme close-ups. Movement is highly exaggerated especially with slower shutter speeds. Hope this helps!

It's a kind of filter. You can use it with any lens which has ring size = 52mm. No adapter needed. Good luck.

I believe this was sold as a fixed mount lens, not an Adaptall II lens, and it came in a Nikon mount. If you don't mind my asking, why do you need to use an adapter, are you trying to remove its fixed mount and convert it from another brand of mount to Nikon?

Nope, you would need an adapter for that. this fits 58mm lenses and comes with an adapter for 52mm. So you would need to find a 58mm to 62mm adapter
