are you able to actually control all the apertures of the lens FROM the adapter?

Yes, if your lens has an aperture ring. If the aperture is controlled by an internal camera mechanism, you're out of luck.

The lenses I use all have an aperture ring so I don't use it. Not sure if a lens without would engage. Certainly I have no aperture control from my alpha7. The adapter ring only opens...if the lens ring is f8, you can only go wider on my lenses.

The only lens I use with this adapter is fully manual, and has its own aperture ring which functions as it would on any Pentax K-Mount camera.

No, you can,t adjuste it. In fact you will see the photos with the circle frame of the lens with the complete zoom out.

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.

Yes... *BUT* there is no automation here. No data pass-through to let the camera communicate with the lens and no way for the camera to adjust the aperture. You will be able to use it, but unless you have a lens that will let you adjust the aperture manually, you'll be stuck using it at the highest f-stop/lowest amount of light setting.

It does adapt the lens but the features of auto focus and aperture will not work. I did not find it to be useful to use my old lens with the Canon camera.

NO. Warning, i still can't use the lens... The sealer's made a mistake and send me the wrong adapter!!

Yes, we can adjust shutter speed, but I am not sure about aperture. I have never been using it.

I don't know but I don't think that you can do anything but manually focus with these lens babies... they are not designed to autofocus so there is a bit of a learning and experimenting with them till you get the look that you want....each aperture ring gives you a slightly different look... so you have to know where to direct your focus.. and that has to be done manually....

There can be. I returned this adaptor because it had excessive play, to the point that the lens would swing out of focus.

Yes, this lens work, but you need a adaptator and this lens work totally manual

!Careful! with this adapter you lose autofocus, stabilisation, and aperture control! Apart from that, it will not create a black circle.

Yes, this adapter allows for manual aperture control over that lens on your body while you have the lens reverse mounted.

You have to use the "manual" setting on the camera when using the adapter. All other camera settings are non-operational. I don't know what kind of lens you are using with the adapter, but with a fixed f-stop lens, you have to change your iso setting in the camera to compensate for light conditions. Hope this helps!

Many thanks for replying. Have just ordered an adapter ( cheaply), as I only wanted the lens to play around with. Lesson learnt ; Hubby cannot buy lenses without me knowing what he's paying out for !!

I know that it is possible, but I don't know how. I even bought a adaptor for my sony alpha 330, but i didn't know how toget focus.

I haven't tried to do so, but I believe it's possible. As someone else said, you probably need the lenses made specifically for the camera
