Anyone found a better lens mount? Other than these magnetic lens type.

I have not. But I do not find the magnetic mount to be problematic when using the camera, just when I store it my camera bag and am willing to tolerate that inconvenience.

It is not any better other than it in not broken. It took quite an effort for my ring to get cracked. I have used the repaired lens with the plastic mount for nearly a year now without any issues. Good luck. (it was much better and cheaper than a new lens.)It took me about 1 hour to replace it. -- tiny springs and screws -- 7 screws if I remember.

There are MA to MD adapters on ebay but you'll be stuck with manual focus. It isn't likely to be worth the cost and hassle. If you are looking, what is it you wanted to do and at what budget?

Look into the metabones speed poster for Nikon mount instead.An FX lens is for full frame so there is a crop factor. The metabones coverts your lens to FX and also increases you F stop by one.

I do not carry anything like that, I am not even sure 3M makes anything like that, the closest thing I would have is a full lens reader, but only up to a 2.0. Such a model may exist, I just wouldn't have it.

Not 100% sure. The way you attach the lenses are by the use of magnets and a little pre-applied glue on the magnets.

I use a Sony alpha and that is the mount available. There is an adapter availabile for the NEx mounts. Check with Sony.

I did not observe the same. Although i remember reading about people complaints that magnetic field of the frame is too strong and it affects focusing. Frankly I have not been using it much because if you need to keep you camera in a case it is very inconvenient to remove and attach the Viewfinder every now and then.

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.

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 !!

Try to find a 37mm lens cap, if not possible replace with a 37mm UV filter, I use it, instead of the lens cap.

I am afraid there is no way. On A mount by using adapters you can mount e mount lenses

Ive used the Manfrotto 026 Swivel Lite-Tite Umbrella Adapter with a yongnuo speedlite & something similar to this CowboyStudio 43" Black and White Reflective Photography Studio Brolly Box. I dont dare put any more weight on it. I think itd honestly break.

I have a Nikon and auto focus works for me. If I remember correctly, Tamaron makes a lens with Canon mounts as well. I'd look into that.

I would recommend a macro lens instead of this... I have both and my macro lens ALWAYS takes better shots! And the macro lens was cheaper! I just got the one with a magnetic ring that goes on my iPhone! Hope this helped!

Yep. It works well. Since it's held on magnetically, heavy lens adapters (tele or w/a converters) seem to be barely held on, but for filters it's a great solution.

I don't use mine but as I remember I tried putting the little cord through the little slot on the side. That slot does not work. I think it came with an adhesive patch you stuck to the lens cap.--Scott
