## Description

Product Description               Whether you're shooting digitally or on film, Fotodiox offers the world's largest selection of lens adapters. Mix camera/lens platforms or reinvigorate vintage glass; Fotodiox has hundreds of ways to mount lenses onto your DSLR or SLR camera. Our adapters deliver infinity focus, manual aperture control, and a sturdy build for lasting quality. This adapter allows Pentax Takumar and Zeiss M42 Screw Mount Lenses to fit on a Canon EOS camera body.This is a manual adapter, so lens functions that rely on electronic communication with the camera body (autofocus, AE metering, image stabilization, etc.) will be disrupted. Set your exposure manually or meter using your camera's Aperture Priority (stop-down) mode. If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, it will stop down to its smallest f/stop by default.Compatible Cameras (including but not limited to):1d/1ds, Mark II, III, IV, X, C, 5D, 5D Mark II/III, 7D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 60D, 60DaRebel xt, xti, xs, xsi, t1i, T2i, T3, T3i, T4, 300D, 350D, 400D, 450D, 500D, 550D, 1000DPlease Note: Actual product may vary slightly due to ongoing improvements in design.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can i use it on canon 5d mark ii?**
A: Yes, but most of us bought it because we can't afford a 5D Mark II.  You'd probably be happier with the $250-$300 active extensions, which allow focus and aperture changes with it attached.  (this cheap metal tube does not)

**Q: What will happen to the picture quality if the "inner glass" is removed? Also, whats the difference between this one and the other ones on the market??**
A: After much testing with Canon FD 300mm prime and Tamron 500 reflex. 2 inner lenses destroys the sharpness. Removing both you lose infinity on Canon but not reflex lenses. Keep the thick inner lens remove the thin one. Perfect. Except now MFD is a little greater. Not important. Sharpness! Remove both for all common reflex lenses still keep infinity.

**Q: Does this mount directly to the body?  I have a macro lens that I just bought but it is one the screws on to an adapter.  Will this work?**
A: It doesn't fit directly onto the body of the Canon EOS M. YOu will need the mount adapter EF EOS M. I bought this with the 0.43x wide angle macro lens 58mm that screws onto the front of my lens.  It dose not fit the wide angle macro lens that I bought with it.  The wide angle macro lens fits onto the front of my Canon EFS 55-250mm lens. I bought it so I would have the option since it is cheap enough and it gives different results. But since it is manual and it doesn't communicate with my camera, the EOS M sends out a message that a lens is not attached to the camera. However, if you can get it to work with your camera, you can get real close with your zoom lens.

**Q: Will this extension fit on my Canon Rebel t3i?**
A: Miss: Alyssa C.  My one and only experience has been with the Canon Rebel T3.  However, on 30Jan2014 I bought a wide angle lens for my T3. The lens was for a T3i.  It fitted just right.  It works great in photography involving flowers.

    Excellent customer serivice provided!
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2014*

There was problem with delivery .The item was originally ordered at the end of November last year , but it did not arrived as planned (that is until 10 of January 2014).Because of that I e-mailed Fotodiox , and they agreed to re-sent the item .Ten days later it was at my door.As for the adapter itself it even exceeded my expectations.Originally I intended to use it with a Canon 550D for which it was designed for (among many others digital bodies). Worked flawlessly with all my M42 lenses (Carl Zeiss Flektogon 20/2.8 , Flektogon 35/2.8 , Tessar 50 and Pentacon 135) .Then  decided to have a go at a Canon EOS 1 first series 35 film camera. Despite being officialy described as incompatible with the above model , it worked well with all the lenses (with a sole exception of Flektogon 35 but this is due to somehow lengthened section between m42 screw thread and the camera mirror - it simply hits that section while flipping).A very pleasant surprise! Thank you Fotodiox!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great value! Good quality!
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 July 2011*

I bought this branded adapter for reliability and quality of construction, rather than lesser quality cheaper ones.This adapter turned out pretty nice, with a quality metal finishing. The only thing that could be improved, and this is me being picky, is the small hole that stops the adapter from rotating loose: this hole is just a bit larger than the pin that fixates it, which gives the whole adapter+lens set a feeling of being a bit loose (which is not). I'm talking a fraction of mlillimeter here, but is enough for you to feel it.Other than that, it is of a great value because of what it allows you to do: use older and much cheaper prime lenses.Highly recommended!
