Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter - M42 Type 1 Screw Mount SLR Lens to Canon EOS (EF, EF-S) Mount DSLR Camera Body

Came from USA, prompt service, delivered within timescale, does what it says on the tin, great value item in converting old lenses for use with DSLR for filming, well made.

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!

Well made and all my M42s focus a treat with this adapter. Excellent service from Fotodiox.

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!

Perfect adapter for installing the vintage lens to modern EOS cameras! I installed MC Helios 44-M-4 (fix 58mm F/2) and it works great! True EOS-cameras does not support jumping diaphragm and has to be set manually, as well, and focus)))

Earlier I ordered a few pieces of this black aluminium m42 to eos adaptor from foto-diox and all went well, very well, so well, that I decided to order one more piece, eg this item, and than all started to to turn out NOT well. The piece I received was a black aluminium one but had not, like on the photo, the flange for pressing the aperture pin. So I sent a complaint to fotodiox, who were so nice to send me a replacement piece. But unfortunately this piece, although it did have that flange, turned out totally different from the ones I had ordered before, and again differed from the black aluminium one on the picture. This replacement piece was of very heavy blank and sharp-edged ill manufactured metal, and had an absolute bad fit on the camera, damaging the mount, so it turns out UNusable. Made a complaint again to fotodiox, and now they want me to pay for the postage of returnsending and all the more keep open the possibility that they will judge that the second piece is "ok" and thus will not refund me. OK, I decided to buy at fotodiox coz previous were so good, and now foto-diox completely lets me down. All the faults on their side and my money gone for having two unusable adaptors. A one-star rating is in fact too much, well lets say one star for the fuzz ;-( FA

The worst ever product & customer support I've ever experienced. I bought 4 lens mount from this seller as I read a couple of positive review on the internet. 1. M42 to EOS & M42 to Fuji adapter Altough they are advertised to support infinity focus, they do not in fact. When I focus to infinity everything is out of focus. I had to reverse focus ring to make it focused. But I did not take this as a serious problem as it seems too minor issue 2. C/Y to EOS & C/Y to Fuji adapter They had much worse problem. C/Y to EOS did not work properly with Canon 5D Mark II. With focused to infinity, the mirror was stuck open after sutter release. I tried Canon 7D as well sometimes had no issue sometimes had same issue I also found light leak using C/Y to Fuji adapter. The light came through where lens release button located. So I contacted the seller and explained these issues. They told me to return the item and I sent back the item. No response for long time. I contacted again but they said the item not delivered yet. But I knew the item already delivered as I had tracking number. Contacted again and they said the item was under inspection this time. Another 10 days or so replacement for C/Y to EOS was delivered without any notice. However the replacement had same issue and I asked for refund for C/Y to Fuji adapter including return postage Here is their reply. "Hello We did check the adapter when it arrived back here, and found that it was not a flawed item. That is why the refund department did not refund you shipping in either direction. As a courtesy to you I will refund the shipping to the point of what we charged you to ship, and use that amount to refund a portion of the return shipping." They are GENEROUS enough to give me a courtesy of £3.48 in fact return postage costed me £18.55 as they are in US This is summary of what I experienced with this seller so please avoid this seller.

Fits well and is solid but unlike my M42 to E Mount adapters by Fotodiox, this does not activate manual aperture control on any of my 3 M42 lenses.

ótimo produto funcionou bem

Funciona bastante bien, lo utilizo con un lente Helios44-2 en una cámara Sony con un adaptador adicional de Canon, y no ha decepcionado en lo más mínimo.

Consiglio per il rapporto qualità prezzo, sicuramente la qualità e l'accuratezza è migliore dei soliti anelli adattatori che si trovano a pochi euro

Works perfect for hellos lens to canon ef.
