Lens Mount Adapter Ring for Canon FD Lens to Micro Four Thirds M4/3 Olympus Pen and Panasonic Lumix Cameras
SKU: KF06.091
This adaptor is of good quality,fits the lenses well,but there are no instructions whatsoever on how to attach it to the lenses.It was initially a very frustrating purchases,as I could not figure out how to fit the lenses to the adaptor.Even You tube videos did not make it clear. I very nearly threw the adaptor away in frustration and anger.It was only after many days searching the internet that I found the answer on the Photo.net forums.Which is that,' The raised red index button on the outside of the lens must be aligned with the red dot on the flat circular plate on the back of the lens (i.e., the plate in which the various aperture levers are located). If these are not aligned on your lens, rotate the inner portion of the back of the lens counterclockwise while pushing in the chrome lens lock button. The back of the lens should click into position when the red index button and red dot line up.' Had I not found this information I would have thrown the adaptor away,and moved away from Canon lenses altogether.

Am happy with it, well made and does what it says. Have put old canon 50mm manual FD lens on my Panasonic Micro Four Thirds Camera. My only negative is I keep accidental moving the Lock > Open by rotating it and it makes the lens go full aperture. Is not to big an issue as I am aware of it and always keep checking it.

I picked up some earlier Canon FD lenses very cheaply and wanted to experiment with mounting them on my Lumix G80 4/3 rds camera. The FD lenses are 'mechanical' so there is no electrical connection possible between the camera body and the lens in fact, you have to tell the camera body that you are "shooting without a lens" (it's in a menu option) therefore the purpose of this adapter is simply to provide a mechanical/physical connection between the body and the FD lens. What this means is you set your camera to full manual mode, set the aperture on the lens barrel and focus manually using the lens, all great fun and this adapter works very well.

The item looks well made and arrived a day early.Please be aware that all 42mm threads are not the same. This item has a 1mm pitch.There is another 42mm fitting called t2 that has a 0.75mm pitch.I have ordered the wrong one for a Soligor lens.

Great adapter. I had an old Pentax 42mm screw end. This kit worked perfectly to fit it on my new Olympus pen epl7· It looks well built and solid. very happy looks solid. Maybe they could have included some screws to secure the lens.
