FAQs

Will autofocus work with this adapter?

No, this is a manual lens mount adapter. Autofocus and other electronic functions are not supported. You will need to focus manually.

Can I control the aperture through the camera?

No, aperture control is manual. If your Contax G lens has an aperture ring, you will adjust it directly on the lens. If the lens has no aperture ring (some G lenses require camera control), this adapter may not be suitable for aperture adjustment without the original camera body.

What is the benefit of using a manual adapter?

Manual adapters allow you to use vintage or specialized lenses on modern cameras, offering unique image qualities, creative control, and the ability to explore different lens and camera combinations that wouldn't otherwise be possible.

Does this adapter support infinity focus?

Yes, the adapter is designed to maintain proper flange distance for infinity focus with compatible lenses and cameras.

How do I clean the adapter?

Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the camera mount and lens mount surfaces remain clean and free of dust.

What cameras are compatible with this adapter?

This adapter is designed for Fujifilm X mount cameras. Please check the specific camera model to ensure compatibility with the X mount system.

What does the 'plant 5 trees' initiative mean?

For every Urth adapter purchased, Urth funds local communities to plant 5 trees in areas impacted by deforestation, contributing to environmental restoration.

Troubleshooting

Adapter is difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the camera mount or on the adapter. Gently rotate the adapter; do not force it. Check that the camera's lens release button is fully depressed when detaching.

Lens does not seem to mount securely.

Verify that you are using a Contax G mount lens and a Fujifilm X mount camera. Ensure the lens is fully rotated and locked onto the adapter, and the adapter is fully rotated and locked onto the camera.

Image appears blurry.

This adapter is manual. Ensure you have manually focused the lens correctly using your camera's live view, focus peaking, or magnification features. Check that the lens is set to its widest aperture for initial focusing if needed.

Exposure is incorrect.

Since electronic communication is not supported, you must manually set the aperture on the lens (if applicable) and use your camera's manual exposure mode (M) or aperture priority mode (A) with exposure compensation to achieve correct exposure.
