Product Information

Full details

This Urth Lens Mount Adapter is for photographers looking to use their existing Nikon F (G-type) mount lenses on a Canon RF-mount camera. Its primary benefit is unlocking new creative possibilities by allowing the use of a different lens system. A key caveat is that it does not support electronic functions, requiring manual control of focus and exposure. The adapter offers a secure, light-tight connection, is easy to use, and is constructed from durable materials, with a portion of each purchase supporting reforestation efforts.

FAQs

Will autofocus work with this adapter?

No, this is a purely manual adapter. Autofocus is not supported as there is no electronic connection between the Nikon F lens and the Canon RF camera.

Can I control the aperture of my G-type lens?

G-type lenses typically lack an aperture ring and rely on the camera body for electronic aperture control. Since this adapter does not support electronic functions, the aperture on G-type lenses will likely remain at its widest setting or be fixed. Older Nikon F lenses with manual aperture rings are more suitable for this adapter.

What does 'G-type' lens mean in this context?

A 'G-type' Nikon lens refers to lenses that have no manual aperture control ring on the lens itself; aperture is controlled electronically via the camera body. This adapter is designed for such lenses but cannot control their aperture.

Can I use my Nikon F lenses on my Canon RF camera with this adapter?

Yes, you can physically mount Nikon F (G-type) mount lenses onto Canon RF mount cameras using this adapter, but all operations (focusing and exposure) must be done manually.

Does the adapter affect image quality?

The adapter itself is designed with an anti-reflective matte finish to minimize internal reflections. Image quality will primarily depend on the quality of the Nikon F lens used. Ensure a snug fit to prevent external light from entering.

What happens to the trees planted with my purchase?

Urth partners with organizations to plant 5 trees in areas affected by deforestation for each adapter purchased. This contributes to ecosystem restoration and biodiversity.

Is this adapter compatible with all Nikon F lenses?

This adapter is specifically designed for Nikon F (G-type) mount lenses. While some older Nikon F lenses might physically fit, their functionality may vary significantly, especially if they rely heavily on electronic communication or have unique aperture mechanisms.

Troubleshooting

Adapter does not attach securely to the camera.

Ensure there are no obstructions on the camera mount or adapter mount. Verify you are using the correct adapter for your camera's mount (Canon RF).

Lens does not attach securely to the adapter.

Check that the lens mount is clean and free of debris. Ensure the lens is properly aligned with the adapter's mounting point and rotated fully until it locks.

Camera does not meter or show an image after mounting.

This adapter is manual only. Ensure the camera is set to a manual shooting mode (M) or aperture priority (Av) with exposure compensation. Check that the lens's aperture is set appropriately (if applicable) and that you are manually focusing.

Light leaks are present around the lens or adapter.

The adapter is designed to be light-tight. If leaks are suspected, detach and re-mount the lens and adapter, ensuring they are fully seated and locked.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows repurposing of existing Nikon F lenses on new Canon RF bodies.
  • Solid, well-machined construction ensures a secure fit.
  • Simple to attach and detach, improving workflow.
  • Contributes to environmental sustainability through tree planting.
  • Cost-effective way to expand photographic options without buying new lenses.

Cons

  • Does not support any electronic lens functions (autofocus, aperture control, image stabilization).
  • Requires manual adjustment of focus and exposure on the camera.
  • Not compatible with lenses that have non-G type aperture mechanisms (e.g., older AI-S lenses require a different adapter).
  • Potential for vignetting or coverage issues depending on the specific lens and camera sensor size.
  • Learning curve for manual focusing and exposure control for users accustomed to electronic lenses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the camera mount and the lens mount are clean.
  2. Align the adapter's mounting mark with the corresponding mark on the Canon RF camera body.
  3. Gently insert the adapter and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place.
  4. Mount the Nikon F (G-type) lens onto the adapter, aligning its mount mark with the adapter's mark.
  5. Rotate the lens clockwise until it locks securely.

Compatibility:

  • Camera Mount: Canon RF mount cameras.
  • Lens Mount: Nikon F mount (specifically G-type lenses). Note: Older Nikon F lenses without electronic contacts may not be compatible, and lenses requiring electronic aperture control will have their aperture fixed.

Care:

  • Clean the adapter's mount surfaces periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
  • Avoid exposing the adapter to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • Store the adapter in a protective case or pouch when not in use to prevent dust and scratches.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
