FAQs

Can I use this adapter with autofocus lenses?

No, this adapter is designed specifically for manual focus Canon FD mount lenses. It does not support autofocus lenses.

Will my camera's metering system work with this adapter?

Your camera's metering system will work in manual or aperture-priority modes, but you will need to manually set the aperture on the lens and adjust exposure settings accordingly. Automatic exposure is not supported.

Does the adapter include glass?

Yes, this adapter includes optical glass, which helps to maintain the correct focal plane and image quality.

What is the advantage of using this adapter?

It allows you to use a wider range of creative lenses (Canon FD mount) on your camera body (Nikon F mount), potentially offering unique image characteristics and expanding your photographic options.

How do I clean the optical glass?

Use a soft microfiber lens cloth and a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Gently wipe the glass in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outwards. Avoid touching the glass with your fingers.

Is the adapter durable?

Yes, the adapter is machined from hardened aluminum and copper, featuring a matte finish for durability and to prevent reflections.

What does 'SLIP FIT' mean?

Slip fit means the adapter is precisely machined to ensure a snug, light-tight, and secure connection to your camera body and lens.

Troubleshooting

Adapter does not attach securely to the camera.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the camera mount or on the adapter. Realign the mounting indicators and try again. Check if the correct camera mount (Nikon F) is selected.

Lens does not mount onto the adapter.

Verify that you are using a Canon FD mount lens. Align the red dots on the lens and adapter correctly and rotate firmly until it clicks.

Image appears out of focus or blurry.

Ensure manual focus is being adjusted correctly. The adapter requires precise manual focusing. Check that the adapter's optical glass is clean.

Exposure is incorrect.
