FAQs

Does this adapter allow for autofocus?

No, this is a manual adapter. Electronic functions, including autofocus, are not supported. You will need to focus manually.

Will I be able to control the aperture?

Yes, you will control the aperture directly on the Contax/Yashica lens itself, provided the lens has an aperture ring.

Can I use this adapter with Canon EF-S lenses on a Canon EF body?

This adapter is designed for Contax/Yashica lenses to Canon EF/EF-S *camera bodies*. It does not adapt Canon lenses to other Canon mounts.

Is the adapter durable?

Yes, it is machined from hardened aluminum and copper with an anti-reflection matte finish and is backed by a lifetime warranty.

How do I clean the adapter?

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the metal surfaces. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.

What is the purpose of the light-sealed connection?

The light-sealed connection ensures that no stray light can enter between the lens and the camera body, which could degrade image quality.

Troubleshooting

Lens does not mount to adapter

Ensure the lens is correctly aligned with the adapter's mounting index and that no debris is obstructing the mount.

Adapter does not mount to camera

Check that the camera's lens mount is clear of obstructions and that the adapter is correctly aligned with the camera's mounting index.

Image is out of focus
