Full details

This Urth Lens Mount Adapter is designed for photographers who want to use M42 mount lenses on their Canon RF mount cameras. It provides a secure and light-sealed connection, enabling new creative possibilities by combining vintage or specialized M42 lenses with modern Canon RF bodies. The primary benefit is expanding your lens selection without needing a new camera system.

FAQs

Does this adapter support autofocus?

No, this is a manual lens mount adapter. Autofocus and electronic aperture control are not supported. You will need to manually adjust focus and exposure.

Can I use infinity focus with this adapter?

Yes, the adapter is designed to allow focus to infinity. However, calibration can sometimes vary between lens and camera combinations.

Will this adapter fit all Canon RF mount cameras?

Yes, it is designed to fit all cameras with the Canon RF mount, including models like the EOS R, R5, R6, R3, R7, R10, etc.

What material is the adapter made of?

The adapter is machined from hardened aluminum and copper for durability and a secure fit.

Do I need to change any camera settings?

Yes, you typically need to set your camera to Manual (`M`) or Aperture Priority (`Av`) mode and enable the option to 'Release Shutter Without Lens' in the camera's custom settings.

Can I adjust the aperture using the adapter?

No, aperture adjustments must be made directly on the M42 lens itself, as the adapter does not electronically control the lens.

What does the 'light-sealed' feature mean?

It means the adapter is precisely manufactured to ensure a snug fit between the lens, adapter, and camera body, preventing unwanted light from entering and affecting image quality.

Troubleshooting

Camera does not recognize the lens or adapter.

Ensure your camera is set to 'Manual Exposure' or 'Aperture Priority' mode and that the setting 'Release Shutter Without Lens' is enabled in your camera's custom functions.

Lens is loose or wobbly.

Re-mount the adapter and lens, ensuring they are twisted firmly until they click into place. Check for any debris on the mounting surfaces.

Difficulty mounting the lens or adapter.

Check for obstructions or dirt on the mounting threads or connection points. Ensure you are aligning the correct indicators before twisting.

Light leaks around the mount.

The adapter should provide a light-sealed fit. If leaks are present, re-mount the adapter and lens carefully. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure your Canon RF mount camera is turned off.
Align the adapter with the lens mount on your camera body and twist until it clicks into place.
Mount your M42 lens onto the adapter by aligning the red dot (or similar indicator) on the lens with the corresponding mark on the adapter, then twist the lens until it locks.
Turn on your camera. You will need to set your camera to 'Manual Exposure' (`M`) or 'Aperture Priority' (`Av`) mode. Ensure your camera's settings allow shooting without a lens (often found in the custom function menu, sometimes called 'Release Shutter Without Lens' or similar).
Manually set the aperture on the lens and focus using the lens's focus ring.

Compatibility:

Cameras: Compatible with all Canon EOS R series cameras (e.g., EOS R, R3, R5, R6, R7, R10, R50, R100).
Lenses: Compatible with all M42 mount lenses. Note: Some very long M42 lenses may physically interfere with the camera body or mirror (if applicable to the specific RF camera model), though this is rare for RF bodies which are mirrorless.

Care:

Clean the adapter's optical surfaces (if any, though this is a mechanical adapter) with a soft, lint-free lens cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
Keep the adapter dry and away from extreme temperatures.
When not in use, store the adapter attached to a lens or in its protective packaging to prevent dust and damage.
Periodically check the connection points for debris and clean gently with a dry cloth.
