For every adapter purchased, Urth partners with organizations to plant 5 trees in areas impacted by deforestation as part of their environmental initiative.
Troubleshooting
Adapter does not attach smoothly to the camera.
Ensure there are no obstructions or debris in the camera mount or on the adapter. Check that you are aligning the correct mounting index.
Lens does not attach securely to the adapter.
Verify that the lens is the correct Nikon F-mount type and that it is aligned properly with the adapter's mounting index. Rotate firmly until it locks.
Camera does not recognize the lens (though it mounts).
This is expected behavior as the adapter provides no electronic communication. You must shoot in manual mode (M) and set focus and exposure manually.
Light leaks detected around the mount.
Ensure the adapter and lens are fully seated and locked into place. Check for any damage to the mount contacts on the camera, adapter, or lens.
