FAQs

Can I use autofocus with this adapter?

What does 'light-sealed' mean for this adapter?

What is the warranty for this product?

The Urth Lens Mount Adapter is backed by Urth's lifetime warranty.

Troubleshooting

Lens does not mount securely to the adapter.

Verify that you are using a Canon FD mount lens. Check for any debris on the lens mount or the adapter's lens receiving ring. Rotate the lens fully clockwise until it locks.

Images are consistently out of focus.

Confirm that you are using the focus peaking or magnification aids on your Nikon Z camera to achieve precise manual focus. Practice manual focusing with your specific lens.
