Its key benefit is facilitating unique lens and camera body combinations with a secure, light-sealed fit.

FAQs

Can I control the aperture with this adapter?

No, this is a manual adapter. You must set the aperture directly on the lens's aperture ring.

Will autofocus work with this adapter?

No, autofocus is not supported. All focusing must be done manually using the lens's focus ring.

What cameras are compatible with this adapter?

This adapter is designed for Leica M-mount cameras. Please ensure your specific camera model has an M-mount.

Can I use my Canon EF lenses with this adapter?

No, this adapter is specifically for Canon FD mount lenses. For Canon EF/EF-S lenses, you would need a different Urth adapter.

How do I ensure a proper fit?

Align the red dots on the adapter and camera, then rotate the adapter clockwise until it securely clicks into place. It should feel snug and light-sealed.

Does this adapter affect image quality?

The adapter is designed to be optically neutral and maintain image quality. However, manual focus and exposure require practice to achieve optimal results.

What is the warranty on this product?

This Urth adapter is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Troubleshooting

Adapter feels loose on the camera body.

Ensure the adapter is fully rotated clockwise until it clicks into place. Check for any obstructions in the camera mount or on the adapter's mounting ring.

Image is consistently out of focus.

Verify that you are using the adapter's focus mechanism correctly. Ensure the camera's rangefinder is calibrated or use live view magnification for critical focus.

Light leaks are present in images.

The adapter should provide a light-sealed fit. If light leaks are suspected, ensure the adapter is securely mounted and that there are no gaps between the lens, adapter, and camera body.

Adapter is difficult to attach or remove.

Ensure the alignment dots are correctly matched. Do not force the adapter; if resistance is met, remove it and check for any debris or misalignment in the mount.
