Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter Compatible with M42 Screw Mount SLR Lens on Fuji X-Mount Cameras

This lens adapter enables the use of NIKON (Nikkor) lenses on the FUJIFILM X-mount series of compact cameras. It works perfectly on my Fuji X-T1.The metal tube seems very solid and machined well. The mount lines up and slides smoothly onto the Fuji body with a reassuring click. Lenses mount as they would on the Nikon body on the receiving end, also very smoothly with no play. There is absolutely no movement or sense of mis-alignment on the copy I have.Focus using the Nikkors seems spot-on across the plane. It does of course extend the lens even farther from the camera and makes most of my Nikkors look ridiculously long and huge on the small Fuji body...but it works, and well. Not sure why the little ring is such a bright blue, its a bit distracting and showy, but OK.Of course, you have to FOCUS MANUALLY, there is no electronic contact with the third-party lenses to the Fuji camera. For newer Nikon lenses (G-type and above) you can set the aperture using the blue ring on the adapter. At far left is wide-open, at far-right is fully stopped-down. Don't know why there are only FOUR CLICKS between wideopen and stopped down fully. You can however move the ring slightly and get in-between these indented stops, but its a bit of a pain, and you don't know what f/stop its on at all. I've noticed the Canon version of this adapter appears to have several more "stops" on this ring--not sure why the Nikon version has so few.You can use your camera in Aperture-Priority mode and let the camera do some of the AE work if you want. Also, you can use older Nikon lenses as well (ones with aperture rings on the lens). I then put the adapter's ring on max (stopped-down) and use the lens' aperture ring to change apertures--works fine, and you then have all the clicks available on the lens. With G-lenses you just have to guess where you have the aperture. I generally just shoot wide open, or stop it down just a tad.I'm pretty happy for the price though. It works, its sharp, and I can use every Nikon glass I own (from 8mm fisheye to 300 f/2.8) on my Fuji body, if I so desire. So far I am happy using a few primes in particular such as my Tamron 90mm Macro, a 50 and 85 f/1.4, Tokina 10-17mm, etc. I'd suggest holding any heavy lens by the lens, and not put too much weight on your Fuji body mount!

I bought this set of extension tubes despite a lot of low ratings. I figured for the price, ($14.00 incl. shipping), it won’t be too bad even if it does not work. I was pleasantly surprised, after playing around with it, how it actually works perfectly. I have a Fuji X-M1 and used the 16-50mm kit lens for my testing.This set of extension tubes is actually comprise of 5 pieces, 1 camera mount (attaches to your camera), 1 lens mount (attaches to your lens), 1 each of the following tubes - 7mm, 14mm, & 28mm (which screws in between the camera mount and lens mount. You can also not use the tubes and just screw the lens mount into the camera mount.The issue that worried me the most was the lens getting stuck in the lens mount. Fortunately, this did not happen to me. The lens mounted snugly with the lens mount and clicked into place after rotating clockwise. To remove, I simply pull the lens release knob back on the lens mount and twist the lens counter-clockwise. This also addresses the issue of the lens not mounting properly.This set of tubes do not have the correct electrical contacts so I set my camera to manual focus and set the “Shoot Without Lens” to ON. With the extension tubes mounted, you cannot set the aperture and the focus ring does not work (and by extension, Auto-Focus will not work either). You can focus by moving the camera back and forth coupled with changing the focal length of the lens by zooming in and out.You can also adjust the exposure by changing the shutter speed and/or the ISO setting. I posted some pictures and hope this review will be helpful.

Use case. I found an old box of Minolta glass from circa late 80s at an estate sale. These were the precursor to the Sony Alpha mount. Fun project to use these on xt3 mount. These lens are $30 to $60 each on eBay. Amazon delivered the adaptor ($20). You need to put the alpha mount side of the adaptor on the lens. Line up the red dots and turn a quarter inch towards the small silver tab. To remove the adaptor this tab has a slight back and forth motion. You pull it away from Lens and turn to release. Don’t force it. This is not obvious but works well once you understand. Once you have that done you need to set up the camera. Put the lens and adaptor on and slide the lock circle. Nice solid fit no play at all. Well built product. From here this setting stumped me for an hour. You need to turn on “shoot without lens” in camera menu. This is manual lens so I turned on focus peaking and zebras. I’ll post the results so far the 50mm looks rad. I mostly shoot video so I always shoot full manual so this is perfect for me. I got a 200mm, 50mm, 135mm, 24mm, 502x macro and ND, CP filters for less than a $100. I did do a deep cleaning with a lens kit on everything to avoid dust.
