Questions & Answers

FAQ

Can I use this adapter with my vintage M42 lens on a Canon EOS camera?

Yes, this adapter is specifically designed to mount M42 Type 1 Screw Mount SLR Lenses onto Canon EOS (EF, EF-S) Mount SLR Camera Bodies.

What is the purpose of the Generation v10 Focus Confirmation Chip?

The Generation v10 Focus Confirmation Chip 'tricks' the Canon EOS body into thinking an EF lens is attached. This enables focus confirmation indicators to work with any lens attached, enhancing the manual focusing experience.

Will this adapter affect the autofocus function of my lens?

As this is a manual adapter, lens functions that rely on electronic communication with the camera body, such as autofocus, will be disrupted.

Is this adapter built to last?

Yes, the adapter features high-tolerance precision craftsmanship, an all-metal design, and a polished surface to ensure a smooth mounting experience for years to come.

Will this adapter allow my lens to focus to infinity?

Yes, the adapter is designed to account for the differences in focal flange distances between the lens and camera, ensuring all lenses will focus at least to infinity.

About Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter,M42 Type 1 Screw SLR Lens to Canon EF/EF-S w/Gen v10

From vintage lenses to modern Canon EOS cameras, the Lens Mount Adapter for M42 Type 1 Screw Mount SLR Lens to Canon EOS (EF, EF-S) Mount SLR Camera Body, with Generation v10 Focus Confirmation Chip, is your gateway to photographic versatility. This Fotodiox lens adapter, part of the world's largest selection, allows you to mix and match camera and lens platforms, or breathe new life into classic glass.

Whether you're a digital photographer or a film enthusiast, our lens adapters offer hundreds of possibilities to mount your preferred lenses onto your DSLR or SLR camera. Each adapter is designed to deliver infinity focus and a robust build for enduring quality. From standard to portrait, tilt/shift to wide angle, our adapters provide an affordable system that expands your lens options to better meet your photographic needs.

One of the challenges of using manual focus lenses on Canon EOS bodies is the lack of focus confirmation. With AF lenses, all Canon EOS bodies confirm focus with a green dot in the viewfinder and an optional audible beep. However, when non-EF compatible lenses are used via an adapter, this focus confirmation is disabled. The Generation v10 Focus Confirmation Chip solves this issue by 'tricking' the Canon EOS body into thinking an EF lens is attached, enabling focus confirmation indicators to work with any lens.

The adapter's high-tolerance precision craftsmanship ensures a secure connection between your camera and lens. The leaf spring design holds the lens tightly to the adapter, mirroring the leaf springs in the camera body to eliminate any play. The all-metal design and polished surface are engineered to provide a smooth mounting experience for years to come. The adapter's depth is designed to account for the differences in focal flange distances between the lens and camera, ensuring all lenses will focus at least to infinity.

Please note, this is a manual adapter, so lens functions that rely on electronic communication with the camera body (autofocus, AE metering, image stabilization, etc.) will be disrupted. Set your exposure manually or meter using your camera's Aperture Priority (stop-down) mode. If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, the lens aperture will revert to its default position.
