Fotodiox Mount Adapter for Minolta MD/MC Lens to Canon EOS EF-Mount Camera, Dandelion Focus Confirmation Chip

If you have a SLR or DSLR camera and other maker/mount lenses, the FotodioX Mount Adapters allow you to use your lenses on the film/digital camera body. Sharing lenses has some distinct advantages. Certain prime lens just can't be replaced and you save the cost of purchase on new lenses. Fotodiox offers a range of adapter from large format to smaller format digital adapters. Adapting larger format lens to smaller format sensors (i.e.: large format to medium format, medium format to 35mm, 35mm to micro 4/3) provides excellent edge-to-edge sharpness. The smaller image field helps minimize the effects of lens distortion and aberration by using the 'sweet spot' or center of the larger lens image circle.

This Fotodiox lens mount adapter is made with high standard precision. Its all metal design and polished surface is designed to guarantee smooth mounting and long lasting experiences. This Adapter has a built-in 1.4x Multi-Coated Focus Correction lens to adjust for infinity focus, the glass element can be removed for macro photography (for instructions on how to remove the glass element click here). This adapter allows Minolta MD Lenses to fit on a Canon EOS camera body. Adapter caps are included to protect the focusing element when not in use.

Although the lens will fit physically, automatic diaphragm, auto-focusing or any other functions will not operate correctly while using this adapter. In this case "stop-down mode" will need to be used when metering since the lens does not have the ability to have its aperture controlled by the camera body. The added microchip (or dandelion chip) enables the focus confirmation function within the Canon EOS Digital bodies, which helps the photographer to achieve proper focus even in dim or questionable focusing situations. The adapter can be used in either manual mode or aperture priority mode. Infinity focusing is guaranteed with the built-in 1.4x Multi-Coated Focus Correction Lens. Does NOT work on Canon EOS 5D Mark III.
