Does a T mount lens freely rotate when mounted to this adapter (so making impossible to achieve focus without the lens to rotate) ?

I'm not understanding the question, perhaps. The adapter locks to the body of the camera and screws onto the eyepiece threads. The barrel of the eyepiece rotates and it does the focusing internally but the threaded (top) of the EP doesn't rotate so the camera and the adapter don't rotate.

You need to have an adaptor to your particular camera. Mine is a t-mount. These are little rings that do not cost much. I have used this with a Nikon. It is strictly manual focus, but fun to play with until you can afford something better.

ADAPTER SEEMS STUCK? OK, this is easy (unless you've already forced it and broken it off.) As already noted in the comments, The silver button on the adapter SLIDES towards the camera and that releases the lens. It doesn't push in as you might think.

Ummm. Not sure I understand the question. It's a glass filter, not a polarizing filter, so there shouldn't be a part that turns. Besides that, on my Canon cameras, the tulip attaches to the lens, not to the filter.

Their is a thread mount ring that fits onto the thread of the lens and the hood twists onto the mount ring. The mount ring stay's in place, while you twist the hood off flip it over and twist it back onto the mount ring. Just reverse the process to flip it back. Hope this been some help.

Yes. It retracts. But you will need to purchase a new lens cap (which is not a big deal) The cap that comes with the camera is too small after you add the adapter. I really like my adapter.

Your question does not quite make sense but if you have a rotating ring to change the aperture with the adapter you can fit the adapter and use another brand body. Your lens will be fully manual, both focus and aperture. Your camera aperture control becomes disabled.

This adapter provides NO electrical connections betwen the camera body and the legacy lens. So there is no mechanism to focus the lens except your fingers :-) This is true for many of the inexpensive adapters, especially the early entries in the field. If you have any more specific questions, write to Fotodiox -- they were very responsive when I had a problem.

There is a button on the side of the-adapter, you need to pull out or push in to un mount the lens

The adapter I have was very tight at first. I removed the assembly from the camera and had to use a considerable amount of force to get it to come off the first lens I put it on. Just MAKE SURE the small release pin on the side is pulled back (to release the locking pin) before trying to rotate the adapter when removing it. Be careful not to damage your lens. Best of luck.

The adapter does allow you to use the full function of the Canon lenses. The mount was some what loose and could possibly loose contact with the pins. This is annoying and was the reason I returned the item. I heard that some people received a better fitting adapter that did not have the play I experienced. The Canon version does not have this issue. Quite a price difference but I really like the Canon one better because of the fit issue.

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side. Hope this will help. Richard.

Yes thats possible! You can rotate the lens 355 degrees in two ways horz./vert.

I put a thin rubber band in the groove of the adapter ring and it works well-no unwanted rotation. I use rubber bands from an inexpensive, multicolored assortment available in the office/school supply section at Wal-Mart.

Hi Soozi,The adapter ring, itself, only seemed to go on with a partial twist. 1/4 to 1/2 revolution. The lens (UV) probably has about one and 7/8 revolutions. Just an estimate from my inexperienced eye. Mine seems quite solid. I have one issue though. I put the UV lens on first and the CPL over it. Now I'm having issues getting the CPL off. Any ideas out there?

No, the lens are fixed and directed ahead. You can only move it left-right / up-down for some degrees.

No, it attaches to another lens, not the t-ring for the camera. I have tried. . . .
