Does this actually work on a full-frame body as the description mentions? I have a similar-looking one that works on my 50D but not my 5D Mark III

To actually use this adapter on a full frame camera you will need to use the mirror lockup feature. Lock it up and shoot in live view, which is not ideal in any way. The mirror will hit the aperture blade mechanism and leave you with a half frame black. And if you do it often you will dent the mirror or the mechanism. I have a 6D.

A full manual k mount lens has no machanical protrusions to adjust your aperture. These I feel are the safe ones the adapter is made for. I would look at the back of an EF mount lens and measure from the camera mirror when off you should be able to lift to a position that is far out as it will go. If you like it, go for it. I have a ID MK4 and will only use EF mounts even with the 1.3 sensor. Just looking at the lenses that are full manual film lenses, they look like they will work. Any other i won't comment anymore for, to many protrusions sticking to the mirror box. My manual lenses all work great with the adapter.

My Pentax K adapter works fine on my EOS 1n, which is full frame but it is a film body. This may or may not differ from a full frame digital body so I'm sorry I cannot answer your question about your full frame body. I do not own a Canon digital camera so I don't know much about them. I have heard that some of the 5D bodies have mirror issues with certain lenses.

Yes and no.At 16mm, it will work on full frame Canons, with a slight vigniette on the extreme corners. At 11-15mm, however, the entire frame is not covered.I occassionally use this lens on my 5D mark 1 and get some amazing results! It's the only "crop" lens I kept after upgrading from my t2i =)

While this is a great adapter, and will work on almost any canon full frame, sadly this most likely will not work with the 5d iii due to reverse engineering- this AF chip was produced before the introduction of the 5d iii. I have had great luck with adapters that have the Optix V5+ or V6 chip on the 5 iii. They are very well made (i've used them in m42 and Nikon to EOS mount) and seem to be extremely accurate for focusing. they have some nice features too, such as programming different lenses to one adapter, and "focus trap". The EzPhoto adapter is very good too and I have some for my other applications, bu tmine do not workk on the 5d iii.

mine is mounted for canon. I think they make one for Nikon full frame (DX?????) mine works for full frame only so I would say yes...

I have used it on the Canon 5d mkII. I'm sorry but I have no other experience.

I have a Canon 5d mark 2 and a Canon 7d and it works great on both of them. I would say it works on the T3i because it's still a canon flash and hot shoe system.

No, this is designed for crop-sensor bodies. You can use it on full frame, but the wide angle will get heavy vignetting.

Yes it works on all full frame Canon cameras and its the best bang for the buck you will find. I had the Sigma 8mm ($900) and this lens is way cheaper at 1/3 the price and every bit as sharp. I love this lens and have a blast shooting with it.

It should. I used it on my 50D and now my 60D without any issues. It is a APS lens, so it'll work on both full frame and crop bodies.

I was told all the canons use the same logic...while this might be true it is 'knock off' and will not work with some off-camera flash controllers. Wow... Canon 5D mk2-- go with a canon flash and you will not regret it. If you want something on camera with a little more bounce capability than stock 5D this is ok.

I used it with my30D; 40D; and 5D Mk 11, it works great. I have had it for a few years already. I believe you will love it. The price, you will love.

Yes, I actually used it on my GF5... it does look very disproportionate, but it works the same as on any other m 4/3 camera

This will not work on any of the xxxD models. It will work on the 5D Classic and most of the xxD models (30D, 40D, 50D, etc.)

Wish I had a 5D Mark III so I could answer with authority. I think it will but would reach out to Tamron to confirm. I've used it on an XTi and an XS.

dont know about the 50D, but it works beautifully with the T3i and the 5d mark III

To ED F,New 50d owner thanks you for advice on 50D over older 5D. After reading Ken Rockwell's info on the advantage of a full frame sensor, sensor size posed my only regret. If I continue to expand my system I can add the 5D Mark II. I know from the past that it is nice to have two bodies. In the 80's I had (still have) the New F1 w/speedfinder for telephoto pics and what I called my "Focus and Shoot" AE1 Program for everything else. What a combo! I'm new to digital and I have a lot to learn and my 50D should work out nicely.Bob
