Q
will my Canon lens work with my Sony a5100 with this adapter?
A
Don’t forget that it’s a manual lens adapter. Works with full manual lenses. If your lens has no physical aperture ring, you cannot control it from your camera  
Q
Hi! using this adapter with nikon 200-500mm on panasonic gh5, can i use the aperture ring control on the adapter to control aperture ? thanks!
A
Nope, there is no electronic communication with your panasonic camera and nikon lens 
Q
FD series adapter ring installation and operation steps.
A

There are two types of FD mounts
FD/FL Breech-Mount (with a silver ring, you need to rotate the silver ring when attachment and removal), breech-lock mounts are identified by the silver ring
New-FD Bayonet Mount, bayonet mounts are identified by a red dot next to the lens release button

Here are the steps to install breech-mount version

  1. Set your lens to smallest except for auto(bayonet mount only)
  2. Rotating the Lock-Open ring of the adapter on the OPEN side
  3. Line up the red dot with your lens and adapter ring(if yours is bayonet mount, just turn the adapter ring towards clockwise direction to make lens and adapter tight,then ignore the 4th step)
  4. Turn your lens ring towards counterclockwise direction to make the adapter ring tight with your lens
  5. Rotating the Lock-Open ring of the adapter on the LOCK side to engage the aperture closing pin

Operating the adapter

  1. If you'd like to operate the lens aperture with the adapter; on your lens, set the aperture to the smallest opening and use the adapter ring
  2. If you'd like to operate the lens aperture with the lens; place the adapter ring on the small aperture(Lock place) and control the aperture on the lens

 
Q
Why could not adjust the aperture when use EOS-M4/3 adapter ring
A
  1. As Canon’s EOS lenses are electronically controlled,most Canon EF mount lenses do not feature a manual aperture ring,so when used on our EOS-M4/3, which is a full manual operation adapter ring, the aperture could not be transferred to the camera, it will stop down to its smallest f/stop by default.
  2. Some buyer mentioned could not adjust the aperture, actually this is because your lens does not have the aperture control function, If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, it will stop down to its smallest f/stop by default
  3. You could set your aperture via this way, but we do not suggest to use this way: You can control the f-stop by putting the lens on an EOS body, stop it down using the DOF preview button, and while holding the button down taking the lens off the camera. You can then transfer the lens to the M4/3 camera, and it will retain the f-stop.
 
Q
Some questions about the aperture
A
  1. please judge whether your lens could adjust the aperture there is only Nikon(G),also called AI(G) adapter ring has the aperture control ring, and is only for Nikon G lens,
    If you want to use nikon AI lens on this Nikon(G) adapter ring, it could be attached, but the aperture control ring could not be used as
    there is a pin on Nikon G lens that could move the aperture control ring but no on AI lens.
  2. Some buyer mentioned could not adjust the aperture, actually this is because your lens does not have the aperture control function, If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, it will stop down to its smallest f/stop by default
  3. Since there is no electronic contacted on our adapter ring, so could not transfer the aperture number to camera.
