FotodioxLens Mount Adapter - Compatible with Olympus Pen F Lens on Fuji X-Mount Cameras

This is potentially an OK adapter made terrible by no instructions.Like many here I got my adapter stuck on my lens, panicked, and thought my expensive lens was ruined. The reason, NO INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO REMOVE THE ADAPTER. I had to go to a youtube video to discover I needed to SLIDE THE SILVER BUTTON BACK, NOT PRESS IT. How expensive would it have been to include a small instruction booklet???Another pain point, IF YOUR LENS HAS NO APERTURE RING THIS ADAPTER IS NOT FOR YOU. There, I said, how hard was that?? Why on Earth Fotodiox doesn't include these basic instructions is beyond me.Finally for those of you who do have a Nikon lens with an aperture adjusting ring, and now that you have the instructions needed to remove the adapter, I would say this adapter is decent I guess.

Wow! When I received the Fotodiox Nikon to Fuji-X adapter, I was first amazed at the build quality, the weight and solid construction of this adapter. I thought that I would sell off all of my Nikkor lenses with the purchase of my Fujifilm X-T3, but after mounting some of my favorites Nikkor lenses to this adapter and then the X-T3 body, I've decided to keep at least a half-dozen of my favorite lenses. In manual mode on the X-T3 and focus assist, my Nikon lenses perform just as well (sans the AF and AE meter coupling) but with all of the controls that the X-T3 has, it's very easy to use the Nikon glass to it's fullest potential. Fuji makes some excellent lens as well, and until I can afford the Fuji 200mm f2.0, I'll use the Fotodiox mount with my Nikon glass.

I tried them all, this one is the best. The Fotodiox FD to FX adapter is the best adapter, compared to the Haoge, Fotasy, Urth x Gobe and K&F adapters. The Haoge adapter sucks, very loose lens locking ring, doesn't stay in place. The Fotasy adapter is ok, but the lens locking ring isn't as well built & secure as the Fotodiox. The Urth x Gobe and the K&F adapters are very well built, but with one major flaw in my opinion: the lens locking ring doesn't lock into place. With the Fotasy adapter, the locking ring "clicks"/locks into either the "open" or the "closed" position. The Urth x Gobe and the K&F adapters don't "click" into place, they rotate like a fairly loose aperture ring. This means that while using the adapter with a lens, the loose ring could move, and the Canon lens aperture would thus change.In short, the Fotodiox adapter is well built, mounts securely to the Fuji body and Canon FD lens, and the lens locking ring stays securely in either the open or closed position, unlike the Urth x Gobe and the K&F adapters.

Use case. I found an old box of Minolta glass from circa late 80s at an estate sale. These were the precursor to the Sony Alpha mount. Fun project to use these on xt3 mount. These lens are $30 to $60 each on eBay. Amazon delivered the adaptor ($20). You need to put the alpha mount side of the adaptor on the lens. Line up the red dots and turn a quarter inch towards the small silver tab. To remove the adaptor this tab has a slight back and forth motion. You pull it away from Lens and turn to release. Don’t force it. This is not obvious but works well once you understand. Once you have that done you need to set up the camera. Put the lens and adaptor on and slide the lock circle. Nice solid fit no play at all. Well built product. From here this setting stumped me for an hour. You need to turn on “shoot without lens” in camera menu. This is manual lens so I turned on focus peaking and zebras. I’ll post the results so far the 50mm looks rad. I mostly shoot video so I always shoot full manual so this is perfect for me. I got a 200mm, 50mm, 135mm, 24mm, 502x macro and ND, CP filters for less than a $100. I did do a deep cleaning with a lens kit on everything to avoid dust.

This review is for the Contax C/Y -> Fuji X adapter. I was pretty skeptical but figured I could return it worst case. But it's fantastic! Expectations must be realistic - you do not get any autofocus or data coming from the lens to the camera body. Nothing, no aperture reading, no lens metadata, etc.But! If you're OK with manual focus, you can find killer deals on stuff like manual Contax C/Y mount lenses made by Zeiss and use this adapter to run them on your Fuji X-mount. This sample photo was taken with the 45mm 2.8mm Tessar Zeiss T* lens pictured. It's basically a pancake lens so it's very low profile and as you can see, plenty sharp.Also you must turn on third party lenses in the Fuji body!Wrench -> Button Dial Settings -> Shoot without Lens -> OnAt first I thought this thing didn't work until I read about this and it fixes all.Actually, this adapter is terrible. Zeiss lenses are terrible. Don't go out and buy them. Please :)

One side of this is a Fuji-X connector which you fit to your camera body in the same way you'd fit a regular lens, and the other side is a circular screw fitting that you can attach to the front filter thread of your lens. This means you can fit your lens on backwards. If you don't know why you'd want to do that, then this review isn't going to shed any light on that...I'd suggest you search for 'reverse macro' via your favourite search engine.It's made of decent quality plastic so should last a long time, and is a good fit to both the Fuji-X and filter thread connectors. This is simply a piece of plastic and doesn't contain any electronics so once your lens is fitted in reverse, you're in full manual.One thing to be aware of is that Fuji-X lenses use an 'aperture-by-wire' system and even though most Fuji lenses have an aperture ring, aperture is controlled by the camera body at the point of taking the shot. This means that regardless of what the aperture ring indicates, the lens will always be at maximum (i.e. widest) aperture when it's not attached to the camera. Using this adapter and attaching a lens in reverse is the same as having no lens at all as far as the camera is concerned (like I said, this is just a piece of plastic with no communication with the camera body). There are ways around this, but they're clunky at best. I intend to buy an old Nikon lens that has manual aperture control for use with this reverse adapter.

I bought this in order to use my Nikkor 24mm f1.8G on my Fuji X-E1. I knew the lens had excellent corner-to-corner sharpness as I've used it on 35mm film and it's one of my favourite lenses for such.The Fotodiox adapter is extremely well made, fits perfectly to both camera and lens, shift and aperture controls are v smooth and well-damped (although the throw of the latter is very short)Obviously you can't get precise aperture clicks so I just looked through the front of the lens and turned the ring until it looked about halfway stopped down. I didn't want to use fully stopped down because of diffraction.Contrary to my expectations, aperture-priority metering gave perfect results even with the lens fully shifted.It's not easy to focus a G lens manually, there's no infinity stop (although you'd be unwise to trust such with an adapter anyway) so it's worth taking great care over that. I assumed a stopped-down 24mm lens would get everything, I was wrong! I think probably it can focus beyond infinity, but if you're careful it'll be fine.Possibly the 20mm f1.8G would be an even better match for these purposes (= 30mm) but I like the "natural" perspective the 24mm gives.One caveat: the edge of the dedicated Nikon lens hood was just visible in some shots. Best leave it off, ditto filters.But for £84 this is a really good piece of kit. I haven't tried an actual shift lens on my Nikons but I don't see how they'd do a better job. And I'm not about to start shooting 4x5!

Really impressed with this Fotodiox Pro OM-FX adapter. I also own the Metabones version and the MB one, whilst fitting the FX well, is very tight on original OM lenses. It's just about ok. I also have a Panagor OM mount lens and that is way too tight on the MB adapter. This Fotodiox Pro model however fits everything really nicely. It feels as it should on both sides of the adapter and with all lenses. It weighs 104 grams compared to 133 grams for the Metabones. The MB feels very solidly made with top quality materials, but at the end of the day, if it doesn't fit properly, what use is it? The Fotodiox Pro is still really nicely made and actually the high quality black satin finish really closely matches the original Olympus Zuiko lens finish, whereas the MB finish, although nice, is shinier and therefore not as good a match. Both versions have an Arca Swiss compatible mount (removable) for tripod use. Full marks Fotodiox!

This is exactly as described. The adapter permits Sony/Minolta A mount lenses to be fitted to Fujifilm X mount cameras. In my case an X-S10.There are no electrical connections so neither focus or aperture are controlled by the camera and therefore both are set manually.The adapter fits very well locking both onto the camera and the lens with no play in either connection.This allows use of my older lenses on my new camera with the compromise of manual controls.

The Fotodiox Nikon to Fuji lens adapter allows Nikon lenses with aperture rings, to fit to Fuji's X system cameras (there is a different adapter or Nikon 'G' lenses). The reason I went for the more basic adapter is because I have plenty of older lenses and my newer Nikon lenses tend to be zooms, which are much bigger and heavier, so not really ideal for mounting on an X-E1.The basic idea is that by adding the adapter, you increase the flange distance between the camera and the lens and add system adapter to the camera (in this case the Nikon F mount). The system is really basic and works well. Everything works manually and you have to set the camera to work without lenses, as there are not contact points between the camera and adapter. Aperture is handled through lens and you have to manual focus (which isn't to hard, even at low apertures, with the X-E1 zoom and focus peaking ability).The build of the adapter is very good, it took me a few minutes to work out how to remove the lens (there is a round button, which I tried to push and pull (in fact you need to slide back to open the lens lock). I would suggest, that Fotodiox create a small video showing how unmount lens process and put it on their site.I have a small problem with importing the product Fotodiox were very good and refunded the extra money I had to pay very promptly after I raised the issue with them.All in all I am very pleased with the adapter.
