Z Cam V Mount Adapter

[Alethia Tiell]

Idiscovered a very easy and economical way to make a 1/4-20 to M4-.70 adapter, I am surprised at myself. If this was a project at work, I would have come up with it very quickly.

1/4-20 to M4-.70 adapter for the Wyze Cam OG

Hey Folks. In reference to my adapter video posted earlier; after 23 days, my epoxied nut/screw adapter the was in use fell apart. I checked the two that I did a couple of days ago and they both came apart with low force. Apparently it does not work permanently. I will investigate.

I will be using an EF 100mm Macro lens on an R6. I want to buy extension tubes for this combo. Does it matter if I put RF tubes on the camera or EF tubes on the lens? The EF tubes are a bit less expensive.

There are macro rings for RF mount, on ebay, from who knows what manufacturer. The may be fine, but like Wadizzle says, I would be more inclined to trust tried-and-tested EF mount tubes, which have been around long enough for plenty of people to have reviewed them. Macro rings don't have to do a lot, basically just the mechanics and straight-through wiring for the electronic connection. But cheapo third-party junk can always find some way to screw up.

If the adapted lens's mount is shallower than the camera's mount, then the adapter is working exactly like an extension tube and will reduce far-focusing capabilities, if there's no glass element. NGS Medicare

That's why one end of the Lens Adapter is larger than the other. The adapter has no effect on the MFD (minimum focusing distance) and the distance should remain the same as it would on a DSLR with an APS-C sensor.

Adding one extension tube to a body is fine. When you begin stacking them is when you can start running into problems with budget priced adapters. The stack of extension tubes can begin to become a little wobbly. Not a whole lot wobbly, but more than enough to have an impact on focusing a macro distances and narrow DOF.

In answer to the original question, I don't know why you couldn't use them and don't think it matters very much where you put the extension tubes.... between the lens and the lens adapter... or between the lens adapter and the camera body. Either way the result is the same... the lens is moved farther from the sensor and will focus close, rendering higher magnification. Since an EF 100mm Macro can already do 1:1 on it's own, adding extensions will make the lens able to do higher than life size magnification.

However... There simply aren't a lot of extension tubes available for RF-mount. Canon doesn't make any yet. Several 3rd party manufacturers have stepped up with somewhat limited choices or individual tubes: -Tubes/ci/276/N/4077634539?filters=fct_camera-body-...

In contrast, there are many that have been or are still being made for the EF mount... both by Canon themselves and a number of third party manufacturers. -Tubes/ci/276/N/4077634539?filters=fct_camera-body-... If you wanted you also could probably find a lot of them available used (not much to wear out, so I would consider used tubes so long as they are a quality brand like Canon or Kenko).

Just be sure to get the type that has the electronic contacts... NOT the really cheap ones without any electronic support. That way you will be able to set the lens aperture, and if you wish use AF and IS, if the lens has it. I use several of the Canon tubes (two 12mm and a 25mm) and the Kenko set (12, 20 and 36mm) pretty much interchangeably.

The easiest way to find and confirm your lens mount is to know the mount of the camera it was used on originally. A quick internet search of the camera model followed by lens mount is a sure way to confirm what lens mount you need. For example if you have an old Nikon lens and you know it was used on a Nikon FM2, you can easily find that the lens has a Nikon F-mount. This is particularly useful for lenses that are made for different mounts i.e Sigma and Tamron bring out the same lens with different mounts including EF, F, E so knowing the camera the lens was used on is a good shortcut.

There are countless creative experiments to be explored by mixing different brands of lenses with your camera body. Lens adapters can also help your existing collection of lenses go further with any new cameras you collect. So you can invest in a new camera and make the most of your favourite lenses.

Canon recently announced their newest cameras, the Canon EOS R5 and the Canon EOS R6 and I could not be more excited! Photographers who have taken the leap and invested in the new mirrorless system may now be wondering whether they are able to continue to use their EF and EF-S lenses with their new camera. Does using the new Canon mirrorless system require photographers to purchase all new RF lenses?

When using my EF lenses alongside my new RF lenses, I want both to function in the same way to create a seamless experience when switching between lenses. For example, when I use my Canon RF 50mm f/1.2 L and then replace it with my Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II with the Canon Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R, I am still able to change my ISO with the control ring.

It is because of this seamless experience when switching between EF and RF lenses that I highly recommend the Canon Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R. Though it costs about $100 more than the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R, it is well worth it for the abilities that the control ring provides. The build quality of the adapter is also incredible! It is solid and there is no shake between the camera and the lens. When rotating the control ring, it has a very satisfying click to it.

While I'm interested in a mirrorless camera, either MFT or X mount, I'd like to adapt some of my extensive collection of SLR lenses to one such camera. While I know it will defeat some of the size-advantage, this is a necesary but temporary step while acquiring lenses for the mirrorless, some of which have no present equivalent for these systems.

While the answer to this question says AF is not possible, I am more concerned with being able to control the lens aperture at all. 95% of my photography is taken in A mode and I have lenses for all but one DSLR mount.

Yes, but if you're not using an adapter that does electronic communication between the body and lens, it's a serious pain-in-the-butt. I've heard of it working the same way on both Canon and Olympus, so I'm assuming it may work on more than just those two systems, but you essentially mount the lens on a native body that does communicate with it, then you hit a DoF preview button, and unmount the lens while it's stopped down. Then adapt it.

Mostly the "smart" adapters have been for Canon EOS lenses (since Nikon only recently removed aperture rings with the G-series lenses, but Canon lost 'em back in the '80s) to the micro four-thirds, Sony E, and Fuji X mounts.

Metabones is probably the best known maker of adapter rings that provide electronic communication when adapting to mirrorless, but with the full mount communication, they do also provide aperture control from the body. Most notably for Canon EOS to Sony E, Fuji X, or micro four-thirds (common usage pattern for some folks moving to mirrorless).

There are also some mounts (such as Nikon F), where the adapter ring can take advantage of an external aperture lever to control the aperture on the lens from the adapter ring. This is likely to perform better than an adapter with its own iris.

The Kipon adapter seems to be the main option for m4/3rds to Canon EF that is available right now. Here it is on Amazon - Kipon EOS-m4/3 Canon EOS to Micro Four Thirds Lens Adapter. A prominent photographer reviewed it here and seemed to give it favorable remarks.

Depending on your needs, another option that is likely free to utilize is using the DoF preview button on a Canon DSLR first, then dismounting the lens at the same time. This will lock the lens to the selected aperture on the DSLR. This may be of limited value but it also may work in certain applications. I use this trick all the time for macro extension tubes for example(my set loses communication with the camera to control the aperture).

For lenses with a mechanical aperture ring this is possible. The aperture is selected on the lens as normal for manual exposure. A control on the adaptor then actuates the stop-down controls of the lens mount. This essentially converts the lens to behave like an M42 lens, requiring stop-down metering workflows.

There's significant variation depending on the mechanics of the mount. M42 lenses already have a stop-down control on the lens so the adaptor can be a dumb solid tube. Similarly a manufacturer might choose to omit the stop-down control for legacy OM lenses since they have a DoF preview button on the lens itself. Other mounts exist where the aperture lever can be locked into a detent.

I was recently gifted an M10 as well as 6 Leica lenses and I would like to use some of the lenses on a Sony E mount namely the A7IV and ZV-E1. I am wondering what adapter is best. All of the lenses are modern.

I have had great results with the Hawk's Factory helicoid adapter. They can be a little hard to find, but worth seeking out. They function flawlessly and have a great infinity adjustment feature. If your M lenses focus accurately at the infinity hard stop, you can set infinity to be perfect on the Sony body, which is not easy to accomplish via other methods when adapting to Sony. The macro feature is excellent as well.
