Product Information

Full details

This Urth adapter is designed for photographers who want to use their Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount lenses on Fujifilm X mount cameras. It offers a cost-effective way to expand your lens collection and explore new creative possibilities. The main benefit is unlocking a vast range of vintage and specialized C/Y lenses for modern digital cameras. A key caveat is that this is a manual adapter, requiring users to adjust focus and exposure manually, as it does not support automatic functions. It features a precise, secure fit, durable construction, and contributes to environmental conservation through tree planting initiatives.

Troubleshooting

Lens not mounting to the adapter

Ensure you are aligning the correct mounting index marks between the lens and the adapter. Check for any debris obstructing the mount.

Adapter not mounting to the camera

Verify that the adapter is properly aligned with the camera's mount index mark and turned clockwise until it locks. Ensure no obstructions are present on the camera mount.

Focus is not sharp

This adapter requires manual focus. Use your camera's live view or focus aids (like peaking or magnification) to achieve precise focus. Ensure the lens is correctly seated in the adapter and the adapter is correctly seated on the camera.

Image appears too dark or too bright

This adapter does not communicate with the camera. You must manually set the aperture on the lens and adjust the shutter speed or ISO on your camera to achieve correct exposure. Some Fujifilm cameras may require enabling 'Shoot Without Lens' in the custom settings.

Light leaks around the mount

Ensure the adapter is securely locked onto the camera and the lens is securely locked onto the adapter. The adapter is designed for a snug fit; if leaks persist, inspect both mounts for damage or debris.
