Product Information

Full details

This Urth adapter is for photographers looking to expand their creative options by using classic Canon FD mount lenses on modern Canon EF/EF-S mount cameras. Its key benefit is enabling access to a new range of optical characteristics and shooting styles. The primary caveat is that automatic functions like aperture control and autofocus are not supported, requiring manual operation for focus and exposure. The adapter is meticulously machined for a secure, light-sealed connection, made from durable aluminum and copper with an anti-reflection finish, and easy to mount and dismount.

FAQs

Will my Canon FD lens autofocus with this adapter?

No, this adapter does not support autofocus. You will need to manually focus your Canon FD lens.

Can I control the aperture of my lens with this adapter?

No, automatic aperture control is not supported. You will need to adjust the aperture manually using the aperture ring on your Canon FD lens, if it has one.

What types of Canon cameras is this adapter compatible with?

This adapter is designed for Canon EOS cameras that have an EF or EF-S lens mount. This includes many DSLR and mirrorless models in the 5D, 6D, 7D, Rebel, and R series (with an EF-EOS R adapter).

How do I clean the adapter?

Gently wipe the adapter with a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.

Does this adapter affect image quality?

The adapter is designed with an anti-reflection matte finish to minimize internal reflections and flares. Proper mounting ensures a light-sealed connection, preserving image quality.

Can I use non-Canon FD lenses with this adapter?

No, this adapter is specifically designed for Canon FD mount lenses. Other lens mounts will not be compatible.

Is the 'plant 5 trees' initiative a one-time contribution?

Yes, for every Urth adapter purchased, 5 trees are funded to be planted in areas affected by deforestation.

Troubleshooting

Adapter won't attach to camera body

Ensure the camera's lens mount is clear of debris and that you are aligning the correct mounting indexes. Verify the adapter is designed for Canon EF/EF-S mounts.

Lens won't attach to adapter

Check that the lens is a Canon FD mount lens and align the lens's mounting index with the adapter's index. Ensure the lens mounting ring on the adapter is properly positioned.

Image appears overexposed or underexposed

This adapter requires manual exposure. Adjust the shutter speed and/or ISO on your camera body to achieve the desired exposure. The lens's aperture ring will also need manual adjustment if it has one.

Focus is soft or inaccurate

Use your camera's live view mode for magnified focusing, or utilize focus peaking if available. Manually adjust the focus ring on the Canon FD lens until the subject is sharp.

Light leaks in images

Ensure the adapter is securely locked onto the camera and the lens is securely locked onto the adapter. Check the edges of the connection for any gaps and clean any debris that might be preventing a tight seal.
