Product Information

Full details

This Urth Lens Mount Adapter is for photographers looking to use their Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount lenses on a Nikon Z mount camera body. Its key benefit is enabling new creative lens combinations with a secure, light-tight connection. The primary caveat is that it is a manual adapter, requiring manual adjustment of focus and exposure settings as automatic functions are not supported. It is meticulously machined for a snug fit and coated with an anti-reflective finish.

FAQs

Does this adapter support autofocus?

No, this is a manual adapter and does not support autofocus. You will need to manually focus your lens.

Can I control the aperture through my Nikon Z camera?

No, aperture control is manual and must be adjusted directly on the Contax/Yashica lens itself.

What cameras is this adapter compatible with?

This adapter is designed for all Nikon Z mount camera bodies.

What lenses can I use with this adapter?

You can use any lens with a Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount.

Is it difficult to install?

No, the adapter is designed for easy installation and removal. It twists on and locks securely.

What does 'light-tight' mean in this context?

It means the adapter creates a seal that prevents any unwanted light from entering the camera through the mount connection, which could otherwise ruin your photos.

Does the adapter have any electronic contacts?

No, this adapter has no electronic contacts as it is a purely mechanical manual adapter.

Troubleshooting

Adapter won't mount to the camera

Ensure there are no obstructions on the camera mount or adapter mount. Verify you are using the correct adapter for Nikon Z mount cameras.

Lens won't mount to the adapter

Check that the lens is a Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount lens and that it is correctly aligned with the adapter's mounting index before twisting to lock.

Image is overexposed or underexposed

This adapter requires manual exposure. Adjust the aperture on the lens and the shutter speed/ISO on the camera body to achieve correct exposure.

Focus is consistently off

Ensure the adapter is securely mounted to both the lens and camera. Use manual focus aids on your camera like focus peaking or magnification.

Light leaks visible in images

Check that the adapter is firmly seated and locked onto both the lens and camera. Ensure the connection is snug and light-tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install the adapter, align the mounting index on the adapter with the corresponding index on your Nikon Z mount camera body and twist until it locks into place. Then, attach your Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount lens to the other side of the adapter, aligning their respective mounting indices and twisting to secure.

Compatibility: This adapter is designed specifically for Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount lenses and Nikon Z mount camera bodies. It does not support automatic functions such as autofocus, auto-exposure, or aperture control via the camera body. Ensure your camera's firmware is up to date for optimal performance.

Care: To clean the adapter, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the coatings. Store the adapter in a protective pouch when not in use to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
