FAQs
Will autofocus work with this adapter?
No, this is a manual adapter. All electronic functions, including autofocus, are not supported. You must manually focus the lens.
Can I control the aperture with this adapter?
This adapter does not electronically control the aperture. If your Nikon F (G-Type) lens has an aperture ring, you can adjust it manually. If it's a G-Type lens without an aperture ring, the aperture may be fixed at its smallest setting or controlled via specific camera body settings if available, but electronic control is not present.
Will this adapter record EXIF data (like aperture and focal length)?
No, because it is a manual adapter and does not electronically communicate with the camera, it will not record EXIF data from the lens.
Is this adapter compatible with all Nikon F lenses?
This adapter is specifically designed for Nikon F (G-Type) lenses. While it may physically fit other F-mount lenses, electronic control and full functionality are not guaranteed for non-G-Type lenses, especially those without aperture rings.
How do I clean the adapter?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to clean the mounting surfaces. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.
What is the warranty on this adapter?
Urth adapters are backed by a lifetime warranty.
Can I use this adapter to mount Micro Four Thirds lenses on a Nikon F camera?
No, this adapter is designed specifically for mounting Nikon F (G-Type) lenses onto Micro Four Thirds cameras, not the other way around.
Troubleshooting
Camera does not take a photo after mounting the adapter
Ensure 'Shoot Without Lens' (or similar) is enabled in your camera's menu settings. This setting is required for adapters that do not communicate electronically with the camera.
Image is consistently out of focus
Verify that you are manually focusing correctly using the lens's focus ring. Ensure the adapter is securely attached to both the camera and the lens, and that the lens is properly seated.
Lens seems loose or wobbly
Re-mount the lens and adapter, ensuring they are both fully seated and locked into place by rotating them until they click. Check for any debris on the mounting surfaces.
Vignetting or dark corners in photos
This can occur due to the difference in sensor size. Try stopping down the aperture on your lens (if possible) or consider cropping in post-processing. Note that some vignetting is inherent when adapting lenses to different sensor formats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your Nikon F (G-Type) lens is clean and free of debris.
Align the mounting index mark on the adapter with the corresponding mark on your Micro Four Thirds camera body.
Gently insert the adapter into the camera mount and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place.
Attach your Nikon F (G-Type) lens to the adapter, aligning the lens's mounting index mark with the mark on the adapter. Rotate the lens clockwise until it locks.
On your camera, navigate to the menu settings and enable 'Shoot Without Lens' or a similar option to allow the camera to take photos with the adapter.
Set your desired aperture directly on the lens (if it has an aperture ring) or be aware that G-Type lenses typically default to their smallest aperture when mounted this way and may require manual adjustment on the lens itself if possible or specific camera body settings.
Manually focus using the lens's focus ring and adjust exposure settings (aperture and shutter speed) on your camera or lens as needed.
Compatibility:
Lens Mount: Nikon F (G-Type) lenses.
Camera Mount: Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount cameras (e.g., Panasonic Lumix G series, Olympus OM-D series, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera).
Care:
Keep the adapter's mounting surfaces clean using a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
Avoid exposing the adapter to moisture or extreme temperatures.
Store the adapter in a protective case or pouch when not in use.
