FAQs
Will this adapter allow autofocus?
No, this is a manual adapter. It does not support autofocus or any electronic functions between the lens and the camera.
How do I set the exposure?
You will need to use your camera's manual exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture, and ISO). The adapter does not communicate with the camera electronically.
Can I use lenses with different M39 thread sizes?
This adapter is specifically designed for the M39 screw mount standard. Please verify your lens's mount type before purchasing.
Is the adapter compatible with video recording?
Yes, you can use it for video recording, but all focus and exposure must be set and adjusted manually during filming.
Does this adapter affect image quality?
The adapter itself does not have optical elements, so it does not affect image quality directly. However, the quality of the M39 lens you use will determine the final image quality. The anti-reflection coating helps minimize internal reflections.
What is the warranty on this adapter?
This adapter is backed by a lifetime warranty, reflecting Urth's commitment to quality and durability.
How do I clean the adapter?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently clean the mounting surfaces. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
Adapter does not attach smoothly
Ensure there are no obstructions on the camera mount or the adapter's mounting bayonet. Check for any debris in the threads or locking mechanism. Gentle, consistent pressure is key.
Lens does not lock into the adapter
Verify that the lens is compatible with the M39 mount specification. Ensure the lens's mounting tabs are aligned correctly with the adapter's slot and that you are rotating it fully until it clicks.
Camera does not recognize the lens
This is expected behavior as the adapter is manual and does not transmit electronic data. You must set focus and exposure manually on the camera and lens.
Light leaks around the mount
Ensure the adapter is fully seated and locked onto the camera. Check the adapter's flange for any damage or debris that might prevent a tight seal. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
