Adapter ring cover problem

Removed the adapter ring cover in order to mount an adapter tube and wide-angle lens. I'm finished with the wide-angle so I removed the adapter tube and attempted to re-install the adapter ring cover. It will not lock into place despite anything I try. Has anyone out there got a solution to this problem other than taking it to a repair shop? Thanks.

Maybe the adapter ring release button is stuck after you pushed it in to release the cover. Try giving it a good flicking until you are sure it has popped out.

Vivitar screw mount lens, Nikon D-80 camera. Is there an adapter for this?

The M42 mount was used by several camera manufacturers, most notably Pentax. Nikon is not one of them.
Vivitar made many lenses with a T-mount. This consists of a screw mount on the lens and a suitable adapter, depending on the camera body. This allows a lens to be used with different cameras simply by changing the adapter.
If your lenses are T-mount, then yes, there are adapters available. One source is here.
Be aware that you'll probably lose any metering capability when using any lens with this adapter. You'll have to use a separate light meter or else view the resulting picture on the display and adjust the exposure appropriately.

Hi, I bought a CANON FD - 28 mm f 2.8 WIDE ANGLE LENS for my OH's eos 400D, he says it doesnt fit, its too small. Is there an adapter or anything or should I just look for the right one? Many thanks

Canon FD lenses date back to before the mid 1980's. They use a totally different mounting system to the later EOS mount which was a redesign to suit the needs of auto-focussing.

Unfortunately they are chalk and cheese: you cannot realistically fit an FD lens to an EOS camera.

Your fix is to sell the lens and to buy one with an EOS mount.

I have 400 & 640mm Novoflex lenses latest type I wish to use on Hasselblad 201f (focalplane shutter). First, will these lenses cover the 6X6cm format? Second, what kind of adapter do I need and...

Yes they will. You need a Novoflex HAPRO adapter which can be ordered from your camera store. You may also need a new focus tube if your lens is set up for a 35mm camera as the flange focal length for 35mm is different then for your camera.

I want to use PL filter with DMW-LW 55. Can I

No, there's always going to be a compromise.

In this case you'll find that having the wide-angle converter further from the lens will affect the angle of view a little, but the main effect will be vignetting. All you can do is try it and experiment with different aperture settings to minimise the effect. In any case, you'd be better off in every respect by mounting the DMW-LW55 directly to the adapter, and then mounting the adapter onto the filter. To do otherwise will lead to dreadful colour fringing as the adapter and wide angle converter lenses are optically matched and designed to be a particular distance apart.

I want to add lens to my fujifilm s5600 to take better pics

There are lenses available to add with an adapter ring. I have the wide angle lens (which I LOVE) and a 2x telephoto lens. The wide angle lens allows me to macro from several feet away. It is an amazing lens. The telephoto lens is something you really need to use with a tripod. But yes, there are lenses you can add to your camera.

How to fis additional lens for canon power shot S1 IS

On the lower right side of the lens (as viewed from the rear) is a small button that releases the ring around the lens barrel. Removing the ring reveals a bayonet-style mounting flash that allows you to attach a lens adapter for extended telephoto, wide angle, or macro capabilities. Visit your photographic stockist for info on what is available

Image reduced by dark edges

An adapter tube has to flare out at the end or it will cut the corners off at the wide angle setting. Telephoto should be ok though.

62 size

If you want to add other lenses, either macro, wide angle, telephoto or just filters, they go directly on the adapter. That's why the thread size (62mm) is important because that's the best fit for that adapter. If you get other sizes you can still use them with step rings but that adds to the expense and stepping down can cause vignetting.
