Advices:
Infinity focus position:
The position of the infinity mark [∞] of the telephoto lens or super telephoto lens is shifted slightly to the positive side to enable focus adjustment even when focus shift is caused due to temperature changes. The shift range is denoted by an L-shaped line, Be sure to check the focus through the viewfinder even when you shoot at infinity.
'No Lens Attached' - Warning Message Appears:
The camera needs to be set to function without an E-Mount lens attached. You can do this by changing the following camera setting: 'Menu' -> 'Setup' -> 'Release w/o Lens' -> 'Enable' (Exact naming and location of this option may change depending on camera model). If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, it will stop down to its smallest f/stop by default.
Set camera "release shutter without lens" to enable when using the adapter for the first time, or the camera will fail to recognize the lens and the shutter may not be released.

Used only a few times, but it looks great!
"I've used it too little yet, but it's a truly excellent adapter, nothing like the cheaper ones costing just a few euros. Stable, precise, and without play, it's easy to install and remove.
A truly good product, worth spending a little more for!"

Fits like a charm!
"It was a bit of a snug fit with my NIKKOR 50mm 1.4 but fortunately it has enough clearance that removing the adapter was pretty easy.
The adapter is well built and sturdy I would absolutely get more of these adapters for future NIKKOR lenses!"

Expensive, but it does the job, fits the EOS 500D
There were too many manufacturers to choose from, so I went for something expensive with more features ^_^
Everything is high-quality, screw it on, click it in, done. I like the M42 lenses because you can recognize them immediately,
which makes finding lenses easier, and the adapter works perfectly with my EOS 500D.
Everything is secure, everything is safe, great pictures. It takes a little getting used to because the aperture isn't set in the camera—it has to be adjusted on the lens. Otherwise, everything is as usual. Perfect for beginners.
And then you have an endless selection of nice old lenses.
High-quality adapter (you can expect that for THAT price!) - nice detail: It says M42-EF on the adapter, so you can't go wrong and don't have to search for anything. Other manufacturers should take note: write something on it explaining what it does; that would make life easier for many people..."

Works Perfectly as Described (See photo of release button)
"I purchased this adapter to use a couple of Rokinon lenses for astrophotography on my newer Canon DSLR.
The adapter goes on without effort. Removing can be tricky but at first but removes easily once you identify the release button (see photo). Press the button and rotate clockwise to remove from the lens. There are no instructions provided which would be nice as removal is not intuitive out of the box.
The metal portion is glossy (smooth) which I appreciate. Many adapters have rough (mat) finishes that seem to be rough on the lens mounts.
I would recommend!"

Well made adapter ….
I recently purchased the K & F Concept M42 Mount Adapter to Canon EF Mount, and I am thoroughly impressed. The all-metal construction gives it a premium feel and durability that stands out. It feels solid and well-made, just like most of the items I’ve purchased by K & F Concept. The fit is perfect—smooth and secure, with no play or wobble when attaching lenses. It allows me to use all my vintage M42 lenses seamlessly on my Canon EF camera’s, unlocking new creative possibilities that these vintage lenses provide.
As always, Amazon delivered the item very quickly, and at a competitive price point, this adapter offers excellent value, plus it comes in its own hard case, which is a bonus. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, this is a fantastic addition to your gear. Highly recommended!

Great. I have an old Tamron 500mm mirror lens ...
Great.
I have an old Tamron 500mm mirror lens that I bought in 1985. I had long thought it was now useless. But no! This adapter actually works so I can use it on my Canon EOS 400D camera. I just set the mode to aperture priority and reduce the exposure by one stop and then use as before. (I set the exposure to one stop under because the lens always seemed to work at a 5.6 aperture setting instead of the 8.0 it was meant to be).
So now I have my old lens.

Sturdy adapter
Was recommended this by a photographer friend and can agree, it‘s the best adapter ! Not at all wobbley. Great way to get more use out of some of the excellent OM lenses, that can be found quite inexpensively these days, on a modern camera.

Does not work on a canon 80D
So the description of the product is OK. But I had a look at the reviews and some guy said it works ok with canon 80D as well, so I bought it. It doesn‘t! Should have followed the description of the product! Incompatible with 80D. Returned! Hope it helps! Other than that, the product looks neat!

Don’t forget that it’s a manual lens adapter. Works with full manual lenses. If your lens has no physical aperture ring, you cannot control it from your camera

No Allen wrench comes with the unit and I did not need one. Mine did not require any adjustments and fit like a glove.
