Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a few lenses from my film kit that I wanted to use with my Pentax K20D, so I picked up this adapter.
Tried it on my Sigma zoom lens, and with a little effort managed to get it working. I detached the lens, which left the adapter still attached to the camera body - not ideal, but the torque applied whilst turning the lens overcame the threaded lens-adapter coupling rather than the adapter-camera coupling. The adapter was pretty tight but I eventually managed to remove it with the releasing tool (the flat object seen in the item picture).
I put the adapter on one of my prime lenses hand-tight, but for some reason the adapter would no longer attach to the camera. I have examined in every-which way to figure out why - even removing the spring clip, but it won't attach. What's worse is that the adapter is now stuck to my prime lens - making it useless! I have tried penetrating oil, locking it in a vice etc. but nothing has worked. The ring has very little purchase on it when you want to remove it by hand.
Disappointing, and I put it down to poor engineering rather than my ineptitude.
