Photographer's Agency: Aspects of Manual Lenses for Canon Cameras Manual lenses can come in handy when a photographer is shooting a close-up with a telephoto lens, trying to capture the image of a subject in motion, or focusing on a subject in low light.

What types of focal lengths and types are available? The lens is shown on a digital SLR camera. How to use old manual lenses on a Canon system? Very simple, to install an old manual lens on a Canon camera you need to find out what mount bayonet the lens is designed for. Basically, there are not so many types of fastening, this is the good old M42 thread, N mount and M39 thread.

This adapter is screwed onto the lens thread, and then the lens is mounted on the camera. All Canon cameras will automatically measure exposure. Moreover, it will be possible to shoot in any mode of the camera, even in automatic mode, although the aperture will need to be changed manually. It is very convenient to use the semi-automatic aperture priority mode AV mode.

Attention 1. When using the usual adapter M42 - Canon EOS without a chip on the camera focus confirmation will not work. This means that you have to focus completely on the eye. To solve this problem, you can buy an adapter with a chip.

The chip is also called dandelion, less often Lushnikov dandelion. In the dandelion, you can program the focal length of the lens and the aperture value you can not do this. Because in EXIF all images of the lens will be indicated on the received images possibly, except for the focusing distance. You can buy a dandelion separately and attach it to an adapter or buy an adapter with a dandelion right away.

Attention 2. The parameters set in the dandelion the sewn focus and aperture values practically do not affect the operation of focus confirmation, but affect the measurement exposure. An adapter for lenses with a M42 mounting thread can be mounted on Canon EOS digital cutting cameras buy from this link.

Super-Takumar 1: 1. Lens made in Japan. Lens with a thread mount can be attributed a very, very many lenses. For example, the Heliosm-X family of lenses, some of the Jupiter lenses, some of the Industar lenses and others. A striking example is the Heliosm-2 and Industar lenses. Yes, the N mount is the same as the Nikon system. Similarly, there is an adapter with and without dandelion. You can read more about this adapter. Pay attention that lenses with M39 thread are available from two types of cameras - SLR and mirrorless.

For normal operation on the Canon system, only lenses from SLR cameras with M39 thread are suitable, for example, such as Helios, white jupiter Lenses from rangefinder cameras can only be used in macro mode, in more detail here. If you don't mount a lens on the multiplier that says "hey, I'm a canon EOS compatible lens", the camera body gets upset and refuses to work! In fact if you just mount the multiplier and try to take a shot, you'll find the camera will refuse or report an error condition.

It wants to see an EOS lens on there. If you have a manual focus lens on an adapter with a focus confirmation chip built in, things should be OK. The lens then tells the multiplier and camera that it's OK and it's a compatible lens, which makes the camera happy again and it will work. If you use a multiplier safe for the lens in the original lens mount, e. The camera body doesn't mind in this case because there's no intermediate Canon multiplier telling the camera body to expect a Canon lens.

If all else fails and you have a lens mounted on a canon multiplier and the camera won't fire, you can slightly dismount the multiplier by rotating it a small amount as though you were removing it from the camera.

This disrupts the communication between the multiplier and the camera and the camera is happy again. Just don't rotate the multiplier too far or it will fall off the camera! The lens detection Microswitch On some EOS bodies there is a small microswitch in the lensmount which must not be tripped by any attached lens or lens adapter in order for the camera body to work.

If an adapted manual focus lens trips this microswitch, the camera body them looks for a valid EF series lens to be attached. If it doesn't see the correct electrical connection the the camera body thinks there is an error condition and will not operate. I've never been able to find an official list of which bodies have this switch and which don't. Some, possibly all, EOS film bodies have it.

I know the EOS-3 does for example. If you have one of the bodies with this microswitch and your adapted lens causes the camera to freeze you have to remove a small part of one of the bayonet flanges in order to avoid tripping the switch. Either that or do not lock the adapter completely in the EOS mount. If you don't fully rotate it so that it "clicks" into place it won't trip the switch. Of course the adapter is them not fully locked onto the camera, so you need to be careful not to accidentally allow the lens to part company with the camera!

A mechanical adapter which allows a lens to be mounted on an EOS body and focused to infinity is only possible if the lens is designed to focus an image at a distance greater than that between a standard EF series lens and the sensor in the EOS body. This is because you need some space for the mechanical adapter between the EOS body and the lens. If the lens is designed to focus an image at a shorter distance then an EOS EF lens, then the manual focus lens would have to be put inside the EOS body!

The distance from the mounting flange on the back of the lens to the film or digital sensor is known as the "Flange Back", or the "Flange to Focal Plane" distance, or sometimes as the "Flange to Film" distance. Here's a list of flange-to-focal-plane distances.

For all Canon EOS cameras it is This enables in theory lens adapters to be constructed for the lenses shown in green below. Lenses shown in red which includes all Canon FD and earlier lenses cannot be mounted on an EOS body and still reach infinity focus without some intermediate optics.

In addition, since medium format lenses are normally located much further from the film than 35mm lenses, it should be possible to mount just about any medium format lens on an EOS body via a suitable adapter. Adapters are available for Hasselblad, Pentacon-6, Kiev, Mamiya , Pentax and Pentax 67 lenses and all should focus to infinity without a problem. The only exception might be a few superwide lenses which require the camera mirror to be locked up for use. Mechanical Lens Adapters no optics required Mechanical adapters i.

If all else fails, Cameraquest have most adapters, but their prices are high. Another place to look is Ebay, where there are many people selling inexpensive adapters made in China. Their quality varies, but the price is usually right. Though it looks like Pentax K-mount lenses should be adaptable to an EOS body if you just consider the flange to focal plane distance of PK lenses, it turns out that the diaphragm coupling lever which sticks out from the back of the lens causes problems.

On most EOS bodies you would have to remove this lever. There's is more room inside the EF-S capable body and the reflex mirror of APS-C sensor cameras is smaller, so there's less chance of interference. Some claim that they will work with any EOS body, not mentioning any modification of the lens, but I'd be suspicious of such claims. The following adapters are known to exist. Others may exist, this is not an exclusive list. The first is fully manual, so you can manually adjust the aperture at any time.

These lenses can be used with any M42 adapter. The second type of M42 lens has a pin, which when depressed, closes down the aperture. This is designed for use on cameras to allow automatic focusing with the lens wide open but stopped down to the desired aperture when a shot is taken. For the type of lens with a pin, the adapter has to be designed to depress the tin in order for you to have manual aperture control. The exception to this is that some lenses with the pin also have an auto-manual switch.

These lenses can be used with adapters that don't depress the pin if they are switched into Manual aperture control mode. Lens adapters with Optics Canon FD to EOS adapter containing optics to enable infinity focus Lenses with mounts shown in the table above in red would not be able to focus to infinity without optics in an adapter.

While purely mechanical adapters are possible, and in fact are available, lenses mounted via such adapters would not be able to focus to infinity. The focus limit for each lens would be different and could range between anything from a few feet to a few tens of yards.

Adapters with optics are available for a number of lens mounts, including Canon FD lenses, often at fairly low cost. The problem is that the optics in these lenses are rarely equal to the optics in the lenses and so image quality suffers. In addition they also act as weak multipliers, so your excellent 50mm FD lens might become an average 70mm or 80mm lens when mounted on an EOS body via an inexpensive optical adapter unless it's stopped way down.

The following optical adaptors are known to exist it's a short list!
