When I hook a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II to the adapter, the Canon EOS-M camera keeps generating noise from the focus ring. Is this normal? "Problem solved" by setting the Continuous AF to disable from the camera. (But is this correct? Or the adapter is...

This is due to the 50mm f/1.8 lens having the old style focusing motor, not USM. It is not the lens adapter causing this noise. For lenses like this I recommend manually focusing.

You have to use the "manual" setting on the camera when using the adapter. All other camera settings are non-operational. I don't know what kind of lens you are using with the adapter, but with a fixed f-stop lens, you have to change your iso setting in the camera to compensate for light conditions. Hope this helps!

Ed. It's really hard for me to ascertain what the problem is from your inquiry. Are you having a hard time moving the focus ring forward and back? The one on my Tokina moves smoothly and locks into place with a nice snap. You jut pull the ring toward you when you want manual focus and push away from the camera for auto focus.

I just got my G9 yesterday, and noticed the noise as well. I read your posts and figured it was probably not a big deal. But I decided to call Canon, and they confirmed that it is the IS mechanism. To get rid of the noise change the IS Mode (under the tab with a picture of camera on the Menu) from continuous to single. Hope this helps.

I have to return mine, 'cause there was this "shifting" of the image in the viewfinder when pressing the shutter half-way down. I've learned that it is the autofocus locking-in on the target or subject and maybe that is the "clicking" sound that your hearing. I have a Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC and 70-200mm f/2.8 VC in Nikon mount and I dont have this issue. Anyway I decided to return it because the "shifting" of the image is too visible for me and feel like the QC is subpar on this lens.Hope this help.

Try putting your camera in manual mode. AF doesn't work with this adapter, so use it as a manual focus.

For some reason, Canon seems to use FULL TIME Continuous AF - which is active even when you're not touching anything - and turned it on by default. Very annoying feature. I didn't realize this either until I popped on a noisy EF lens and it just wouldn't stop auto-focusing. I suspect Canon decided this would somehow make the camera "easier to use".

This is an adaptor that screws on the end of a standard lens. I have this adaptor mounted on a Canon 18-55 "kit lens". I used the step up rings included to screw it into the 58mm filter threads. At 18mm it produces the traditional "fish eye" effect with a round circle. As the lens is zoomed the effect lessens. After about 28mm there is little effect.

I use this adapter with lenses that already have aperture rings and it works just fine. You just need to keep the aperture on the adapter open all of the way. It might be beneficial to just go ahead and buy this adapter instead of a passive adapter in case you want to invest in newer canon glass.

I haven't heard this noise on my lens when focusing. Are your images affected in any way?

The auto focus will not work. You must focus it manually. It is my understanding that the reason is because a Canon lens pulls power from the camera battery to work. So since there is basically a divider between the lens and camera with the adapter in place, it will not work. I understand that a company by the name of Red Rock makes an adapter for this, but it is expensive compared to this and it's also quite large in size. After seeing the large size of it and price, I didn't pursue it.

Hi, unfortunately Canon has created a new mirrorless lens mount standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF-M_lens_mount). They produce an adapter for the EF mount standard which works best with EF-S lenses (x1) and ok with EF lenses (x1.6 due to the sensor size). If by "F mount" you FD mount then you could try buying an EF-M to EF/EF-S mount and buy and FD to EF lens adaptor (search for "fd to ef lens adaptor" on amazon) then use them together. I have not tried this and would interested in the results.Cheers,JP

Yes it will so long as you have a M42 or "screw mount" lens. My advice is to keep it clean. I often leave the adapter on my lens & use the EOS rear lens cap but once a month i take the adapter off and clean it cause it gathers gunk. That said, great buy if you can handle more old school style manual aperture & focus with no confirmation of focus on your camera. Hope that long winded answer helps.

It did NOT work for me i had to turn around and purchase this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003EB0AXY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1423098477&sr;=8-1&keywords;=canon+fd+to+ef+lens+adapter&dpPl;=1&dpID;=41gbuytPJPL&ref;=plSrchπ=AC_SY200_QL40 as it wouldnt focus. Click the link i now have that one and the difference is there is glass on the one with the link and not with the one you are asking about. Hope that helps

The problem I have is that the Fotodiox lens Adapter is locked onto my Canon lens and i can't remove it. I would appreciate some instruction on how to resolve this problem. I can't used my lens on my canon camera.

The ring locks in with just a quarter turn onto the Canon lens. There's just the tiniest amount of play after it locks in, and that seems reasonable to me. It's easier if you first screw a filter onto the adapter, then the hood onto the filter, then that assembly onto the camera. Feels plenty secure to me.
