i ordered the 7artisans se-fe adapter because of your vid and i thank you for that. :) i hope you'll make a review of this adapter soon and show the AF performance.

Can you remove the tripod mount from the 7Artisans Adapter or is it permanently on the fixture?

So I just bought a Fringer EF-NZ II. Adapter perfected. Metal body with brass mounts and weather sealing. I use it with a Canon 500mm f4 L IS II and sometimes a 1.4x III on a Nikon Z8.

Thanks for the heads up, Mark!

Reallly love your videos you do the comparisons that I’m looking for all the time. From these adapters to budget lenses. One thing I notice though is that you don’t say the names of the items much. I know you out them in the description for us to find but is there a reason for that? Just curious! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the tip, Mark, I got the 'Good EF to EF-M Adapter' you recommended for my EOS Mark II so that I can use the EF Lens series. I just picked up an awesome lens, the EFS 55-250 mm, and this adapter will be great for that. I also read the reviews and they look good, so that's a plus!

So the adapter which you showing as it is good one was that viltrox or cyruss ? cause in link its showing many brands

thanks for this vedio. Does this adapter work completely in R7?

If you look into the adapters throat that you would put an EF (for an EF to EF-M) lens onto, behind the three lugs, you will see a banana shaped spring-steel element. This makes a good spring-loaded connection with the EF lens. The Viltrox has this type. The bad adapter had the terrible "cut and pry open type". A slice is made into the mount metal and a tapered object is inserted into the gap to force a bulge in the metal. There is not enough elastic tension in this brass or whatever metal and it bends back, making your lens slack on the mount. Most $10 to $20 types are the bad kind. Unusually the Neewer despite being $35 'ish it has the cut type mount tensioner, what were they thinking. Hope this helps. I have cheap teleconverters from 30 years ago that used the bad tensioner method. I cannot believe they still use that technique today for the sake of a few cents. 🤨

Have you tested the 'Xuerebs'. I actually ordered the Viltrox, and I didn't notice but the company actually sent me this brand, I don't know by accident, or on purpose, or perhaps they are exactly the same. They look the same. However, I'm having some problems, and I am currently testing to see if it's my adapter that's the problem. (but that's a deeper subject, that I can elaborate on later, when I have more data...)

Do you know any adapters for amount to e mount that have the ability to do the electronic auto focus that isnt going to breal the bank?

What are the best Canon lenses to get for this adapter? I see you have the 50mm 1.8

I am considering switching from Nikon to Sony. I have collected over a dozen Nikon lenses over the last 50 years. So, is there a good Nikon AF and AF S lenses to a Sony camera mirrorless E mount?

I'm not surprised that 7Artisans is doing a decent job - their lenses are exceptional for the price - they know what they're doing. You've raised a couple of points I have to go look at with my adapters. Thanks! Lastly - something else - I've also found adapters are fairly careless about reflection control. Just relying on black anodizing or black plastic seems common. I'm going to grab some of that super-absorbent black paint - I think it'll improve the performance of the adapters significantly.

Always test the adaptor carefully. With e-mount the contacts are often a problem and get pushed in too far. Once that happens you need to take apart the camera and back the spring pads. Fix this by taking off the metal ring of the adaptor and back it with some plastic sheets until it fits better. With a loose connection you can carefully bang the wings on the disassembled ring to make it tighter. Btw even some of my high quality lenses have matte rings, my guess is your high polish one might even be chrome which could get bad with age.

What is the all plastic one you used to recommend? I'm only adapting the HOLGA HL-C Canon DSLR Holga lens you mentioned in another video so surely a cheap plastic one will be ok?

Just a bit of a technical note.... the "unpolished" mounts are not only unpolished, but not plated. In other words, raw aluminum. The "polished" mounts are not only polished, but plated which gives them their shiny appearance. The raw aluminum will shed just a little bit of itself... that blasted finish coarseness will begin to wear. And where do the bits go? Right inside your camera body, to the shutter, and to the sensor. Or into the lens. AVOID ANY UNPLATED (unpolished) MOUNTS LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Excellent advice 👌

Thanks for the tip! looking to adapt cine EF to E mount, does it distinguish between EF non Canon lenses or are they all good?

The best performing adapter I had is the fringer eos-fx autofocus adapter, focuses even faster than my 5Ds on XT-3 with the same lenses, but it wobbles a little bit when I use 70-200mm f2.8 II. However, fringer’s Nikon g to fx adapter only works when there’s enough light, and it’s slow, even with some of Nikon’s fastest focusing lenses, nearly unusable for video. Viltrox’s build quality is undoubtedly the best as third party, but it works terribly on my XT-3, autofocus is almost unusable, and it’s nearly useless with some old EF lenses with manual focus, because it changes its focus point by itself even if turned af off on both the lens and the body, terrible experience. I assume it would work fine with lenses that autofocusing is broken. I also have to point out that some of the third party auto adapters may break your camera body’s chips, I heard it from a Panasonic dealer. However, some of the most expensive adapters produced by the same company as the camera body are the most reliable and rugged ones, and if it did harm to your camera body, you can go for the customer service. That’s all my personal experience and opinion, hope it can help.

Have you tried the Viltrox EF-E5 adapter? Seems like a good option too. Not too many videos or reviews of it. I'm about to change from my Canon to Sony and I need adapter for at least some time to use my Canon L lenses at Sony body. It would be too expensive to change them all at once to Sony equivalent lenses and if it works well I might not even need change all of them.

What adapter would you recommend for a Pentax k1000 35mm lens to a Fujifilm xt4?

BTW love your videos - especially on the cheap but very good lenses.

Does the artisan works well for video???

ok amazon ITALY, 7artisans EF-SE hasn't any feedback, I see that there are other adapters like K&F Concept EF/EF-S to E Mount that have 4,5 stars reviews and another of VILTROX EF-NEX IV that has 4 stars... anyway all have some issue about some compatibility and slow autofocus sometimes. They also are more expansive than 7artisans EF-SE do you think that 7artisans EF-SE is the best from all ?

Hi, could you please recommend a ring lens adapter for Sigma F2.8 100mm and Nikon 24 70mm F2.8E ED VR to mount a nikon f mount camera.

Thanks for all the info + video.

I love your reviews. They are honest and very informative. Bravo.

Does everything work with auto focus etc? Have Canon EF Lenses and want typ buy a sony zv-e10

hello everyone i need help. i have nikon and i have sony a7iii. i am planning to buy sigma lens for my d800 nikon macro lens it is less cheaper than buying sony macro. can you pls tell me if ever you have this kind of body and you want to use it on your sony. which adapter shall i buy and with affordable price..

I have a canon eos R50 camera, i want ti buy a adapter to a ef lens, what do you recomend?pls replay meeee

I know everyone mentions it but Viltrox makes a good EF-M adapter that I have been using without any issues for a while now. The metal isn't polished like Mark recommends here but feels solid and there isn't any wiggle or gaps and the construction feels solid.

Thanks! You may have saved my camera. I bought one from a different well respected manufacturer. The lens side was so tight it was actually grinding against the lens mount when being attached. The camera side locked and the adapter worked, but there was significant play allowing the camera to move in respect to the adapter. I bought the good one that you looked at and that fits perfectly.

Can you recommend some good adapters for a Nikon D7200 that I can purchase, please.

What adapter do you recommend for ef -fx , besides fringer adapter 😅

just bought meike some couples of week ago, as it is popular enough in my country besides viltrox. especially if you are looking for dslr to canon m. and meike is usually cheaper one. is it good adapter? i m not sure since mainly i m not enough into camera things. should i keep it or switch to other ones? thx anyone

I shoot real estate and was wondering if the Nikon 14-24 2.8 would be too heavy to mount on my A7iv?

I have two "Commlite" adapters. One sort-of went bad. I started getting lens errors on my camera, but when I switched it to another lens it worked perfectly. It's hard to recommend the Canon brand costing 400% more, but if you have the budget I would say it's a good idea. I now have a second Commlite brand that's working fine over the past year, but if it fails I'll most likely switch brands.

Is there an adapter to where I can put a sigma 24-70 e mount onto a canon m50 ef-m mount?

Excellent video. What about the ones with ND filters built in? Those are very important for video applications. Can we just go by company/brand name? Thanks.

Hey. Please gimmi the name of the good adapter ! Thx

Both of my Meike's (the one with control ring and the one with ND Filter) had the screws come loose and my camera body fell off onto the pavement (TWICE). Thank goodness I had a SmallRig cage on my R7. I still have the Meike's, but I removed every screw and put permanent Locktight adhesive on them. So far, so good.

I have an Andoer EF to EF-M adapter that no one should ever get. The screws eventually get loose. Not only did this often disrupt the electronic connection between AF lenses and the camera, when they got loose enough, but there was a very real danger of the screws popping out during disassembly and dropping into the sensor. Switched to a Viltrox along with a speed booster and never had any issues since.

Hello mark I am one of your ardent subscriber 😍. I have Nikon F mount lens and need to be connected to canon M50 mark ii. i found an adaptor Nikon-EOS M from K&F concept manually operated with infinity focus . is it safe to use ? will it damage my canon m50 mark ii . appreciate your kind advise please

I keep seeing ads for the $199 Canon EF-RF adapter with the control ring. Is it worth the price?

I need a MFT to EF cuz my Ursa Min 4.6K is EF and I want a Sirui 35mm f/1.8 Anamorphic 1.33x Lens but I'm afraid to buy it what if i can't find an adapter. Is there an adapter MFT to EF?

I was looking for the EF-RF adapter that had the drop-in filters. 7artisans doesn't seem to make one. Meike's is all metal. And the variable ND filter by Canon is garbage, shifting to a distinct blue tint at -3, unusable by -4.

I have a adapter that you recommend one. When I using with that adapter, although I'm not touching shutter button, but auto focus is tracking. Is that normal?

What camera and lenses are these adapters are used for!?

Does anyone know that once you use that adapter for the cannon lens to Sony body if that then means you have to go into crop mode or can you use the cannon lens in full frame mode on like the a7iii for example

The amount of useful videos I am finding from you and your quality is crazy. How you only have 23k is wild.

Is there a RF to EOS-M adapter? Im looking for a cheap 10mm F2 or F2.8 but there is no M mount available.

What is the best adapter for canon m50 mark ii ?

Sir ,I want to buy an adapter in india.can u mention some adapter in india and plz mention some inexpensive wide lens like 11mm sony lens for zve10(wide angle)

I bought the canon adapter for EF to EF-M. Now I want to get either the Sigma 150-600 contemporary or 60-600 sport lens and a speed booster. Have you looked at either of these lenses with the M50? I found one video with the combo but that’s it. Would love your opinion on this as well as a good speed booster to get with it.

Canon EF to Hasselblad V lens ideal brand?

can we use this adpter for r50 canon i need adpter lens momint sigma for eos r50

I've had a Viltrox ef to efm adapter for a year now. I do use it a lot! Isn't that what they are for. I am now finding that i have the same problems with movement between the lens and the mount. And not just a small amount. I am now going back to a Canon genuine ef to efm adapter (which i see you don't compare in this video, strangely). So not a complete review in my opinion

I want to say about unpolished mounts. Back in the days of film you would apply a cotton dubbed with a small amount of precision oil to lubricate the Mount. Same thing applies today on your camera lens and camera mount. So unpolished Mount is never an issue

My canon EOS m200 won't power on. I put new fully charge battery, new sd card. The SD card slot door and battery door sensors both work, the green light flashes for a quick second when I close them. But no power when I try to turn I on. It turned on yesterday for 5 minutes and took 2 photos, and never turned on again. Any advice will help

I own the sigma mc-11 adapter and have had success with a tokina 11-16mm f2.8 lens, but I just bought an older sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro lens and when I put it on the adapter two issues arrise, first if the AF is set to on it does not work but the af motor runs constantly, works fine if i turn off the af and run MF. The other issue is the Aperture does not seem to work it seems to be in f2.8, If I put the camera in manual mode it will not work, if I put it in A mode then I can set things and the camera will adjust the speed but it honestly does not look like it is changing the aperture in the lens. Online I read some review stating that these older sigma lenses had issues with newer canon cameras. I tried it on a friends 5D and it just gave an error message. Do you think there is a chance that the 7 Artisans adapter might let it work correctly as it really is a nice Macro lens

Optical stabilisation will work?

What’s the best adapter for canon eos r50?!

Having used 4/3 and M43 cameras since their beginning I can say that I have also used lens adaptors for the same period. Something canon and nikon users are relatively new to. I agree with your comments generally but not so much about buying the $49 one over the $24 one. Why? well you answered that yourself in the video. You got one good one and one bad one. The cheap one was reasonable and you queried the longevity of it. Well, if its life is half its still cheaper. As for the matt finish the metal used would be more important than having a matt finish. Also a black anodised flange coupling reduces any chance of reflections internally so chrome is not so good other than the actual mating surface. And also and quite critical the contact pins MUST be well finished smooth and depressable with ease or you will cause fatal rips to the lens or camera connections.

Thank you for your video, I recently purchased the Vivitar 20mm f3.8, for my Olympus OM-D E-M1 ii-- I'm trying to find the appropriate mount adapter. If anyone can help with suggestions that will be great. The product number on this glass begins with 2200. Thank you!

I just bought a Sigma MC-11 adapter. It was a mistake. It seemed like it might not do well with non Sigma lenses based on some of the comments I was reading but the Adorama rep said they thought it would work for my purposes. I have had good luck with Sigma and with the Adorama recommendation I decided to buy it. Results: Works fine with my Sigma 18-250 mm zoom and my Sigma 150-600 Sport zoom. It came up as non compatible with my Canon 50 mm f1.4 . The autofocus didn't work and there may have been other issues. It also came up as incompatible with my Canon 65mm macro lens. Autofocus wasn't an issue since the Canon 65mm doesn't have autofocus, but it seemed to be struggling to take pictures which maybe should have been expected since the compatibility LED says it's not compatible. I was surprised at how inexpensive some of the adapters that were discussed in this video are. The Metabones adapter which is what I thought I'd buy now is about $400. Can the best of the less expensive adapters do what the Metabones can?

Newer puts their name on random batches of stuff from several different factories, so there's no real consistency across the brand. You can order the same thing a few months later and get a product that superficially resembles the last one you bought but is made to entirely different tolerances.

Anyone knows if the Andoer Adapter is a good one? Im Thinking of buying it

You should take a look at the K&F adaptors. They are very well made. Just bought 3 types ; LM - EOS-M , LM - Micro4/3 and LM - EOS R mount. All works perfectly.

Hey Mark! Im really enjoying all your videos for the M50/ii. I recently purchased (online) a used M50ii and am trying to figure out what lenses I should get. I currently have the kit lens. I figure Id like a zoom lens (For taking photographs of my daughter when she is on stage for school events.)(considering a Canon EF 70-300mm , 75-300mm f4-5.6 or Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6), a good all around general prime lens and maybe the Canon EF-M macro lens. I have a budget so buying used/cheap but still decent quality is my goal. So I figured buying an adapter and buying EF lenses would give me even more (and affordable) options. However I noticed that the adapter you recommended, 7artisans EF-EOS M Lens Adapter calls itself a "speedbooster". Is that just click bait/trick theyve used so people think it's like the Viltrox speedbooster adapter? How do I know which lenses are good for certain types of situations/subjects? It makes it hard to know which lenses I should get. Im more interested in photography than video (nothing beyond casual family events). I'm interested in photographing a little bit of everything, online selling misc items/clothing, family/events, pets, possibly wildlife/flowers. Do you have any suggestions for a decent white or black fabric or paper roll backdrop? I've been looking on Amazon but they all look the same and it's hard to trust reviews. Thanks so much!

Thank you very much!

Can anyone tell me if Fotodiox adapters are any good?

If there is 7Artisans EF to EOS M and Viltrox EF to EOS M too, what should I buy?

I bought a Metabones Leica M to MFT adapter a month or so back. I had to send it back. It was impossible to mount the lens onto the adapter and the adapter onto the camera without considerable force. Yes, I did read the ' explanation ' about why these adapters are so tight, but sorry I couldn't buy it. Adapters are supposed to be snug, and not a friction fit. I wrote this to say that even these so called expensive adapters foul up.

Just looking at my Neewer with CPL built in, to see if it’s polished or not. It’s not. It’s machined. However! My R50 is EXACTLY the same finish on the mating surface of the body - machined, NOT polished. So is your point still valid? At the lens end, the EF-S 55-250mm I have on at the moment is plastic against the machined alloy of the Neewer. There is also zero wobble on all the parts when assembled (for those who might be considering the one with the CPL built in).

Is this works for canon r50?

And about the tripo ring ?

None of the information presented is really conclusive of anything. It is not even clear how the 'bad' adapter will break your camera. 1. Obviously harder metals will always scratch softer metals. The mount on a Canon body is usually brass plated with nickel. You cannot automatically conclude that the matte metal mount on the adapter is hard enough to scratch the body mount. It most likely is made of a cheap, softer metal. 2. Just because a mount looks shiny and polished doesn't mean it is better. For all we know, the shine is just a thin layer of chrome plating on soft metal. Given the price point, the thin, brittle chrome is more likely to peel and chip off leaving small shards of chrome in the body.

okay so I am about to purchase a Blackmagic pocket camera and I have sony lenses. would one of these work or which would you recommend?

I’m using a Sigma M11 to use a canon lenses on Sony A7C and it works great except no continuous af in video mode. Not a problem though as I use a Sony 24-105 f4 G OSS on the main A7C.

Hi, such a good video thank you so much, however i bought the 7 artisans for a sony e mount alpha zve1 and now i have a little problem, i can´t adjust the diaphragm of my canon ef lenses, i saw that some other people had the same problem but the other day i saw a man who has it with some ef lenses and he could use them perfectly... nowadays i can just run it whith my samyang 14 mm f2.8, do you know how to solve it? thank you

Oh, and this may surprise you, but Nikon doesn’t polish or chrome-plate their lens mounts. They're machined to a "satin" finish. Machining is a high tolerance operation: plating and polishing destroy that high tolerance.

what lens did you use in your ef-se adapter? i bought the 7artisans ef-se adapter but it only works on EF-S lenses. AF doesn't work on my EF lens. do you know how to solve this? i already ask them about this but no answer on my query yet.

I noticed the EF to RF adapter you recommended in this video is different from the one you recommended in the RP vs R7 video a few weeks ago. Would you consider the one in this video the preferred one?

I've got a Viltrox Adaptor but after getting a Superzoom lens recently I noticed it's perfectly snug.

I have a Sony 70-200mm F4 G lens and that DOES NOT have a polished mount and neither do my other two Sony lenses so that is a spurious argument. I use Urth and K&F Concept adaptors both of which have black anodised metal connectors, which at a glance could be mistaken for plastic.

Have had a used metabones EF/m43 speedbooster for several years. Fits very snug lens and camera body with ease to apply and remove; even with one hand and the camera mounted. After years of use, works like I bought it yesterday. Recently purchased a Viltrox speedbooster for a backup microCinema Camera EF/m43 and do not recommend this adapter. I’ve used it twice and it’s a disappointment. Although good reviews, it works great once adapted, but is rough to put on and remove. Definitely need two hands and feels like I’m forcing it on/off. I feel after a while it will damage the metal connectors on the camera body and all of my lenses The metabones is SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive, but recommend that brand over all, for the longevity of my camera body and lenses. To me the few hundred more dollars in a quality adapter is far less expensive than camera body repairs and new lenses

Please help me. What adapter should I buy for my Canon EF 50mm 1.8 lens for mounting to my Nikon D7100/Nikon D7200/Nikon D800? Thank you in advance. 🇵🇭😍

Just to add feedback on one more product experience in case its of interest to viewers - I bought and tried the Fringer EF to Z mount, hoping to adapt my quality Canon lenses to a newly purchased Nikon Z6ii. Connections and focusing seemed to work fine. But, the image stabilization systems of the lens and bodies couldn't seem to get along/communicate. The net result was no image stabilization. Also, has anyone used the Sigma MC-11 to adapt Canon EF to Sony E? Mark, I've just come across your channel. Thanks for delving into this product area.

Sony a6700 sadly not supported. No video autofocus, and i can't even change the aputure in M mode. i hope they fix it with firmware soon

Well explained

Add Neewer to the bad list. I bought the EF to RF for my R7, it lost contact so often as I zoomed in or out. I missed so many pictures of cut many videos short thanks to it. I used it for all of a day, and went official Canon...once I found one, out of stock everywhere.

efm adapter are quite cheap so its worth it to just buy the more expensive one, but start looking into adapting canon ef to m43 or fuji x then the price gap becomes massive anywhere from 50 to over 300 buy the cheap one n see if you like the combination and if youre ok with the added bulk and then decide if the expensive one is worth it

Thanks!

“I have a tamaron xr diii af 18-200mm 3.5-6.3 (if) macro a14 for nikon. What lens converter should I use for my sony a6500 camera? ”

i wish you’d name them. your links don’t work for me in Mexico :(

What adapter can I get for my sony A6000? I want something with good autofocus speed. Thanks!

I wish you had put the model you were talking about. I have the viltrox EF to E mount adapter which is rubbish. Terrible vignetting, and yes, not polished, as well losing contact. I also find light is behaving differently within the adapter, as I am seeing blooming 'beside' light sources. Just letting people know on every EF lens I use, awful vignetting.

When you're right, you're right. I am having all of the problems you speak of and will be sending it back. It won't read my 50mil at all and 18-200 is intermittent. But you are also right about NEEWER as a company, I have bought several pieces of kit over the last few years and they have all been good and reliable. Everyone deserves a non starter now and then.

Sir , is it will work fine with canon efs 55-250 mm lens on Sony a 6100 ❤
