Novoflex Canon FD to Micro Four Thirds Lens Adapter

Comments about Novoflex Canon FD to Micro Four Thirds Lens Adapter:

Novoflex Canon FD to Micro Four Thirds Lens Adapter - I got this adapter to go with my Lumix GH2K. It's a bit pricey for ring of metal, but it's precision made and fits snug to the camera and to my lenses. You could go cheaper, but I've read the horror stories and didn't want to risk dinging up my new camera or f/1.2 lenses. It's a quality product. If you can afford it, you won't go wrong.[...] I've ordered equipment from B&H for years; you won't find a more reputable company.

Very solid product and I use it on one of my GH2's for my all my FD lenses. I decided not to go for the much lesser expensive adaptor after reading several reviews about those becoming loose or not secure enough. This is a well made very secure product that fits the camera and lenses perfectly!

I can attach all of my old 35mm FD lenses to my new digital video camera.

In moving from a depth of field adapter to the micro four thirds system with Panasonic to shoot video, I purchased this product to keep using my Canon FD lenses. It works like a charm with a tight fit. While you give up the flexibility of getting your camera to talk to the lenses, at least I don't have to pitch the lenses. This little product provides the bridge. Other than wishing for a less expensive product, at least it works.

Great product! It does exactly what it is designed to do. My FD lenses fit nice & tight as if they were mounting on my old AT-1. I can focus right to the infinity stop without going past it. My lenses take fine shots with excellent resolution. Now, with my Lumix GF-1 and its crop factor of 2, my Canon 50mm f1.4 lens and this adapter, I have the equivalent of a 100mm f1.2 portrait lens with sweet smooth bokeh and reliable focusing. Worth every penny for worry free reuse of fine lenses.

Just remember to RTFM. FD lenses mount with a back & forth rotation in order to engage their automatic aperture stud & let you stop down. Very important and necessary for all FD lens adapters from anyone,but the way it's handled on the Novoflex is well marked & solid as a rock.

Works exactly as it's supposed to. Provides a very easy and effective way to mount Canon FD lenses onto a Micro Four Thirds camera while maintaining the ability to adjust the focus and aperture.

Comments about Novoflex Canon FD to Micro Four Thirds Lens Adapter:

Had an $35 "knockoff" adapter, which was OK for the money. What I did not like about the adapter was the apaeture could be changed with adapter's split ring, not just the normal stops on the lens. Sometimes you got the wrong exposure because of this. Secondly, somewhat complex to mount; Finally, it would roll PAST infinity with Canon FD 135 f1.8 and FD 200 F2/8. The result was it took too long to set up shots.
I did head-to-head with the Novoflex yesterday and have to say Novoflex cures all these problems. It's very high quality too, solid lockup to camera with no play. For that I give it five stars.
One star debited because a chunk of metal should not cost more than the lenses mentioned.

These days cheaply produced lens mount adapters are all-to-common. The Novoflex is solidly made. Canon FD lenses lock tightly & easily but just as important, release upon demand. This adapter delivers what I ask for in a lens mount adapter!

Comments about Novoflex Canon FD to Micro Four Thirds Lens Adapter:

This adapter does exactly what it's supposed to do.

All my FD primes fit on the micro four thirds mount and align well.

There is no play at all between the lens and adapter nor between the adaptor and camera mount.

Easy mount and dismount of lenses to adapter.

Simple and solid.obviously no software or electronics involved.Good for me as I dont need or want Auto iris control from camera.(will be using on Panasonic Af100)

Having shopped around and tried a couple of Chinese made adaptors (which I had to return) I finally decided to spend a few extra bucks on the Novoflex adaptor and I'm happy to report it's well worth the investment. It's solid as a rock and precisely engineered. Lens locks in place firmly and securely on both ends. Made to last a lifetime. For anyone interested (as I am) in dusting off those classic Canon FD and FL lenses for use with modern DSLR's, this a very good investment. A+

This product really allowed me to use my existing cannon FD lenses with confidence on my new Olympus Ep1. Its very well built, with precise machining. worth the money. [...]

Just received the LUMIX GH1 (Panasonic), and with this adapter, I'm using my "old" Canon "Legacy" lenses (85mm F1.2 "L", 300 F2.8 "L", 35mm F2.8 T/S,
15mm F2.8 Fisheye, and the quality of stills and HD
even 60fps is amazing! You do have to have a "kit"
lens on the body to change the "custom" setting to "manual focus with lens off" (I had to email Novoflex but the response was quick)
