    Customers are satisfied with the macro lens. They mention that it produces great macro shots at a price that anyone can afford. The lens works very well, giving nice sharp images. It gives you awesome possibilities to take really great pictures. The flash photography renders unbelievably crisp photos from a tripod mounting by creating direct light. Customers are also surprised by the quality of the images, saying that all pictures came out with proper exposures. They also mention that macro photography with this is fun and moderately flexible.

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the camera lenses. Some mention that it's simple enough to use once they understand how it works, and the instructions are clear. However, others say that the instructions leave a lot to be desired, the release lever is small and awkward to use, and it'd be difficult to mount the lens on this adapter.

    Customers find the focus of the camera lenses to be difficult to achieve. They mention that there is no autofocus, the focusing screen does not have any focusing aids, and the manual focus with a vintage lens is tricky. They also say the focus range is small and the infinity focus is fuzzy. Some customers also report issues with the focus chip and the focus confirm chips are not all that accurate.

    A useful adapter, with a few issues
    This review is of the "Standard" Nikon F to Canon EOS EF adapter sold by Fotodiox. As with any of these adapters the "automatic" lens features are disabled, and with digital cameras the "35mm equivalent" focal length is increased, by about 50% on the camera I have, due to the image sensor being smaller than a 35mm frame. But it allows Nikon-mount lenses to be used on a Canon EOS camera, and while I confirmed some problems noted in the 1-star reviews, this adapter isn't expensive, and the severity of the problems likely varies between examples. The one I got worked for my purpose, which was to attach a lens I had on hand to test a camera body I found "bin-diving" at a local emporium.I am grateful for the reviews noting the "loose screw" issue with the release lever for the Nikon lens. Checking the screw on my example, it not only allowed the lever to move sideways, but was so loose it would soon fall out no matter how it was adjusted. If it had a non-threaded section near the head it would be possible to tighten it leaving the lever free to move, but the makers of this adapter used an ordinary screw and left it loose. The problem can be corrected with a little lacquer or glue on the threads. To avoid gumming up the mechanism I inserted a dab of epoxy through the "back" side of the threaded hole, then adjusted the loose screw for proper operation of the lever, so the end threads would engage the epoxy.The "too tight" problem is a bigger issue. I had no trouble with the fit to the camera, a Canon EOS Digital Rebel DS6041 (300D), though it was tighter than a "T" mount adapter I tried. But the lens was hard to dismount due to the design of the "springs" on the adapter. These are made by spreading a slot cut into the body material and behave more like "wedges." Aluminum does not make a good spring, and the amount the slots are spread does not seem well controlled. It may be possible to adjust the spread for a given lens, but I have just been tolerating the problem. The tight fit can result in side force on the locking pin making it hard to retract, which complicates removal of the lens. For those not concerned with the higher price, the "Pro" version of the adapter appears to have properly designed springs.On the positive side, the adapter seems to position the lens properly so the numbers on the focus scale are about right. It allows infinity focus with the lenses I tried, and maybe even a little "beyond infinity" to cover tolerances. With some minor rework, and checking that it won't get stuck in the camera, the low-cost "Standard" adapter can be very useful, so I'll give it a 3-star "OK" rating despite the noted problems.

    Fit perfectly onto my Canon T2i, and let me use my 50mm f1.9 X-Fujinon.

    Fit is solid and wiggle free, close focus distance is correct, and focus to infinity works as far as I can tell.
