FAQs
Q: How do I know which adapter is compatible with my equipment?
A: Each adapter in our collection clearly specifies the source lens mount and target camera mount in its description. If you're unsure, our product names follow a consistent format: [Camera Mount]/[Lens Mount]. We recommend double-checking both your lens and camera mounts before purchase.
Q: Will I lose any functionality when using an adapter?
A: While mechanical adapters maintain infinity focus and manual aperture control, electronic functions like autofocus typically won't transfer. Some of our advanced adapters (marked with "NT") include built-in aperture control rings for lenses without mechanical aperture rings.
Q: Do your adapters maintain infinity focus?
A: Yes, all Novoflex adapters are precision-engineered to maintain infinity focus. Our manufacturing process ensures exact flange distances for optimal performance throughout the focusing range.
Q: What's the difference between regular and "NT" versions?
A: Adapters marked "NT" include a built-in aperture control ring, allowing you to control the aperture of lenses that don't have mechanical aperture rings. This is particularly useful for newer lenses designed for electronic aperture control.
Q: Are these adapters weather-sealed?
A: While our adapters are built to professional standards with tight tolerances, they should not be considered fully weather-sealed. We recommend protecting your equipment in adverse weather conditions.
Q: What maintenance do lens adapters require?
A: Regular inspection and gentle cleaning of the mount surfaces is recommended. Keep both mount surfaces free of dust and debris, and store the adapter with caps when not in use. All our adapters are covered by our 2-year warranty.
Q: Can I use these adapters for professional work?
A: Absolutely. Our adapters are designed and manufactured to professional standards in Germany, with precision engineering that ensures reliable performance in demanding situations. Many professional photographers worldwide trust Novoflex adapters for their critical work.
