Dr. John R. Brinkley Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 My fotodiox adapter is stuck to my Pentax 28/2 lens. The pin you press on the adapter to release and twist the adapter off the lens fell off and so they are married together. Has anyone dealt with this before. I assume it's common with these adapters. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 use a needle or nail to depress the catch where the pin was that fell off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarlow Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I had the same problem, also with a Pentax 28mm (they must be haunted :ph34r: ) You have to get in via the back to pull the pin - its messy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. John R. Brinkley Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hold on, sounds like this might need endoscopic surgery. Hopefully the nail helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulio Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Gah, fotodiox adapters are a nightmare. I have had them become stuck to lenses multiple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. John R. Brinkley Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 I would consider a different more expensive adapter but I'm hoping metabones will make one for pentax k mount and minolta, though I suppose I shouldn't hold my breath.

Their newest version of the m43 to m42 mount seems to have much better build quality, I haven't had any trouble with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
