Connect Your C-Mount Lens With a Lens Adapter Ring
A C-Mount lens is often used on movie and video cameras, but an adapter can expand the lenss utility to a still-shot camera. Use your existing C-Mount lens when connecting it with a lens adapter ring. Choose the adapter appropriate for your DSLR camera for focusing in on still subjects, or add one to your movie camera.
What is the purpose of a camera lens adapter?This adapter provides you the chance to zoom in on your subjects as you use it to connect your lens to your DSLR or video camera. It can also allow you to connect accessories with compatible attachment threads, which are normally used for taking detailed close-ups and capturing your subject from above, below, and its sides. You can also use it to home in on a foreground or background subject while blurring the areas behind it or around it. Lens adapters also provide you the ability to take pictures at both shallow and deep depths of field for achieving desired photo perspectives.
What accessories can be attached using a C-Mount adapter?You can attach any accessory that connects using C-Mount threads. These are examples of items you can attach to your camera or video recorder:
- Threaded cap: It keeps dirt out of the insides of your lenses and extender tubes when not in use. The ones with a knurled edge provide a tight protective seal for safekeeping when you are not using your camera.
- Extension tube: You can attach this between your lens and your camera mount. This allows you to magnify your subject when zooming in on it. It helps you create a detailed close-up during macro shooting sessions.
- Rubber bellows: This accessory provides more flexibility than the straight extension tubes because it allows you to pivot your camera for shooting close-ups at a variety of angles.
- Coupler: This ring allows you to attach cylindrical objects such as lenses and extension tubes together in similar fashion to the way some plumbing pipes connect. Some of them snap onto your accessories, but others have either internal or external threads.
You can use it on any device that has the threads for attaching this type of adapter. It is compatible with a variety of DSLR cameras and video recorders, such as the Olympus PEN series, Panasonic AG-AF100 Mirrorless, and Canon 1000 C and D series cameras.
What automated features can be used with a lens adapter?You can set your camera exposure using the aperture priority mode, which provides you a little bit of automation. This lens also enables the focus-to-infinity function, which is the feature that allows you to zoom in on a distant object, blur the area around it, and give the scene some depth. Infinity focus also allows you to emphasize a close-up foreground subject while blurring the scene background.
