The KIPON Minolta MD Lens to Nikon Z Camera Macro Adapter with Helicoid is specifically designed to support macro mode thanks to its built-in helicoid, which increases the lens' focusing range. The adapter is crafted out of metal and maintains infinity focus when the helicoid is retracted to its default position.

Q: 1. Can this be used in conjunction with a set of ext tubes to increase the amount of magnification when shooting macro?

A: Yes, its certainly possible to combine tubes with the lens adapter.

Q: 2. Hello, I'm using a Lumix G7 with a lens turbo Nikon-M43 adapter. Do you think I could adapt an older Minolta MD W.Rokkor-X 24mm f/2.8 with the FotodioX Pro Lens Mount Adapter for Minolta MD Lens to Nikon F Mount ? That means I'd have the Turbo Lens + this adapter+ the Minolta MD W.Rokkor-X 24mm f/2.8? Any idea if I'm going to retain somewhat of a wide angle?

A: In theory you should be able to get the lens mounted on your camera. However, you won't have the wide angle from the 24mm. Due to the crop factor of your m4/3 body, the lens will have the field of view of a 48mm.

Q: 3. So this is a close-focus adapter, similar to the VM-E adapter for Sony? Then I can use this to mount the Voigtlander Heliar 40mm/2.8 on my Z7?

A: Yes, the KIPON Lens Mount Adapter for Leica M-Mount Lens with Helicoid to Nikon Z-Mount Camera would be similar in performance to the Voigtlander VM-E Close Focus Adapter, except it is designed for use on Nikon Z-mount cameras, not Sony E-mount cameras. As the adapter provides 5mm of travel (compared to the 4mm of travel of the VM-E adapter), the above adapter should allow you to connect and focus the Voigtländer 40mm f/2.8 Heliar Lens on the Nikon Z7 Mirrorless Digital Camera.

Q: 4. How do I remove the glass element?

A: Although there are comments saying the glass elements can’t be removed, I own it and easily removed them. Wear a fresh rubber glove to improve traction and unscrew the metal retaining ring. The ring and two pieces of glass come out. You can then use the adapter for close focus only but it means you avoid introducing additional (and inferior) glass.

Q: 5. How many millimeters does the helicoid extend?

A: The helicoid extends 6mm.

Q: 6. what does the control ring do? does it open and close the iris?

A: The ring on the KIPON Macro Lens Mount Adapter with Helicoid for Canon EF-Mount Lens to Canon RF-Mount Camera is not a control ring; instead, it is a helicoid ring that you may turn to elongate the lens adapter, thereby increasing your lens' minimum focus distance. When the ring is set to its standard position, you will be able to focus to infinity. However, upon turning the ring, you will lose infinity focus, but it will allow you to focus closer to your subject and increase its magnification.

Q: 7. What is the weight of this item, and what are its dimensions?

A: 70mm diameter x 20mm thick and weighs about 8oz.

Q: 8. I've an old Minolta MC Rokkor-x 50mm lens. Can I use this addapter to use my lens in my Nikon D7200?

A: The lens mount, contrary to common belief, is actually called the SR mount, not the MC or MD mount. The terms MC and MD relate to different series' of Minolta lenses, with different features. All of the lenses, however, use the SR mount. Mine works fine and I have both MC and MD lenses. Just remember, the auto feature does not work and you must manual set the exposure.

Q: 9. Hello, I know this will work my Nikon 7200, just curious if there is an adapter that will fit my MD lenses to my Nikon that has an autofocus motor.

A: Hi Isaiah,I am using the adapter on a Nikon F3 manual focus camera. Unfortunately I can't answer regarding digital Nikons.

Q: 10. will this work on a nikon d300s please?

A: Yes will work but only in manual mode...
