I ordered this product hoping it would be strongly made for the price I paid and I was pleasantly surprised. No real problems mounting it to my camera and no sharp or unfinished edges (which I have experienced before on other metal products on amazon!). I have been using it for a while now with no complaints. No real gamble here – if you are wondering about the name or the quality…no problems so far!

Disregard my five-star rating, as I have not been able to judge this adapter. It’s probably my own fault for not researching this stuff ahead of time, but be forewarned that this adapter does not work on the 50mm f/1.8 lens, and I assume, any other lens which doesn’t have a separate ring to determine aperture. Personally I’ve only seen an aperture ring on old-model film cameras, like the antique my Spanish teacher has. But it is now my understanding that if you can’t set the aperture on the lens itself, this adapter ring won’t work for you. It seems fine otherwise: metallic as opposed to the plastic I was expecting, fit fine on my lens and in the camera, but again, I can’t judge what kind of pictures it takes.
UPDATE: Thanks to the first commenter, who enlightened me as to how to set aperture without an aperture ring, I’ve been able to take some test pics with my 50mm f1.8, and while the pictures seem to be on par with my 25mm extension tube as far as picture quality, if you’re using a high aperture to increase depth of field, you will need a lot of light, because when I shot at f22, there was barely enough light to focus in a fairly well-lit room. I’d have to say that I prefer my extension tube for macro shooting, but for bargain performance, if you have enough light (and more than just available light), this ring should do the trick.
