A lot of people ask me what kind of adapter they should buy, and how it will affect the image quality of their photos and videos.

So let’s see the difference between a cheap and a pro adapter.

first of all, let’s be clear, the two adapters will have the same effect on image quality.
An adapter is just a way to get a correct focus distance

What makes a real difference is the build quality of the adapter and if it can damage your camera.

Here is a 5$ adapter I bought on Amazon.
it comes in a Bubble pouch, and at first sight, it looks ugly but ok.
even if the font looks odd.

Here is a 30$ adapter I bought from Kamerastor, a shop that has the best adapters for all kinds of vintage lenses.
It comes in a real box and looks cool and solid.

So what is the real difference?

Let's take a closer look.

On the cheap adapter, the mount is covered with a thin layer of black paint.
with time and usage, this is going to create paint chips that will fall inside your camera and could damage the sensor.

On the pro version, the mount is in pure metal, nothing will fall inside the camera.

On the cheap version, the mount is secured with 3 small screws

on the pro version with 4 small screws.
so the cheap version is less resistant to tractions and lens weight in the long term



Of course, the design is a matter of taste, but the cheap version looks ugly to me and kinda amateurish.

Both will give you an equivalent image, but one is safer for your camera.

You will keep the cheap one for 6 months before its starts to be bad for your camera.

but you will keep the pro one for years … Choosing a good tool will be better for your work and for the Environment

I will do other adapter reviews so subscribe and tell me what mount you use the most.
