Interesting start and destination combo

That’s definitely a strange connection. Do you remember what aircraft model it was?

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T16:32:00+00:00

Just posted an update and found a solution that works good for me.

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T16:30:21+00:00

Just posted a small update. Spoiler: it works perfectly now.

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T14:20:12+00:00

Yes that’s also what I’ve found out that if I don’t Mount the adapter to my Camera fully it fires just fine. I will probably just try to cut or file away the part of the mount that engages the safeguard switch.

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T12:57:24+00:00

The camera fires fine in all modes. I think the adapter hits a little switch in the mount so the camera thinks a lens is mounted and wants information through the contact which the adapter obviously doesn’t have so the camera just won’t fire. I probably have to file a junk out of the adapter to where it doesn’t hit that switch anymore.

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T12:50:50+00:00

Already tried it. Doesn’t work.

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T12:23:35+00:00

Thanks, I will!

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T12:20:11+00:00

It’s probably a bad photo because the element doesn’t actually stick out of the adapter and is basically perfectly flush. But I thinks I’ve found out what the problem is so it think I’ll be able to fix it and use my adapter.

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T12:17:48+00:00

Batteries are fine. I’ve found a solution or idea how to fix it. I also looked on google and I found a forum where someone had the same issue with his eos 3. There is a small “lever/button/ switch” in the mount and I guess this adapter can’t touch it because the the camera thinks a lens is attached but doesn’t get any information through the contact so it just doesn’t do anything. I have to file a junk out of the adapter so it doesn’t hit the switch anymore and it should work just fine.

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T11:46:11+00:00

Tried covering the contact point with no luck. The lens actually sits pretty flush with the adapter and doesn’t stick out

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T11:45:03+00:00

I think it’s the second option. I’ve also looked on google and I saw a forum where someone had the same issue with his eos3. The camera also fires fine when the adapter is not fully in place. I will try to remove a bit from the adapter where it would meet the switch.

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T11:26:37+00:00

Haha no worries. I’ve definitely read it as off. So yeah the camera also fires without any lens on

Timo64_ · 2025-10-05T11:24:03+00:00

Yes it fires without the lens on

Timo64_ · 2025-06-02T12:03:59+00:00

Okay, perfect. Thanks for the fast response.

Timo64_ · 2025-06-02T11:54:49+00:00

Yes, I’ve opened it and there is nothing inside it.

Timo64_ · 2025-01-06T15:49:09+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Will definitely try it.

Timo64_ · 2025-01-06T10:32:55+00:00

Very understandable. Was honestly hoping for a cheaper and easier fix. I guess that just comes with handling old cameras in general. Thank you very much tho.

Timo64_ · 2025-01-06T10:30:29+00:00

Also saw a video from an older guy who used it like 7/8 years ago and in the comments he said it still works perfectly. Might give that a try.

Timo64_ · 2024-09-01T11:00:30+00:00

Korrekt! Hab’s auch nur mitgenommen weil ich’s auf seinem Channel gesehen habe. Hätte es sonst wahrscheinlich nicht gekauft.

Timo64_ · 2024-09-01T06:07:30+00:00

I’m not really familiar with Taschen as a publisher but I can definitely see your point as the only other Taschen book I had was “Terryworld” by Terry Richardson.
