I bought the adapter, put it on my Canon 50mm 1.4, no problem. I wanted to use my Tamron 24-70 but it was being cleaned at Tamron and only got it back this week. Took the adapter off and tried attaching it to the Tamron and it just wouldn't go.
I went into the large electronics shop in town. They took out a new Kipon adapter and Tamron lens, everything worked except my adapter. It's still under warranty/return and I'm sending it back. However, when I got home I tried re-attaching it to my 50mm 1.4 thinking maybe when taking it off I messed something up. But it went on the lens without a problem. Tried it on my 70-200, no problem. Tried it on my 100mm macro, problem...but I don't know why. I can't find any minor differences in the mounting parts. Why would the adapter be able to attach properly to the 50mm and 70-200 but not the 24-70 or 100mm?
Anyways, the new adapter should arrive Saturday. I will test it right away to make sure all is working well. Thought I would throw this question out there just in case someone has encountered this issue.
