Removing a fotodiox nikon f/ai to eos adaptor

These adaptors are awesome in the sense that you can use manual focus lenses on your canon, however removing the fotodiox nikon f/ai to eos can seriously slice your fingers up. That happened to me last year. Today I got a nikkor 28mm 2.8, Being that Fotodiox failed to include instructions I spent a good amount of time figuring out how to properly take off the adaptor my nikkor 50mm.

I figured out how to do it and made some directions/video to help others.

After buying one adapter and fighting with it, I bought 3 more adapters and 3 Canon rear caps. Now each of my Nikkor lenses are easy/fast to change. The non-focus-confirm adapters I got were $13 each on Ebay.

What you show there is fine if the adapter isn't too tight on the lens. I've got at least two adapter/ lens combos that are INCREDIBLY difficult to remove. I usually have to get a rag and jam a corner of the rag into the notch for "traction" to remove it.

Why Nikon "just had" to design their lenses to rotate backwards from the rest of the world is beyond me.

That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip.
