** Nikon and Canon Camera Quark adapters are fabricated to (and fit checked) to fit name brand Nikkor F and Canon EOS-EF series lenses of vintage ~2017 and older. The camera lens manufacturing industry is very large and varied. Daystar cannot assure with certainty that lenses manufactured after 2017 or off-brand manufactured lenses will fit and latch on Daystar Camera Quark. Accessory component stock availability is limited. If lens is of newer vintage and does not fit, it is unlikely that new adapters will become available in the future to fit that lens. We apologize for any inconvenience.
