5 Easy Steps to Remove Rokinon Auto Tele Converter

In the realm of photography, Rokinon’s autofocus teleconverters have gained immense popularity among enthusiasts seeking to extend the reach of their lenses. However, detaching these converters can sometimes pose a slight challenge. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or a novice, understanding the proper technique for removing a Rokinon autofocus teleconverter is crucial to ensure both the longevity of your equipment and optimal performance during your photographic endeavors.

Before embarking on the removal process, it’s essential to verify that your camera is powered off. This safety measure prevents any potential electrical damage to the camera’s delicate circuitry. With the camera safely turned off, locate the release button situated on the teleconverter’s housing. This button is typically a small, spring-loaded lever that, when pressed, disengages the locking mechanism. Once the release button is depressed, gently rotate the teleconverter counterclockwise while applying slight pressure. As you rotate, the teleconverter will gradually detach from the lens mount.

Upon successful detachment, carefully inspect the teleconverter and lens mount for any signs of damage or misalignment. If any abnormalities are detected, it’s advisable to seek professional assistance from a qualified camera repair technician. Proper maintenance and handling of your photographic equipment not only ensure their longevity but also contribute to capturing stunning and memorable images that will be cherished for years to come.

Aligning the Lens and Camera Mount

1. **Ensure Compatibility:** Verify that your Rokinon autofocus teleconverter is compatible with your camera lens. Incompatible combinations may result in damage.

2. **Clean Mounts:** Remove any dust or debris from the lens and camera mount using a lens cleaning cloth or blower. Clean surfaces enhance a secure connection.

3. **Align Index Marks:** Locate the white index marks on both the teleconverter and camera lens. Ensure that these marks are aligned perfectly.

4. **Mount the Teleconverter:** Grip the teleconverter firmly and carefully align it with the camera lens mount. Twist the teleconverter clockwise until it clicks into place. Some models may have a locking mechanism that requires further rotation. Refer to the specific teleconverter’s instructions for precise mounting instructions.

Mount Type	Mounting Procedure
Nikon F Mount	Align index marks, rotate clockwise until it clicks. Lock by rotating further.
Canon EF Mount	Align index marks, rotate clockwise until it stops.
Sony E Mount	Align index marks, rotate clockwise until it tightens.

5. **Secure the Teleconverter:** Once the teleconverter is mounted, check that it is securely attached and cannot be easily removed. A loose connection may compromise image quality and performance.

6. **Test the Connection:** Take a few test shots to ensure that the teleconverter is functioning correctly and that the focus is accurate. Adjust the focus as necessary to achieve optimal results.

AF/MF Switch: The autofocus (AF) or manual focus (MF) switch should be set to the appropriate mode for your shooting requirements.
