    Add stylish and organic flare in-camera

    The partially transparent ring on the ColorFlare adapter allows light to enter the adapter and create natural organic light leak effects under nearly any lighting conditions. Depending on the orientation of the light source and distance to the adapter, you can create a variety of light leak effects from total blowout to a slicing flare. Flare can be controlled by using your hand or another method to block the light coming through the holes in the black silicone mask. Using a pen light or small flashlight will give you even more control over the orientation and strength of your flare effects.

    Includes five ColorTint rings and silicone masks

    Included with the ColorFlare are 5 ColorTint rings (orange, red, green, blue, purple) and 6 black silicone masks (3 with holes, 3 without holes). The ColorTint rings slide onto the transparent portion of the adapter and help tint the light flare effect in your image. Want a purple light flare? Slip on the purple ColorTint ring! The black silicone masks slip over the transparent portion of the adapter or the ColorTint ring if one is being used, this mask helps direct and control the amount of flare in your image. By rotating the holes in the mask you can place the flare just about anywhere in your image. Two of the included black masks have precut holes and three have no holes so that they can be adapted to your individual needs.

    Note:
  • • This is a manual adapter, so lens functions that rely on electronic communication with the camera body (autofocus, AE metering, image stabilization, etc.) will be disrupted.
  • • Some cameras need to be set a certain way to work with our adapters or you may get a message such as 'Error Lens Not Attached - Check lens'. Please check the support articles on the Fotodiox Knowledge Base for possible solutions on a variety of camera brands.
  • • 'Focus-By-Wire' lenses (such as Canon's STM or Nikons AF-P) requires power to engage the manual focus rings on the lens, since manual lens mount adapters do not power the lens, those lenses will not be able to focus.
  • • Set your exposure manually or meter using your camera's Aperture Priority (stop-down) mode.
  • • If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, the lens aperture will revert to its default position, which depending on the lens is either stopped down to its largest f-stop or opened up to its smallest f-stop.
  • • To determine what the new 'Crop Factor' or 'Equivalent Focal Length' of the lens when used on your camera will be, please check the Fotodiox Knowledge Base article.
  • All pictures are for illustration purposes only. Actual product may vary slightly due to ongoing improvements in design.

    James M. ★★★★★

    Finally getting the exact light leaks I was hoping for on my vintage CY 55mm. The adapter feels solidly built and the internal texture creates a really unique, unpredictable flare pattern I can't get with a filter.

    Evelyn F. ★★★★★

    My old CY 135mm f2.8 finally gets that dreamy, unpredictable glow I was after. The adapter builds solid, no wobble on my GH5. A bit of a gamble as clearance, but for creative flare effects it paid off.

    Sophia P. ★★★★★

    I've been using this on my vintage CY 50mm and the flare effect gives my street photos a dreamy, nostalgic look. The all-metal construction feels solid despite being a clearance item, and the adapter locks on without any wobble. Just one thing—be careful with bright direct sun, as the light leak can
