Lens adapter Pixco for Canon EOS (EF/EF-S) to Pentacon Six / Kiev 60 mount

Lens adapter Pixco for Canon EOS (EF/EF-S) to Pentacon Six / Kiev 60 mount (MPN: SB1694, EAN: 5904647820807) is a mechanical adapter that enables the use of medium-format Pentacon Six or Kiev 60 lenses on Canon EOS cameras with EF or EF-S mounts. The adapter provides a secure bayonet connection without electronic contacts, preserving manual aperture control and focus operation of the attached lens. It is designed for photographers who want to adapt vintage or medium-format glass for creative, studio, or experimental work on Canon bodies.

Advantages

The Pixco adapter delivers a precise mechanical fit between Pentacon Six / Kiev 60 lenses and Canon EOS EF/EF-S cameras, ensuring stable mounting and repeatable alignment. Because the adapter is fully mechanical, it supports full manual control of aperture and focus on the lens, avoiding electronic interference. The construction minimizes play and wobble at the mount interface, and the lightweight metal design makes it suitable for handheld and tripod use without significantly changing the balance of the camera and lens combination.

How to use

Attach the adapter to the camera by aligning the mount marks on the Pixco adapter and the Canon EF/EF-S body, then twist to lock into place. Mount the Pentacon Six / Kiev 60 lens to the adapter by aligning the corresponding bayonet marks and rotating until it locks. Set your camera to stop-down metering or manual exposure mode as required, and use the lens aperture and focus rings manually. Because there are no electronic contacts, set ISO, shutter speed, and aperture from the camera or lens as applicable. Use live view or focus magnification on the camera to achieve precise manual focus.

Usage recommendations

For best results, support heavier medium-format lenses with a tripod or lens collar when possible, and verify balance before handheld shooting. Use mirror lock-up or electronic first curtain (if available) at longer exposures to reduce vibration. Confirm infinity focus by testing on distant subjects, as some adapted combinations may require minor focus adjustments in-camera or with extension spacing.
