A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

So, I'm about to lose it.

I have a Canon EOS 4000D. I bought a Canon macro lens (EF-M 28mm) which turns out isn't compatible with my camera. I bought a mount adapter because I really just wanted the lens to attach (EF-EOS M), and it fits my camera but not the macro lens. Today, I received a lens mount adapter (MD-EOS) and that also fits the camera but not the lens.

WHAT IS UP WITH THIS LENS?? What did I buy? What should I have bought? I feel really stupid, and I really, really just want to take some damn praying mantis face closeups.

Please help. I have, like, $1,200 worth of equipment that's effectively useless for me right now.

Either sell your camera (and adapters) and get m50 so something similar, or sell the lens (and adapters), and look into EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro or 35mm f/2.8 Macro.

Or EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro…
