Dandelion chip

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A dandelion chip is a chip that can be installed in the mount of manual SLR lenses. Integrated into an adapter, it is commonly used on a digital SLR camera body with a shorter focal flange distance [1] like the Olympus Four Thirds System camera bodies, which can mount most manual focus lenses with adapters but which lack built-in focus confirmation.[2]

Integrated into a contact block, a dandelion chip can be added to Nikon manual focus lenses to enable exposure metering, focus indication and EXIF data on Nikon consumer bodies.[3]
