Lens Mount Adapter - Nikon Nikkor F Mount D/SLR Lens to Canon EOS (EF, EF-S) Mount SLR Camera Body

I'm glad this adapter wasn't very much money. Although it works perfectly, just as designed, what I discovered was I don't like going backwards and manually focusing any more. Thought it would be cool to try my old lenses on my newer Canon, well, it wasn't. It was a pain. I don't care what a lot of YouTubers say, the quality in the old lenses just isn't up to the quality of the newer ones. And these old hands and old eyes are just not good at focusing any longer. How did I manage to get all those great pictures all those years ago? At least the lesson learned didn't cost too much.

This is truly an amazing product at a more amazing price. If you look around here in the nikon to eos adapters you can find insane prices such as the NOVOFLEX brand, I've used one before when working on a production and I really wasn't that amazed, it actually was harder to take off the lenses than these Fotodiox mounts are. I understand that there is a fear that these have a fragile clasp that actually holds the adapter to the lens and I somewhat agree. I examined it an it really is just a simple flexing piece of metal (about the same thickness as a paperclip) so I am somewhat afraid of an eventual breakdown, but with careful opening (when possible) it will be okay, but I bought two and will probably buy more so that I can just leave the mounts onto the lenses to prevent possible damage to the clasp, and I recommend this as the best option. Now, when I bought the adapter I was reading reviews as to what they will adapter or if there was any sort of issue I would face. Someone said that they won't accurately mount to a 28mm lens or wider and this is incorrect. I mounted it to my 28mm Nikkor lens and there is no issue of any kind, mainly because a Nikon mount is always a Nikon mount no matter the lens and an EOS body is always an EOS body no matter the model. I'll probably end up editing this and uploading a video review of the product. UPDATE: 11-25-2012 The adapters are still in tremendous shape in-spite of me purposely being rough with them, the "hinge" that connects the lens adapter to the lens is still performing like a champ. When I say rough, I mean rough, I've left the adapter loose with a some of my metal quick release plates in my bag and threw that around not a dent. I've done at least in the 1000's of lens changes with these adapters and not a single problem. Now, with that in mind for the metal clasp, I want to explain something that can be annoying about these adapters. They connect to the camera fine, but there is a little bit of "play / shake" that you can notice if you touch the lens independent of the camera body. This is a very minuscule amount of play that won't really effect anything, except for those who work with DSLR Video by manually focusing by the hand only (no follow focus). For shorter lenses the shake is not noticeable on the final video, but with a longer lens (70-200mm) it can be slightly noticeable on the final video. With that small shake in mind, I simply prepare for it, by gently grabbing the lens for focus changes, not a major problem at all.

I bought this adapter on the advice that it was a serious, superior product. It sure is. I had to put this to through the test in a unique way. I needed to adapt a 600mm Asanuma lens to a Canon EOS frame. Then the entire rig had to be incorporated into an experimental dual mount astronomical drive system to photograph the total eclipse up in Page, Arizona. There would be no room for error as the window for the eclipse was 4 minutes and 14 seconds. The idea was to take 399 sequential pictures to later turn into a time lapse film of the event. This mount couldn't suffer from light leaks, inaccurate machining, poor threading, lack of robustness, etc. The lens weighed in at a substantial amount. At site everything went together perfectly, and when the time came everything went off smoothly with no hitches. I would recommend this adapter for any situation, period. It works flawlessly and is of the highest grade. BTW that Asanuma lens is a fantastic lens (don't believe anyone writing on it that has an opinion and isn't familiar with the lens or its history). If you don't want to spend thousands of dollars for a 'new' supertelephoto lens but want to have FUN with one by all means find one of these or any of the other pre-digital lenses that can T-adapt. You can even pick up a questar telephoto if you look for them and I'll tell you this- NOTHING EVER made in the telephoto market can compete with the optics of a Questar telephoto- then and now. This adapter opens up a whole world of possibilities by making these legacy lenses once more relevant. You can now afford a boatload of them and use a single adapter to incorporate them on your camera. So you need to use it in manual mode- big deal. You should know how to do that anyways. I'll be getting more of these for my other lenses I'll be adapting to the Canon EOS frame. Best piece of equipment ever!

Good piece of kit. Small easy to carry and it works a treat and the results well worth the small expense. Go for it

Ho comprato questo adattatore per montare un vecchio obiettivo Nikon (28-70mm) su un corpo macchina Canon Eos 5d MKII. L'adattatore funziona egregiamente, si innesta senza problemi e mantiene il contatto senza far muovere l'obiettivo. Grazie a questo ho potuto riutilizzare un vecchio obiettivo oramai archiviato in un cassetto.

Bon produit, bonne finition ! Fonctionne parfaitement avec mon canon 7D Mark II. J'utilise des objectifs Minolta MD 50mm 1.4 et un 35-70mm 3.5 macro.On ne peut pas utiliser la macro, le verre qui se trouve dans l'adaptateur doit en être la cause. Soit vous êtes bricolo, vous savez enlever et remettre le verre, soit vous prenez un deuxième adaptateur sans verre qui coûte 10€ (par exemple : https://www.amazon.fr/Fotga-MD-EOS-Lentille-adaptateur-Minolta/dp/B01CJJSVBE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1502351258&sr=8-3&keywords=md+eos). Pour rappel, le verre se trouvant dans l'adaptateur permet de faire des réglages à " l'infini " ! Ce qu'il faut retenir, c'est que l'adaptateur Fotodiox fait parfaitement le boulot, il est solide. Il permet surtout d'exploiter nos vieilles reliques que nous avons laissé dans les tiroirs et de faire des économies plutôt que d'acheter de nouveaux objectifs. Puis, on peut faire comme à l'époque : tout en manuel !

Works great

Thankful for products like this, in the event of an ordering mixup 👍
