Nikon Nikkor F Mount D/SLR Lens to Micro Four Thirds (MFT) Mount Mirrorless Camera Body Adapter

I purchased an Olympus E-PM1 as a second camera to carry around when I don't want to lug the big DSLR. Well I have a nice 50mm prime lens that I love and wanted to give it a shot on the E-PM1. For the price, it's a great value so I figured I'd buy the Nikon to MFT adapter. I was very happy with the build quality. It was a snug fit on the Olympus and the 50mm prime snapped right on. I didn't have any problems figuring out how to get it to work like some people did, but I'm a little more tech-savy than most I guess. You WILL have to MANUAL focus as there are no electronic pins connecting the camera to the lens, so if this scares you then don't buy it. All in all, I am extremely pleased with this purchase and am considering buying the Canon adapter. If you're comfortable with manually focusing your camera this is such an easy product to use, I don't see why you wouldn't spend a little money on it. Highly recommend.

This is easily the best $35 I've spent on camera stuff in a long time. I have a large collection of older Nikon lenses, and this adapter makes it possible to use some of my old favorites on my Olympus E-PL2. There are a couple of caveats you should know about: 1.) There is no auto-focus when using this adapter, so it works best with lenses that have a decent amount of "feel" to the focus ring. Some later-model Nikon AF lenses have very loose focusing mechanisms (so that they present less resistance to the in-body focusing motor) but they can be twitchy when used as manual focus lenses. 2.) You must stop the lens down to the desired aperture before shooting. This may darken the image in the viewfinder / LCD screen. This is necessary to get an accurate exposure reading, since the camera has no idea what the lens' maximum aperture is, and it has no way to set the aperture, anyway. Those of us who grew up with old-school Pentax and early Nikon cameras know this as "stop down metering". I used the camera in "P" mode -- I set the aperture, and the camera adjusted the exposure accordingly. You can tweak the exposure using the +- adjustment just as you would a normal Oly lens. 3.) No operation with "G" lenses or AF-S lenses. Sorry, but this is just a mounting adapter, and it makes no attempt to connect the camera's electronics to the lens electronics. Caveats aside, I tried this with a few of my favorite Nikon lenses and was thrilled with the results, including the 50 mm f/1.4 AF, 60 mm f/2.8 AF, and 85 mm f/1.8 AF. All three produced sharp images with excellent detail, even at the corners. Since the Nikon lenses were designed to cover a full-frame (24 x 36 mm) 35mm film frame, the Olympus is only using the center of the lens - the part with the best performance and least distortion. Without the AF, I wouldn't try this setup for shooting an NBA game - but it would be fine for posed subjects, studio shots, and slow-moving wildlife work. I did not encounter any issues attaching or removing the adapter from any of my lenses.

I used this with a Lumix GH1 and an early-80s Nikkor 43-86mm. It's nice and tight, no play at the lens or the camera body. Focuses to infinity (and very slightly beyond). The one that I received has a small tab instead of that funky little joystick to release the mounting pin. Look at the pictures of the rainbowimaging adapter; it's like that. This is good. The tab should be much more durable, and less confusing to lens-mount newbies, than that joystick. The aperture Open-Lock ring is labeled backwards on mine. Whoops! "Lock" opens the aperture fully and "Open" locks it in the aperture-ring position. The Open-Lock ring is also very rough to turn. If you take lots of long exposure shots and want this feature to focus wide open, this may annoy you. I also have to wonder if it is grinding off some metal particles that might end up on the sensor. IMO don't use it. As with all the Fotodiox adapters, it would be nice to have light baffles/ridges inside the tube to reduce stray light. For $35, you get what you pay for. IMO, buy one for each lens and just leave them mounted if you can.

Well-made product. You need to use lenses that have both manual focus rings and manual aperture rings, since you have to set both manually. There will be no autofocus. I attached Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens to a Lumix GF3 body and it's fine, since that lens has both a focus ring and an aperture ring. On the GF3, turning on "MF Assist" and touching the screen to activate it can help you get your focusing perfectly sharp at shallower depths of field when necessary. You'll have to use Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority or full-manual mode. Metering works fine. Your photos will not have EXIF information for things like f-stop, exposure bias, and focal length, but exposure time and ISO will be recorded in the data. You must set the camera to "Shoot w/o Lens" or it'll tell you there's no lens attached. Take your time and be careful attaching the adapter to the lens. Look carefully to see where everything lines up. Mounting the lens with the adapter to the camera body is just like mounting any m4/3 lens. I recommend this product and give it five stars, since it does exactly what it is supposed to do.

This is an inexpensive adapter that allows you to mate a dumb (non-electronic) Nikon/Nikkor lens with a micro four thirds (MFT, M4/3) lens mount. I am using two of these adapters with 20 - 30 year old Nikon glass and a new Panasonic AF100 HD video camera. I am very pleased with the ease of mounting both the lenses to the adapter and the adapter to the camera body. I have used cheap adapters in the past to connect Nikon lenses to cameras such as the Canon 7D and Canon 5DmkII. These MFT adapters are vastly superior, as I do not feel that I am about to break them in half. When adapting my lenses to the Canon mounts I purchased an adapter for every lens because excessive connection/disconnection would quickly destroy the adapter. These particular adapters are much sturdier and more well made. While I purchased two of them, I now see that I could have gotten by with only one. However, at such an excellent low price it is prudent to have a spare in reserve for critical shooting. BOTTOM LINE: I am very pleased. Unless you have newer Nikon glass that requires an intelligent interface, I do not see why you would choose a more expensive option than this.

Fotodiox mounts have had a mixed history in the past, but I can tell you this mount for Nikkor F works flawlessly. Mounts to my GH5 smoothly, the lenses mount perfectly with no play or slop, and infinity focus is spot-on. Totally well designed there's no reason to spend big $$$ with Novoflex or Metabones. Keep in mind this is a PASS THROUGH adapter, not a speed-booster type, so there's no degradation or impact on image sharpness or color.

Prior to purchasing this, I was skeptical about the quality, having seen the cheaper lens adapters one can get off eBay. However, Fotodiox is very, very well engineered. It's solid feeling, attaches securely, and feels/looks/acts like a far more pricier item. It also happens to do its simple job perfectly. The lens--in this case, a treasured old Nikon 50mm 1.8--is securely attached to the body and doesn't feel flimsy at all. In the end, this product opened up a whole new world of photography for me. Using old manual lenses reconnects me with the art of photography, and I'm glad this company is around to make that possible.

I own both this Nikon F mount adapter and the Canon FD equivalent. Sure. You can spend much, much more money for an adapter which is built far better than this. And yes, if you are mounting a lens which costs over $1000 or weighs more than a few ounces (or both), I would highly advise spending the extra cash on something with an immaculate fit and finish and more reinforcement at the mount. Personally, I purchased these Fotodiox adapters to mount my moderately priced primes to a camera which cost me all of $185. If I wanted to get serious, I wouldn't have purchased a MFT body in the first place. So my expectations were low and were met by both Fotodiox adapters. That being said, I do have to give this (and the FD version, by proxy) 4 out of 5 stars for one minor design flaw. Both adapters allow the lens to focus past infinity. Luckily, this can be corrected without too much difficulty, if you find that it irritates you enough.... http://www.amazon.com/review/R2KWNX9ODAR3J1/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B003EAVUMK&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag= This Nikon adapter feels slightly more solidly made than the FD version, but it also lacks the FD's ring for opening the aperture while focusing (i.e. the lens is always stopped down when mounted), and of course everything is totally manual (no contacts between lens and body at all) -- so no G lenses. Mounting and unmounting on the Nikon side of the adapter is smooth and nice (unlike the FD, which can be a bit fiddly).

I've bought cheaper adapters before for mounting different lenses to my Olympus Pen, but thought I would try something a little more expensive this time. I've bought a Fotodiox reproduction lens cap for my Rolleiflex before and was very impressed with the quality of that item, so they were a brand that I trusted. I'm glad that I spent a little more! It feels like a quality item and is well finished. It is ribbed internally to prevent internal reflections. Both mounts fit positively, without either being too tight or having any slack. I'd read some reviews about the locking button being of poor quality, but it feels sturdy and positive in operation to me. The infinity focus is spot on too. The cheaper adapters are not made with such precision or the same tolerances and try to focus past infinity. A great item! For very little money I can fit beautifully made, readily available and cheap old Nikkor lenses to my digital camera and reap the reward of visibly sharper photographs. On a personal note, I much prefer the handling of my Pen with manual lenses fitted. Simply set it to aperture priority, focus, select the aperture and shoot. It handles just like the old manual film cameras that I am used - no buttons to hold whilst pressing down other buttons to change the aperture, just a simple aperture ring to turn. Bliss!

il pourrait être réparé en le grattant. donc 4 étoiles. rem: la goupille de verrouillage de la baionette ne pénètre pas dans le trou. objectivement n'est donc pas reconnue.

I use this adapter on my Olympus OM-D M43 body. It is a well constructed adapter and will work with any manual Nikon F-mount lens. I have tried it successfully with 28mm, 43mm, 55mm and a 200mm Nikkor lens. There is no need to modify the lens in any way and works readily with AI, AI-S and pre-AI Nikon lenses. I generally use A Priority shooting mode as in the image here taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II with Nikon Micro-Nikkor-P・C Auto 1:3.5 55mm (F mount) and Fotodiox Pro Nik-M43 Adapter and Polarizer.

Muy bueno, funciona muy bien con mi Panasonic GH4.

Di sicuro è molto versatile e svolge il suo lavoro in modo eccellente, ma il costo è comunque abbastanza alto, contando che non vi è alcun contatto elettrico o una ghiera per i diaframmi.
