Product Description

If you have a SLR or DSLR camera and other maker/mount lenses, the Fotodiox Mount Adapters allow you to use your lenses on the film/digital camera body. Sharing lenses has some distinct advantages. Certain prime lens just can't be replaced, and you save cost of purchase lenses. ¡Fotodiox offers a range of adapter from large format to smaller format digital adapters. Adapting larger format lens, i.e., large format û medium format, medium format û 35mm, excellent edge-to-edge sharpness; and the smaller 24x36 mm image field helps minimize the effects of lens distortion and aberration.

This review is from: Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter, Nikon Lens to Canon EOS Camera Adapter, for Canon EOS 1d,1ds,Mark II, III, IV, 5D, Mark II, 7D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 60D, Digital Rebel xt, xti, xs, xsi, t1i, t2i, 300D, 350D, 400D, 450D, 500D, 550D, 1000D (Electronics)

I used these to attach some Nikon and Zeiss manual-aperture lenses to my Canon EOS 5D Mark II to regain manual control over aperture settings when shooting video. They worked fine, no big issues.

I wish the little tab you use to unlock the adapter from the lens were a bit more solidly-built; it feels like it might break after maybe 100+ operations. This is the reason (among several others) that I'm buying a few more units of this adapter, so I can just attach one to each of my Nikon manual lenses and leave them there.

Overall, for the price they're perfectly fine. I can't justify spending $150 apiece for the competing brands, not right now at least. I'm hoping I won't be proven wrong in the long run :)

This review is from: Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter, Nikon Lens to Canon EOS Camera Adapter, for Canon EOS 1d,1ds,Mark II, III, IV, 5D, Mark II, 7D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 60D, Digital Rebel xt, xti, xs, xsi, t1i, t2i, 300D, 350D, 400D, 450D, 500D, 550D, 1000D (Electronics)

I was hesitant to buy this adapter since the few reviews were not very enthusiastic. But I was anxious to try using my 300mm Nikkor lens on my Canon DSLR. And for $30 why not try it?

The lens adapter is all metal and fits nicely between the lens and the camera. The lens has to be used only in aperture priority and in manual focus but I usually use this lens in manual focus when using it on my Nikon F100.

I am quite pleased with the pictures taken using this adapter on my Canon DSLR's (both the 40D and the Rebel XT). I would not hesitate to recommend adding one of these adapters to your camera bag.

This is not meant for moving between lenses. Construction doesn't hold up over repeated use; the tab is pretty weak. Also doesn't enable wide-angle (28mm and below) lenses to adapt to the Canon body.
