Perfect Fit

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2014

I've tried a lot of lens adaptors and most of them have been too tight. This one fits perfectly. If you're unsure about the price, keep in mind that what you're paying for is a well-manufactured adaptor. If you're attaching lenses that are worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, I think it's worth the extra money to get something that connects correctly. I also have the Novoflex adaptors for converting M and EF lenses to Sony E Mount cameras, and they fit perfectly, as well.

Keep in mind that this adaptor does not do autofocus.

Entirely wasted money - not a single shot in acceptable focus

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2013

I have captured several dozen frames with Nikon glass on an X-E1 using this adapter. Not a single shot was in acceptable focus. None. I tried my darnedest to focus properly using the latest Fuji focus peaking. What appeared perfectly in focus during peaking shifted out of focus when the shutter release was half pressed, appearing this way in the finished capture.

Aperture control was so crude as to be useless. Stopping down afforded only marginally better sharpness at considerable loss of speed.

This was wasted, wasted money. Duct tape strapping your Nikon lens to an X body will be just as effective and less costly.

Caveat emptor. Wish I could get my money back.

Excellent quality and fit. The only downside is it is very tight. I suppose the German tolerances are really tight. It takes anl effort to put on and take off.

Style: Sony-E BodyVerified Purchase

I purchased this with the intent of allowing use of my Nikon lenses with the new Sony NEX Video Cam. The adapter works as advertised however Sony has missed the mark with the camera. I have returned the camera and will now return the adapter. The adapter allows use of all my lenses and the Nikon lenses are a dramatic improvement over the 2 available Sony lenses...the 2 main reasons for returning the camera are: the microphone system is too sensitive and picks ups every strange noise from the sides of the action (4 mics with no control) and the viewfinder cannot be flipped 180 degrees to see yourself when shooting yourself...I went with the Sony HXRMC50U...a far superior camera (IMHO) at a lower price.

Novaflex EOS Nikon Lens Adapter Works Well

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2014

Style: Canon EF BodyVerified Purchase

This one came Ken Rockwell recommended. Expensive, but works well with my Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II. A far site better than my FD to EOS POS adapter.

It is easy to attach but a little diffcult to remove. I didn't receive instruction with it, but figured out after a little trial and error that it can be simply removed by depressing the small lever on the side, (and I do mean small).

The other reviews I read recommended having a seperate adapter for each lens but at that price I can live with my one, though I am looking for another at a cheaper price. Two would be twice as nice.

Excellent Results

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2014

Style: Fuji-X Mount Body

When this adapter is used according to the instructions and each lens used is set-up properly on the Fujifilm X body, it works on any Nikon lens. The very best results come by mounting Nikon's wonderful AI-S Manual focus lenses or "D" lenses because they have aperture rings so the aperture can be set on the lens and not on the guess-work, un-marked aperture ring on the adapter. Having said that I have had excellent results with the 50mm f1.8G and 35mm f1.8G lenses by simply setting the Novoflex ring in the middle of the range. I have even used the monster 300mm f4 lens with this adapter on my X-E2, but the longer the focal length, the harder focusing becomes. I would recommend not using Nikon's cheaper zoom lenses. Prime lenses simply work better and because of the excellent focus ring action on the AI-S lenses such as the 50mm f1.4, the 55mm f2.8 micro nikkor, the 105mm f2.5 and the 180mm f2.8, precision focus is more easily attained. I have also used Zeiss manual focus lens such as the 28mm f2 ZF, 25mm f2 ZF and the 50mm Makro Planar f2 ZF with excellent results. Using high quality manual focus lenses makes the whole shooting experience a pleasure and the precise focusing of these lenses will yield stunning results in the right hands.

The cons: Though this adapter is a precision tool, it still seems a bit over-priced and the lens release button is small, and definitely not easy on the fingers to operate (thus the 4 stars)

These are wonderful if you have some old Nikon lenses lying around. Two things you need to know

1. At first They are difficult to take off however that's not a problem when to get the hang of it. And besides you want the lens mount to be tight and secure anyways.

2. They do not transfer the mechanical functionality between Nikon and Canon. When you use a Nikon lens on a Canon body the lens is all manual. So if you're used to the camera doing all the work (autofocusing) you might be a little frustrated. But if you are a professional skilled in manual photography. This will work fine for you.

Unfortunately Not For Me

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2015

Style: Canon EF Body w/Lens Aperture ControlVerified Purchase

Unfortunately I will be returning this adapter. Although I have Nikon G lenses that are supposed to work with this adapter mine would not fit on the adapter. I contacted Novoflex and they were very prompt in their replies. Everything I tried to make it fit didn't work. I like my Novoflex that I purchased to use with my Leica M lenses on my Sony A7R so it's not like I don't think they make a great product. The Leica M adapter works perfectly with my Sony.
Also, Focus Camera has been a great supplier and I've been happy with every other purchase from them.
