Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter

Comments about Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter:

Purchased to enable the use of an older Nikkor lens that I had. It's really worked out well. I've noticed the 'loose'ness that others have brought up, but at least in my case it's very very minor...maybe around 1/32". It doesn't effect the lens use at all. Very happy to have this as a solution.

Seems lightly built, almost flimsy, particularly compared to my Cinevate. Came with no instructions. Fit the back of the Nikon lens OK, but when attached to the EOS, it would rotate back and forth. Total range of motion was about 1/8 inch about. I sent it back. I'll have two more Cinevate's on order soon as B&H processes my refund.

Use them with my zeiss prime nikon mount lenses on my canon 5dmark 2.

I just got two for my lenses, I had another brand before, worked great but was kinda loose. Those one fits stiffly, it makes it great specially when you rack focus, it doesn't wiggle. However they're petty hard to remove, so if you get them better have one for each lenses and not take them out to often. It might be time consuming.

I guess it's the trade off, tighter but harder to get off. I also heard that on some old nikon lenses it was almost impossible to take off. So beware.

They look great and work great.

I own this adapter as well as the one made by Cinevate which is roughly the same price. This adapter is definitely the better of the two. While the cinevate mount appears more robust at first, the Bower stacks up nicely and is much easier to use. The main advantage, however (the reason I bought this one as well) is that this adapter works perfectly with Non-AI lenses, whereas other adapters prohibit the aperture ring on these lenses from working properly. I keep this adapter on my non-AI lenses and use the cinevate for the others. I highly HIGHLY recommend this adapter to anyone who (like me) started out on Nikon analog cameras and switched to Canon for digital (a wise choice!). Now I carry 6 nikkor lenses in my bag in addition to my 5 canon lenses, and most of the time I keep my mid 60s Nikkor-S 50 1.4 mounted to my 5D. Lenses are a bit hard to focus through the tiny viewfinder with no split image, but different focusing screens are available in most cases and live view and a Zacuto Finder is a very workable setup. Save youself the thousands of dollars you will spend on quality new canon glass and spend [$] on this adapter to use the fantastic Nikkor lenses you already have!

I am a professional photographer and a videographer, I have 5 Nikon lenses and a 5d mark II. The adapter works great it's easy to fix on the lens and easy to mount from a lens to the other. The only thing is that it has to be used in manual and since i always shott in manual i had no problem. I recommend this to amateurs and pros!

Great adapter works well

I bought the adapter to mount a EOS body on a Nikon Fieldscope fitted with a Nikon FSA L1 digiscoping lens. Thus, the body will be mounted and removed, and the adapter will stay in place on the FSA-L1.

The adapter has a nice snug fit on both items, and the body is removed in the normal manner.

Don't know what else the expensive item would do, but I'm quite happy with this adapter.

There was play back and forth when pulling focus. I was trying these out because it was a lot cheaper than the Novoflex. I would go with the Novoflex! You get what you pay for!

Comments about Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter:

What a great idea. I'm really glad I can use the Nikon lenses I bought back in my film use days on my new Canon camera. The adapter feels well build. I can also use my Canon light readings with the Nikon lens. Not so with the NIkon D5100 I was considering. I only put the adapter on and off once, but I agree with another reviewer. Because it's not as easy to get off, I would buy one for each of the two Nikon lenses I plan to use.

This is a useful mount to fit your new and old Nikon lenses to your Canon body.

Comments about Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter:

The adapter works great for the money paid. It's solid and the lens fits snug into it and doesn't wobble. Great purchase if you need to adapt Nikon lenses to a Canon EOS body.

Comments about Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter:

I love the idea of using my 7d Canon body with crisp nikkor lenses to film all of my commercial and personal projects with the necessary PL mount (which happens to be an ABEOSN Bower Lens Adapter) It is thus far very sturdy, where I feel very comfortable with having a 600mm lens hanging off the front of my camera body (of course to mount on a tripod) if need be. I do like to switch lenses frequently, and the only thing that would stumble my flow, is the safety locking mechanism which prevents me from strictly removing the lense. This is probably the best solution for any adapter, safety wise, though I would love to see a rapid release adapter in the future.

very easy to use, easy to remove

Comments about Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter:

The adapter works to mount the Nikon lens to my Canon 60D and it does works. However, my only issue is that there is some play where the lens adapter meets the body. It just isn't a tight fit. That aside, it works fine, but I wonder if an adapter from another company would fit snugger.

Used with a 28mm f/1.4L and a 70-200mm f/4.5-5.6 nikon lens on a Canon 550D body. No complaints.

Comments about Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter:

A little instruction pamplet would have helped.
Using the adapter on one lens is fine but it is too difficult to remove so don't expect to use it on all your Nikon lenses.

Comments about Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter:

Easily allows me to use Nikon lens on a canon body. I use it for an older 400mm f2.8 manual focus lens.

Comments about Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter:

solid, affordable mount. just as good as the 250+ kind. have worked with both now and both do have a little bit of play...nothing detrimental though.

Comments about Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter:

Easily snap in and out, great for fast lens changing if u are in a budget and don't have one adapter for each lens. Of course, everything manual...

Comments about Bower ABEOSN Lens Adapter:

I now can use my Nikkor prime lenses and bellows focusing attachment on my Canon body...why not!!! Nikkor lenses are excellent optics usually sold for much less than their performance merits. Manual focusing is great for portraiture, commercial, macro work, etc.
The adapter attaches and detaches easily without binding and is inexpensive, so buy one for each lens to maximize efficiency! There is a small amount of play Bower should eliminate, so the fit is not as snug as lenses made for the camera mount, but I haven't found any image degradation. What is there to lose?
