Novoflex EOS/NIK-NT Lens Adapter for Nikon G Type Lenses to Canon EOS DSLR Cameras

Bought this to be able to use the Nikon 14-24 on my Canon 5D MkII. Works perfectly and is a fine precision instrument. The only problem is the expense. I was worried about close tolerances and paint flaking off on my sensor from cheaper alternatives, so I guess you get what you pay for.

I'm now able to use a Nikon 14-24mm f 2.8G on Canon bodies (or any other G lens for that matter). The adapter mounts the lens firmly to the camera body and the aperture ring works well. Novoflex did a good job on this one. I may purchase another if I purchase any more Nikkor G lenses.

I had two "made in China" adapters before getting this and I got this only for the aperture lever. I have to say it fits more tightly than the other two adapters that I used, which is nice. I've been using this for over an year now.If I'm trying to find faults in this there are three that are worth mentioning:1. Aperture lever is too short and stays too close to the surface of the camera body. This can make it difficult because you need to use the side of your finger or the tip of your finger to make aperture adjustments.2. The Nikon F aperture lever on the rear of the lens has a very short travel (from max aperture to min aperture) because it's meant to be controlled by a motor or whatever in the camera body at a very high precision. So when using the lever on the adapter, it's sometimes possible to make adjustments that are too big. If they had an option to extend the adapter's lever to get more travel and therefore make precise movements, things would've been ideal and would've solved problem #1 above too.3. Why doesn't this have a focus confirmation chip, especially at this price?! Zeiss ZE 50 1.4 has this feature along with the automatic aperture and not to mention the 7 elements of good glass carefully installed in a well built metal barrel with a smooth focus helicoid all for $700 something, while this flimsy adapter that's not even fully metal costs $300! Frankly, I don't rely on focus confirmation most of the time but after a day of manual focusing with a fast prime your eyes and brain get tired and it doesn't hurt to have this feature which is purely optional anyway.

It is a nifty little gadget that allows you to mount your nikon lenses on a canon camera, perfect since a lot of the legacy nikon primes are cheap, manual only, and very very sharp. The aperture adjustment with the little blue tab is without stops, so you cannot really tell what aperture you are at, but that is what the LCD is very handy for. TTL flash still works, so the camera can still be semi auto when you set your shutter speed.
