Metabone MBNFG-L-BM1 Overview

The Lens Adapter for Nikon F-Mount, G-Type Lens to Leica L-Mount Adapter from Metabones enables you to mount select Nikon F-mount, G-type lenses to Leica, Sigma, and Panasonic L-mount cameras. It is designed to support focusing to infinity and is constructed from aluminum alloy with brass mounting rings to prevent wear-and-tear while providing a durable and lightweight connection.

To determine and adjust the amount of light that enters a Leica, Sigma, and Panasonic L-mount camera, an eight-stop aperture dial is built into this lens adapter. The aperture dial is designed to provide manual aperture control with full-stop increments for Nikon G-type lenses that do not have an aperture ring. The adapter does not support electronic aperture control, AF, or VR. Additionally, the adapter does not support Nikon E-series lenses such as the NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens, nor does it support Nikon PC Tilt-Shift lenses.

When an image is taken with this lens adapter, a matte black internal coating minimizes the potential for reflections inside the adapter barrel, which could otherwise result in unwanted glare within the image. Additionally, this lens adapter includes a detachable tripod foot that features 1/4"-20 threads as well as compatibility with Arca-type tripod heads.

  • Allows a Nikon F-mount lens to be used with Leica, Sigma, and Panasonic L-mount cameras
  • Attached lens can focus to infinity
  • Integrated, eight-stop aperture-control ring with half-stop increments provides aperture control for Nikon G-type as well as Nikon AI or many post-Nikon AI lenses
  • Detachable Arca-type compatible tripod foot with 1/4"-20 threads
  • Internal coating minimizes reflections within the adapter barrel
  • Aluminum alloy components for weight reduction
  • Brass mounting rings further prevent wear-and-tear

Best Nikon - L Mount Adapter with clickless Aperture

Clickless aperture ring with marked stops and same turning angle like all manual nikon compatible lenses. Perfect!

Best Adaptor By Far

I adapt the zeiss classic F mount lenses for my SL2S for both photo and video. This is my third adaptor and by far the best. The clickless aperture control is amazing, unlike others with a rather limited number of stops. And it is silent too, which is important for video.

So if I use my 24-70 2.8 or my 70-200 2.8 VR lens on a LUMIX S5, the automatic features won’t work, or you can’t use those lenses at all?
Asked by: Steve
You can use the lens as long as you meter in manual or aperture priority. No autofocus, though. In-body stabilization will work as long as you set the camera to the focal length you are using. Check the manual on how to do that.

Will this adapter work with Nikon mount Sigma ...

Will this adapter work with Nikon mount Sigma lenses or just Nikon lenses?
Asked by: Susie
The Metabones Lens Adapter for Nikon F-Mount, G-Type Lens to Leica L-Mount Adapter is a manual adapter without any automatic control. It will allow you to mount any Nikon F-mount lens including those made by Sigma. For focusing the lens will need to have mechanically coupled manual focus. For aperture control there would need to be mechanical coupling of the aperture as well, either with a dedicated aperture ring, or with a tab on the rear of the lens.
