FotodioxLens Mount Adapter, Nikon, Nikkor Lens to Fujifilm X-Pro1 Mirrorless Camera

I bought this in order to use my Nikkor 24mm f1.8G on my Fuji X-E1. I knew the lens had excellent corner-to-corner sharpness as I've used it on 35mm film and it's one of my favourite lenses for such.The Fotodiox adapter is extremely well made, fits perfectly to both camera and lens, shift and aperture controls are v smooth and well-damped (although the throw of the latter is very short)Obviously you can't get precise aperture clicks so I just looked through the front of the lens and turned the ring until it looked about halfway stopped down. I didn't want to use fully stopped down because of diffraction.Contrary to my expectations, aperture-priority metering gave perfect results even with the lens fully shifted.It's not easy to focus a G lens manually, there's no infinity stop (although you'd be unwise to trust such with an adapter anyway) so it's worth taking great care over that. I assumed a stopped-down 24mm lens would get everything, I was wrong! I think probably it can focus beyond infinity, but if you're careful it'll be fine.Possibly the 20mm f1.8G would be an even better match for these purposes (= 30mm) but I like the "natural" perspective the 24mm gives.One caveat: the edge of the dedicated Nikon lens hood was just visible in some shots. Best leave it off, ditto filters.But for £84 this is a really good piece of kit. I haven't tried an actual shift lens on my Nikons but I don't see how they'd do a better job. And I'm not about to start shooting 4x5!

The Fotodiox Nikon to Fuji lens adapter allows Nikon lenses with aperture rings, to fit to Fuji's X system cameras (there is a different adapter or Nikon 'G' lenses). The reason I went for the more basic adapter is because I have plenty of older lenses and my newer Nikon lenses tend to be zooms, which are much bigger and heavier, so not really ideal for mounting on an X-E1.The basic idea is that by adding the adapter, you increase the flange distance between the camera and the lens and add system adapter to the camera (in this case the Nikon F mount). The system is really basic and works well. Everything works manually and you have to set the camera to work without lenses, as there are not contact points between the camera and adapter. Aperture is handled through lens and you have to manual focus (which isn't to hard, even at low apertures, with the X-E1 zoom and focus peaking ability).The build of the adapter is very good, it took me a few minutes to work out how to remove the lens (there is a round button, which I tried to push and pull (in fact you need to slide back to open the lens lock). I would suggest, that Fotodiox create a small video showing how unmount lens process and put it on their site.I have a small problem with importing the product Fotodiox were very good and refunded the extra money I had to pay very promptly after I raised the issue with them.All in all I am very pleased with the adapter.

Bought this adapter to use my Nikon 50 1.4d & 1.2ais lenses on my XE1.The adapter is well made and solid, it mounts quite tightly to my Nikon lenses but is an easier fit to the camera; it has no slop or play when is use. It is discrete and when mounted with a lens it looks good and does not look out of place.When using my Nikon 50 1.2ais the camera feels unbalanced and not pleasant to use because there is a lot of glass and metal in the 1.2ais and the adapter moves the lens further away from the camera, the 50 1.4d is lighter and easier to handle on the camera - although, still slightly unbalanced. Both lenses have aperture rings, smooth focus rings and work fine on the XE1; if you intend to use Nikon G type lenses with this adapter they will not work properly because you lose aperture control.The adapter looses a star for a couple of small machining marks and the lever to remove your lens is quite stiff and is not smooth.Overall, the adapter is good value for money and generally well made.

I needed to use my Nikon lenses on my new Fujifilm X mount camera and in particular, my fast Nikon 50mm f/1.4 FX lens. This has worked out extremely well.The adapter connects firmly to my lens with little or no play, although I can remove the lens from it without trouble by sliding the lens mount lock BACKWARDS. The adapter then connects to the camera exactly as you would expect.I have been using this arrangement for several months without any issues. The lens operates in manual mode, but this has worked out very well on my Fujifilm X-T1 body. I have effectively got a Nikon quality 75mm lens. The image quality is excellent and I have been able to take clean sharp images with reasonable bokeh without feeling that this is a compromise. Even wide open at f/1.4 the lens/adapter arrangements gives solid results. The 50mm Nikon is a small lens so the balance is very acceptable, however, if you are planning to use any big lenses, you may find it more awkward to handle.The 56mm Fujifilm lens that I was previously planning to get has slipped way down my priority list as the only advantage it would convey is autofocus and perhaps improved balance. If you are not planning to shoot some kind of action or reportage photography, autofocus is no more than a nice-to-have. Great for your snaps, but for most other types of photography, manual focus is best.Definitely recommended.

The item seems to be working as expected, and was delivered on time.Only complaint is about packaging: the light cardboard was shipped in an envelope, which by the time ir got to me, was completely destroyed.luckily, the item is sturdy.

Todo perfecto... Hecho de Muy buen material y calidad... Bastante recomendable

Utile allo scopo

Principal avantage : on trouve beaucoup d'appareils argentiques Fujica à très bas prix, aujourd'hui, dont les optiques sont excellentes (s'il n'y a pas de champignons dedans). Une lentille ne vieillit pas, et les lentilles Fujica argentiques vintage ont de très belles qualités optiques. Donc vous pouvez trouveer un objectif de délire pour 30 euros ! Avec cette bague, il pourra s'adapter sur votre boîtier Fuji X (XT-3, 4 ou 5, X-Pro, etc.). Produit précis, impeccable et robuste. Fonctionne très bien sur Fuji XT-3, XT-5 et X-Pro. Avec cette bague (qui ne permet aucune communication d'informations électriques entre l'objectif et le boîtier) vous devez évidemment mettre TOUS les paramètres de l'appareil en manuel : la mise au point; les ISO (100 si soleil, 200 si nuages, 400 ou 800 en intérieur...); la vitesse (125 centièmes de seconde par défaut, ou 250 si soleil, ou 60 si sombre) et régler l'ouverture souhaitée directement sur l'objectif. Idéal pour les objectifs vintage (point d'attention : vous devez paramétrer votre boîtier avec la fonction "Prise de vues sans objectif : OUI"). L'infini fonctionne très bien. Astuce, utiliser l'aide à la mise au point que proposent beaucoup d'appreils : la zone nette s'affiche en rouge. Très bons produits.

Après un premier essais raté avec une bague de la marque K&F qui ne permettait pas la mise au point à l'infinie, j'ai tenté celle ci de chez Fotodiox.Et hop miracle là c'est bon, il faut être hyper précis surtout à pleine ouverture mais ça le fait :)J'ai déjà acheté d'autres bagues dans cette marque et je n'ai jamais été déçu.La construction à l'air très bien. A voir dans le temps.
