Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter - Nikon Nikkor F Mount D/SLR Lens to Micro Four Thirds (MFT, M4/3) Mount Mirrorless Camera Body, (10NKM43P)

I purchased an Olympus E-PM1 as a second camera to carry around when I don't want to lug the big DSLR. Well I have a nice 50mm prime lens that I love and wanted to give it a shot on the E-PM1. For the price, it's a great value so I figured I'd buy the Nikon to MFT adapter.I was very happy with the build quality. It was a snug fit on the Olympus and the 50mm prime snapped right on. I didn't have any problems figuring out how to get it to work like some people did, but I'm a little more tech-savy than most I guess.You WILL have to MANUAL focus as there are no electronic pins connecting the camera to the lens, so if this scares you then don't buy it.All in all, I am extremely pleased with this purchase and am considering buying the Canon adapter. If you're comfortable with manually focusing your camera this is such an easy product to use, I don't see why you wouldn't spend a little money on it. Highly recommend.

This is easily the best $35 I've spent on camera stuff in a long time. I have a large collection of older Nikon lenses, and this adapter makes it possible to use some of my old favorites on my Olympus E-PL2.There are a couple of caveats you should know about:1.) There is no auto-focus when using this adapter, so it works best with lenses that have a decent amount of "feel" to the focus ring. Some later-model Nikon AF lenses have very loose focusing mechanisms (so that they present less resistance to the in-body focusing motor) but they can be twitchy when used as manual focus lenses.2.) You must stop the lens down to the desired aperture before shooting. This may darken the image in the viewfinder / LCD screen. This is necessary to get an accurate exposure reading, since the camera has no idea what the lens' maximum aperture is, and it has no way to set the aperture, anyway. Those of us who grew up with old-school Pentax and early Nikon cameras know this as "stop down metering". I used the camera in "P" mode -- I set the aperture, and the camera adjusted the exposure accordingly. You can tweak the exposure using the +- adjustment just as you would a normal Oly lens.3.) No operation with "G" lenses or AF-S lenses. Sorry, but this is just a mounting adapter, and it makes no attempt to connect the camera's electronics to the lens electronics.Caveats aside, I tried this with a few of my favorite Nikon lenses and was thrilled with the results, including the 50 mm f/1.4 AF, 60 mm f/2.8 AF, and 85 mm f/1.8 AF. All three produced sharp images with excellent detail, even at the corners. Since the Nikon lenses were designed to cover a full-frame (24 x 36 mm) 35mm film frame, the Olympus is only using the center of the lens - the part with the best performance and least distortion.Without the AF, I wouldn't try this setup for shooting an NBA game - but it would be fine for posed subjects, studio shots, and slow-moving wildlife work.I did not encounter any issues attaching or removing the adapter from any of my lenses.

Seeing all of the negative reviews gave me pause for concern, but I went ahead and ordered this adapter anyway. I'm glad I did. The copy that I received was well machined and well finished. It fit my 4/3 body (E-PL1) and 8 different Nikkor manual focus lenses perfectly. No problems mounting or demounting the Nikkor lenses with the adapter. No excess play. All of my lenses focused at infinity.The only thing that kept me from rating this adapter 5-star is that the interior is a smooth gloss finish. It would be a truly excellent product had the manufacturer made the interior with ribbing/matte finish to reduce the chance of flair.

This is an inexpensive adapter that allows you to mate a dumb (non-electronic) Nikon/Nikkor lens with a micro four thirds (MFT, M4/3) lens mount.I am using two of these adapters with 20 - 30 year old Nikon glass and a new Panasonic AF100 HD video camera. I am very pleased with the ease of mounting both the lenses to the adapter and the adapter to the camera body.I have used cheap adapters in the past to connect Nikon lenses to cameras such as the Canon 7D and Canon 5DmkII. These MFT adapters are vastly superior, as I do not feel that I am about to break them in half. When adapting my lenses to the Canon mounts I purchased an adapter for every lens because excessive connection/disconnection would quickly destroy the adapter. These particular adapters are much sturdier and more well made. While I purchased two of them, I now see that I could have gotten by with only one. However, at such an excellent low price it is prudent to have a spare in reserve for critical shooting.BOTTOM LINE: I am very pleased. Unless you have newer Nikon glass that requires an intelligent interface, I do not see why you would choose a more expensive option than this.

Well-made product. You need to use lenses that have both manual focus rings and manual aperture rings, since you have to set both manually. There will be no autofocus. I attached Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens to a Lumix GF3 body and it's fine, since that lens has both a focus ring and an aperture ring. On the GF3, turning on "MF Assist" and touching the screen to activate it can help you get your focusing perfectly sharp at shallower depths of field when necessary.You'll have to use Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority or full-manual mode. Metering works fine. Your photos will not have EXIF information for things like f-stop, exposure bias, and focal length, but exposure time and ISO will be recorded in the data. You must set the camera to "Shoot w/o Lens" or it'll tell you there's no lens attached.Take your time and be careful attaching the adapter to the lens. Look carefully to see where everything lines up. Mounting the lens with the adapter to the camera body is just like mounting any m4/3 lens.I recommend this product and give it five stars, since it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
