MFT to Nikon lens adapter

PostSun May 19, 2013 3:34 pm

Hi all.
I have a bunch of old Nikon AI lenses that i'd like to use.
Would anyone know which is the best adapter I should get when I do eventually get my MFT version BMCC?
thanks

Metabones. They're regularly low on stock on that model though, but those Nikon AI-S are awesome.

There are F-to-MFT lens mount adapters available from many different vendors. I've heard Metabones adapters are very good.

I've been using a F-to-MFT adapter from Fotodiox (one of their "pro" models) for years with my Panasonic GH1 & GH2 cameras and it works fine.

Some Nikkor lenses require a "G" type adapter to enable lens iris control with lenses that don't have an aperture ring on the lens barrel.

There's Nikkor-related info available on my blog:

MTF services. Their adapters are meticulously crafted and work flawlessly.
