I'd get the adaptors here or here

Nikon G to Canon EOS Adapter. Weird but true, this crazy adapter lets you actuate the diaphragm of G lenses, like Nikon's latest extraordinary 14-24mm, for use on Canon. Used on the Canon 1Ds Mk III , you can get better images than you can from anything from Nikon. Weird but true!

 

STRANGE BUT TRUE!!

Adorama pays top dollar for your used gear.

B&H Photo - Video - Pro Audio

I use these stores. I can't vouch for ads below.

You can get an adaptor to put Nikon lenses on Canon EOS film and digital cameras.

Canon cameras have a shorter distance between the lens flange and film plane than Nikon. Therefore there are a couple of millimeters left over into which a metal mounting adaptor can fit.

Novoflex makes one in Germany you can get here or here and this place here makes one. Yes, some of it's in Japanese. Zoerk makes some weird stuff also in Germany.

Look out: these things are so weird that the photos at some of the sites erroneously show the even more bizarre reverse adaptor for Canon which couples the electronic contacts from the one end of the lens to the other. The one they're selling at those links is the one you want which is just a slim metal ring. You want the $200 one. The reverse adaptor you don't want is $400.

Oddly, Nikon manual focus lenses on most Nikon AF cameras are almost useless and provide no metering. These same manual lenses used with these adaptors on Canon EOS cameras provide metering, more function than on most Nikon AF cameras. Strange but true!

For the intrepid you can of course get anything in Japan. See here and here and no, I can't understand Japanese so don't ask me what it says!

Here's a much bigger page with a lot more details.

I bought one of the Roxsen adapters with AF confirmation in September 2007. See my Roxsen review for explicit details.

SRB-Griturn make weird stuff, too.

Have fun!

Help me help you         top

I support my growing family through this website, as crazy as it might seem.

The biggest help is when you use any of these links to Adorama, Amazon, eBay, B&H, Ritz, Calumet, J&R and ScanCafe when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live. It costs you nothing, and is this site's, and thus my family's, biggest source of support. These places have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally.

If you find this page as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.

If you've gotten your gear through one of my links or helped otherwise, you're family. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks!

If you haven't helped yet, please do, and consider helping me with a gift of $5.00.
