24mm f/2.8 Nikkor-N Auto (Non-Ai) on Canon XSi?

Zoran

I tried to search on ebay for an adapter but couldn't see Non-Ai model mentioned.

Cold you please comment is it possible to mount it on EOS without problems.
I would like to try it.

My friend gave two lenses to me last night to play. He mentioned that both are with Nikon mount.

24mm f/2.8 Nikkor-N Auto (Non-Ai)
&
Auto Promaster Spectrum 7 MC 1:3.5-4.5 f= 28-80mm (with MACRO switch on lens)

Not much on the Net about this Promaster.

Thanks a lot.

Nikon-EOS-adapters do not care about AI or non-AI.
On a Canon crop DSLR you can use any Nikkor lens (execpt those weird superwide lenses with protruding rear parts).

The 2.8/24 non-AI is a fantastic lens!!

Thank you for your quick answer. I am going to order one adapter today and post the test pictures soon for your review.
I am looking into this one:

I think it will do the work. It's one of the cheapest available. Don't have money for the most expensive adapters.

Cheers,

Yep, that'll do.
There is only one thing I do not really like about this kind of adapter: it has springs that hold it "fast" to the lens bajonet.
I rather like the ones that do not use springs but solid metal pieces with a gap in between. These gaps can be adjusted to a firm fit.

Depending on the lens this spring solution does not fit well.

Seller pointed to me that won't fit well.

Could you please send me link to e-bay of one you like? I will buy it.
You are really supportive and I appreciate your time.
Kind regards,
Zoran
