Hi all,
I'm looking for some xxx-to-EOS adapter rings. After browsing through the forum, i understand that Big_is adapters are quite reliable. Nevertheless, this seller has a new line of "high precision" adapters in his catalog, like Click here to see on Ebay ...
Does any of you already use such a kind of adapters ? They are more expensive than the "ordinary" EMF adapters from the same seller, as Click here to see on Ebay ... Do you think the "high precision" are worth their prices ?
The adapters are for a 5DII camera (if this counts) ...
Thanks in advance for your replies ...

I am not sure about what is the meaning of "high precision". Many Chinese seller will put this on their item description.
For Nikon F to Canon EOS adaptor, the most important thing is the locking mechanism. Some cheap adaptor will not hold the lens firmly. Personally, I prefer the lever type locking mechanism of the cheaper adaptor.

Can you explicit a bit more, please ? I have seen that some of the Big_is Nikon-to-EOS adapters are described as having a smart-lock lever. Is this the lever you are talking about ?

The lever should be on the back of the adaptor like this one on bigis shop or this Novoflex adaptor.
BTW, the supplier of your M42 EOS adaptor makes a very good Nikon to EOS adaptor.

Thus, since i bought my M42 EOS adapters from you, i suppose you can get also Nikon-to-EOS adapters ?
