Hi

Is your lens like this one ...

Click here to see on Ebay ?

If so, I don't think that you can use it on anything other than the Kiev 10, 15 type cameras.

Each of the lenses is available with different mounts - designed for different cameras. As far as I know (but I sometimes get these things wrong !) the only lenses which have anything like "automatic" in the name are the "AUTOMAT" (or "ABTOMAT") lenses designed for the Kiev 10 and Kiev 15 cameras. Here are lenses for sale in ebay

Do your lenses look like these ?

Hi.

I don't think that it will be possible to adapte the Kiev 10, Kiev 15 lenses to your Nikon. The lenses don't have an aperture ring. The aperture is controlled by the camera. So - even if you could modify the lens mount(s) you would have to shoot wide open ! Modification to include aperture control would be very difficult - and expensive !

If you want to use Russian lenses on Nikon cameras there are several possibilities.

1. Lenses designed for the Kiev 19 camera. Examples include the Helios 81 N 2/50, Mir 24 N, 2/35, Kaleinar 5 H, 2.8/100. There are others. These lenses have a Nikon Ai(s) mount.

2. M42 lenses such as the Jupiter 9 2/85 and Jupiter 11 4/135. There are lots of others. You will need to use an adapter. There are basically two types of adapter. One is a simple mechanical adapter which does not provide infinity focus because of the difference in Registration lengths between M42 and Nikon F. The second type of adapter incorporates an optical element which permits infinity focusing. In theory this leads to a degradation of image quality. Whether or not you can see this degradation is a matter of debate. There are some who suggest that you shouldn't even consider this route.

3. Russian "A" mount lenses such as the Mir 10A 3.5/28 and Jupiter 11A. There are a few others. These lenses often come with an M42 mount which can easily be replaced with another such as M39, Pentax K or Nikon F. Infinity focus is not lost.

4. Pentacon 6 mount lenses. These are designed for medium format cameras - such as the Pentacon 6 ! A simple mechanical adapter permits infinity focus.

These lenses have been discussed extensively on this forum and elswhere. However if you have specific queries I'm sure that someone will help.

EDIT. My own experience is limited to the Nikon D40x, D60 cameras. You should probably seek endorsement from a D90 owner.
