Ok, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, so admin, feel free to move it.
Here is my issue:
I was given a VERY nice Nikon DX 10mm 2.8 fisheye lens and I want to put it on my Canon 7D viaa a EOS to Nikon adapter that I have used on all my Manual Nikon lenses. This is the FIRST time I am trying an auto lens.
The issue is that when you unmount the Nikon DX lenses, they seam to stop all the way down. I even tried throwing it on a nikon and setting it to 2.8, but when I take it off, I see BLADES!!!
Does ANYONE know a hack that I can apply to this lens to open it WIDE OPEN and KEEP IT WIDE OPEN. I see there is a mechanism on the back that when I push it, it opens the lens wide open. Should I jam that thing open so I can enjoy this fine glass on my Canon?
Any thoughts!
Thanks in advance! _________________ Chad Bonanno

All new Nikon lenses (and all DX lenses) are G lenses. The 'G' stands for 'gelded', these lenses do not have aperture rings.
What you need is either A.) The expensive Novoflex adapter with built-in aperture control for G lenses or B.) A Nikon body. _________________

Damn! I actually sprung for the 269.00 Novoflex adapter, but didnt have enough DX glass to justify ( plus had no knowledge of that adapter ) to spring for that model of the adapter.
SOOOOO I guess my question back to that little lever on the back of the lens, if its pushed down, the lens opens WIDE open. What do you think I should do ? Pin it down and hope for the best?
Thanks for the info _________________ Chad Bonanno

Nikkor lenses with aperture ring on body use the standard Nikon lens to Canon body adapter. For use on a Canon body, the newer G-series Nikkor lenses (which you can identify from the fact that they have no aperture ring) require an adapter which allows you to control the aperture via a lever. The Novoflex one is recommended, I have lots of colleagues who use the Nikkor 14-24/2.8G on their Canon bodies and they are very satisfied with adapter and results.
You either shoot only wide open or buy the correct adapter. Either way, I recommend you read this so that you can see how you should expect the results to be before RAW to JPEG conversion: Nikkor 10.5/2.8G DX Fisheye tested on Nikon crop sensor

very helpful brother! thanks a lot!
I actually just forced it with a small piece of wood to like a 3.5 and mounted it on my 7D. Fairly legit. I am going to try the 5D tomorrow , I am too tired to break it out tonight, but I assume the 5D will look like crap since its a lens designed for crop bodies!
Thanks again everyone _________________ Chad Bonanno

As you can see from the image, this lens is designed to cover a smaller area sensor. |
