Nikon F / OM / EOS to m43 adapters

[Dream Merchant]

By now, I'm sure some of you might have have a better idea of which adapters might be better, no?

I haven't been fooling around as much with my DSLRs recently, and have just gotten a E-PL2, which I believe is a micro43.

Any recommendations on some of the adapters I might be able to use with the EPL2 (Nikon F, Oly OM, Rollei to EOS adapted)?

First time I'm owning a m43.

Thanks!


BTW, my Voight 125mm Green Box set is still for sale.

I think these adaptor is not difficult to made. Most cheap adaptor should works fine with most non-heavy lens. For the nikon adaptor, look for a Nikon G adaptor if you will use AF lens with no aperture ring.

Note: I don't own any m4/3 camera.

I would probably use only the old manual Nikon lenses with the aperture ring, or non-G lenses so that I could double them up and use on my EOS mount.

The lenses might be a bit heavy - 85 tilt-shift and I'm thinking the old ED 180mm 2.8.

Which ebay ones would you recommend?

[calvin83]

I cannot make any recommandations to you as I have no person experince with any of these adaptors. You may refer to this link in mu-43:

You may need a tripod ring mount for your adaptor when use mount the 2.8/180 ED when you are using a tripod.

As promised, a brief review ...

I borrowed a no-name EOS-m43 adapter from a friend, and also ordered this same ( I hope) adapter as it seemed to work well!

I have OM, Nikkor as well as a Rollei - all adapted to EOS.

So it made sense to me to try a EOS-m43 adapter, instead of getting OM-m43, K-m43 and Rollei-m43 adapters.

Since I have infinity focus on all my EOS adapted lenses, I suspected that I would also get infinity focus on all these lenses when using the EOS-m43 adapter. And I was right!

Some photos of the Nikon and Rollei lenses > EOS adapter > m43 adapter and a few sample photos.











Coudn't resist ...
