About Nikon-F to EOS adapters ...

Hi all,

I'm looking for a Nikon-F to EOS adapter (*not* for a Nikon-Ai to EOS adapter, already have one of these). I'm planning to use it with my Nikon-F lenses (55/3.5 Micro, 35/2, 50/1.4, 135/2.8, 105/2.5).
These lenses don't fit (or hardly fit) my Nikon-Ai to EOS adapter and, anyway, i'm unable to turn the diaphragm ring once mounted on the adapter.
Since the option of converting them to Ai is simply too expensive here in Toulouse (asked 75 euros/lens), i'm willing to buy an adapter explicitly made for Nikon-F lenses.
Apparently this one (Click here to see on Ebay), this one (Click here to see on Ebay) and this one (Click here to see on Ebay) seem to do the job ...

Is any of you already using one of these with Nikon-F lenses ?

Thanks in advance for your replies ...

Not one of those adapters. For my F lenses (same ones Smile), I use very inexpensive (<$US10) Nikon-EOS from China:





Not a problem at all, imho, the inner tabs which hold the Nikkor tabs over time need tightening -- there is a slot for a blade to widen the tabs for a snug fit, a 30 second fix. Some people complain the adapter is loose, when the simple procedure makes like new again.

I bought my Nikon F to EOS adapter over 2 years ago. Bought it from Big IS. I just checked what he's selling now, and he doesn't even sell anymore what I bought. His are all chipped now.

Mine looks just like Visualopsin's. It is thin enough where I can mount either pre-AI or AI/AIs lenses without any problems.

This appears to be the same as mine (ours):

The Cinevate adapter works too, or you can just file the edge of your existing AI adapter, I did it on mine wen I had a 5D before receiving a "proper" adapter for pre-AI, and it worked great.
