Nikon -> to Canon -> to A7s?

Hi there,

I'm curious if something like this may work or it's just a stupid idea.
I've Nikkor lenses and I'm already using them on EOS camera with adapters like these: http://amzn.com/B001G4QXLE
They work just fine.

Now I'm wondering if I could use the same lenses on a Sony A7s using an EOS to Sony adapter, something like this: http://amzn.com/B003Y302CG

Why? Because this way I could simply buy one adapter only (EOS to E-mount) and use all my (adapted) EOS lenses (Nikon, M42, OM and so forth...)

Do you think this would work? (I *really* hope it can work!!)

Yes of course it will work. I do the same so I can use M42 lenses on my Minolta fit Lens Turbo.

Yes of course it work, but why compromise further on rigidity and tolerances when you can buy a separate adapter (preferably with decent quality) for not much more.

Yes it takes up a bit more space, but you can exchange lenses much easier, if the adapter is already mounted on them.

Accumulating tolerances is more of a problem with wide angle lenses than normal or telephoto lenses.

Seems like this is leading toward a mix of adapters. I might buy a nice Sony adapter for a very good wide angle lens, and, use Nikkor-Sony adapter as you suggest in your question.
