Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Shift Adapter - M42 Screw Mount SLR Lens to Fujifilm X-Series Mirrorless Camera Body

I bought this in order to use my Nikkor 24mm f1.8G on my Fuji X-E1. I knew the lens had excellent corner-to-corner sharpness as I've used it on 35mm film and it's one of my favourite lenses for such. The Fotodiox adapter is extremely well made, fits perfectly to both camera and lens, shift and aperture controls are v smooth and well-damped (although the throw of the latter is very short) Obviously you can't get precise aperture clicks so I just looked through the front of the lens and turned the ring until it looked about halfway stopped down. I didn't want to use fully stopped down because of diffraction. Contrary to my expectations, aperture-priority metering gave perfect results even with the lens fully shifted. It's not easy to focus a G lens manually, there's no infinity stop (although you'd be unwise to trust such with an adapter anyway) so it's worth taking great care over that. I assumed a stopped-down 24mm lens would get everything, I was wrong! I think probably it can focus beyond infinity, but if you're careful it'll be fine. Possibly the 20mm f1.8G would be an even better match for these purposes (= 30mm) but I like the "natural" perspective the 24mm gives. One caveat: the edge of the dedicated Nikon lens hood was just visible in some shots. Best leave it off, ditto filters. But for £84 this is a really good piece of kit. I haven't tried an actual shift lens on my Nikons but I don't see how they'd do a better job. And I'm not about to start shooting 4x5!

I needed to use my Nikon lenses on my new Fujifilm X mount camera and in particular, my fast Nikon 50mm f/1.4 FX lens. This has worked out extremely well. The adapter connects firmly to my lens with little or no play, although I can remove the lens from it without trouble by sliding the lens mount lock BACKWARDS. The adapter then connects to the camera exactly as you would expect. I have been using this arrangement for several months without any issues. The lens operates in manual mode, but this has worked out very well on my Fujifilm X-T1 body. I have effectively got a Nikon quality 75mm lens. The image quality is excellent and I have been able to take clean sharp images with reasonable bokeh without feeling that this is a compromise. Even wide open at f/1.4 the lens/adapter arrangements gives solid results. The 50mm Nikon is a small lens so the balance is very acceptable, however, if you are planning to use any big lenses, you may find it more awkward to handle. The 56mm Fujifilm lens that I was previously planning to get has slipped way down my priority list as the only advantage it would convey is autofocus and perhaps improved balance. If you are not planning to shoot some kind of action or reportage photography, autofocus is no more than a nice-to-have. Great for your snaps, but for most other types of photography, manual focus is best. Definitely recommended.

Bought it for some old Tamron Adaptall lenses I had. I am shooting on a Fujifilm X-E series camera. It's well built and attaches easily. Makes all your old lenses usable, however it does not offer infinity focus at the highest aperture on my 28mm lens, only getting there at around 4f. Just something to be aware of if you intend to use the adapter at night or in low light settings.

Bought this adapter to use my Nikon 50 1.4d & 1.2ais lenses on my XE1. The adapter is well made and solid, it mounts quite tightly to my Nikon lenses but is an easier fit to the camera; it has no slop or play when is use. It is discrete and when mounted with a lens it looks good and does not look out of place. When using my Nikon 50 1.2ais the camera feels unbalanced and not pleasant to use because there is a lot of glass and metal in the 1.2ais and the adapter moves the lens further away from the camera, the 50 1.4d is lighter and easier to handle on the camera - although, still slightly unbalanced. Both lenses have aperture rings, smooth focus rings and work fine on the XE1; if you intend to use Nikon G type lenses with this adapter they will not work properly because you lose aperture control. The adapter looses a star for a couple of small machining marks and the lever to remove your lens is quite stiff and is not smooth. Overall, the adapter is good value for money and generally well made.

Mounting a lens is perfect. However it does not attach to camera body, I tried a genuine Fuji lens cap first placed it on rear mount felt extremely loose then realised it was not fully fitted, turned a little more and discovered it was so tight I had to grip it tightly to remove, this was concerning in itself, I then tried it on my camera Body an X-T5, the bayonet will not attach at all, also tried it on a second Body an X-E1, again the same it will not attach, completely unable to twist the adapter to body. Extremely poor quality, I have to add Chinese products are a far, far better quality product. My advice is to avoid Fotodiox products like a plague, unfortunately I am awaiting two other adapters for OM to FX, a shift and a Rhinocam Vertex, hopefully they will have a properly machined Bayonet.

Good quality lens adapter

My Nikkor old lenses finally got to see daylight again. The mount is secured and easy to mount and dismount lenses. The is a lever at the side of the adapter which I am not sure the purpose for. There is no instruction manual. Tested about 7 lenses from ultra wide angle to tele and macro all focusing distances works well. Now I don't feel the need to buy ultrawide and macro lenses for my Fuji already.

Simple mais efficace. M'a permis l'adaptation d'un vielle objectif Rank Taylor Hobson sur mon Fuji X-T10 avec un gros sourire à la clef :)
