Title: Best adapter Canon body/Nikon lens
Post by: Huib on January 04, 2008, 05:54:48 am
The new Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S seems to be a fabulous lens which Canon can’t deliver. But to use it on a 1Ds3 you need an adapter.
What is the best adopter for this combination? The one from 16:9 (http://www.16-9.net/nikon_g/)?

The 14-24 Nikon is a "G" lens without an aperture ring.  Mark's (16:9.net) forthcoming adapter will be the only one out there that can actuate the aperture of such lenses on Canon bodies.

I didn't see this post at this forum. So more information you can find here! (http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21231)
I ordered an adaptor on 16:9.net and don't buy the new Canon 14mm but instead the Nikon 14-24mm F2.8

HappypageHK is a seller on ebay who may be the manufacturer of these adapters.  I own three of his adapters. (Pentax, Nikon and Olympus)  They work pretty well and cost between 50 to seventy bucks.
