Nikkor primes on my Canon

[kitalight]

I’ve got Canon L IQ for under $100…well maybe…with an adapter I’m using my old Nikkor primes (24/2.8, 85/2, 135/2.8, 200/4) on my 10D.
Yes, you have to focus yourself, and the aperture is manual, but they are so bright thru my 10D that even stopped down a click or 2 is still easy to focus.

This is my new 70's version of the 300/4.5 nikkor and is the cheapest one out there (fleabayed for <$100 with adapter I can use with my other Nikkors)...it came AI modified, but that isn't needed on the Canon adapter...and the results are fine...a steal of a deal in fact

I'm quite impressed. I think i'm going to end up buying a lot of adapters.
