Comments about Adorama Adorama Nikon Lens To Canon EOS Body Adapter:

Not a bad adapter, once you've adjusted the spring tension manually. Otherwise, there's a good deal of twist play in the lens (which makes follow focus impossible.) Adorama should check the tolerances and make sure that these are rock solid before sending them out. The units are nicely machined and look great and are definitely a step above the HK Ebay specials, but could be improved through testing.

Disappointed...

Comments about Adorama Adorama Nikon Lens To Canon EOS Body Adapter:

I had high hopes for this product, but was a little skeptical after seeing the price... And sure enough, my negative feeling came true immediately after I seated a lens on the camera. It doesn't lock securely... it has a sloppy "play" feel to it. Which, in turn, gives me 50/50 chance of being in focus.

So, if you like those odds, then go for it! Me, I'm looking elsewhere for a more reliable product.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Nikon Lens To Canon EOS Body Adapter:

I don't know why this is giving some people problems with focus, unless it's the lens. It should be a simple matter of lengthening the flange-to-focal-length distance by 2.5mm, and this measures exactly that by my calipers. I.e. it is accurately spaced. I do wish it was a little cheaper. I also ordered a Contax > EOS adapter, similar build, same mfgr (Fotodiox)and it cost half as much. Maybe the machining is more complicated? Not much else to say about this item - it is basically just a fancy bushing.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Nikon Lens To Canon EOS Body Adapter:

Well it works, in that you can attach a Nikon lens to a Canon body, in my case a Rebel XSI. However, infinity focus is NOT where it should be, thus you cannot simply rack the focus ring to infinity and expect you image to be in focus. It is badly out of focus on infinity, and you must stop the ring prior to the infinity symbol to have sharp focus. It's also a bit loose and jams the aperture ring at times. I am able to make it work, and focus, using the Live View on the XSI. Curious to see how the more expensive ones fare in comparison.

No better than cheap [...] adapters
By Ken the hobbyistVerified Reviewer from NYC on 12/1/2008
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Pros:
Consistent Output, Durable, Strong Construction
Cons:
Focus past infinity, Overpriced
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Adorama Adorama Nikon Lens To Canon EOS Body Adapter:

I purchased this because the cheap $10 adapter I bought off [...] focused a bit PAST INFINITY, meaning if you want to achieve infinity focus in your image, you actually need to set the focus on the lens a little SHORT of infinity. Turns out this adapter has the same problem. It also has an almost identical build quality to the cheap [...] adapters. Additionally, it's a bit misleading to advertise this as an Adorama branded adapter when it's actually a Fotodiox adapter. Had I known this from the start I would not have purchased it, as I was already aware that Fotodiox adapters focus a bit past infinity.Bottom line is, a cheap $10 [...] adapter provides equal performance for a fraction of the price.

 
Not as good as hoped

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Adorama Adorama Nikon Lens To Canon EOS Body Adapter:

I'm glad that the other architectural photographer had good results from his but my adapter on a 28PC produced images with complex geometric problems that makes it useless to me. I borrowed another adapter from a friend and it was much better. Of course it cost five times what this one does. It will be ok for most types of photography but architectural work is extremely critical and my adapter did not cut the mustard.

This product does what is suppose to, it is just a bit hard to attach to the lens or camera. In general it does a good job.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Nikon Lens To Canon EOS Body Adapter:

I had no idea when I ordered this that it would be so well manufactured and assembled. The adapter is surprisingly solid and durable, as well as a nearly perfect fit on both the Nikon F lens mount and Canon EOS body mount. There is no wiggling, tilting, rotating, or movement of any sort when a lens is attached. I was easily able to attach any number of older Nikon lenses to my 30D body, with no snags whatsoever. The focusing (although only manual) yields excellent (let me emphasize, excellent!) images, just as sharp as any equivalent lens made for the EOS system.

I am thoroughly impressed with this product, and would suggest it to anyone with a large collection of Nikon lenses who wishes to use them in an EOS digital or film environment. It absolutely satisfies that need.

The last point that must be made is the advantage to this specific product over other manufacturers. The premium is, quite frankly, unnecessary.

Stop reading and add this to your cart!

Works flawlessly
By ChrisVerified Reviewer from WA on 5/28/2008

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Adorama Adorama Nikon Lens To Canon EOS Body Adapter:

I've seen similar adapters for sale that cost 5 times more but this works flawlessly!

I've used this with Nikkor N and Nikkor PC lenses on my Digital Rebel 350D and the images look fantastic. Keep in mind this isn't a tool for casual photographers as you will need to operate this on full manual settings.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Nikon Lens To Canon EOS Body Adapter:

I had a job shooting exteriors of a large building from several rooftop positions. Shooting with Canon, the 24mm ts lens was too wide and the 45mm ts lens was too long so I needed to use a nikon 35mm pc lens on my Canon EOS 1DS and this adapter made that possible and it worked absolutely perfectly. Images were tack sharp and in perfect perspective, the client was DuPont and the images had to be perfect, prints were 3 feet high. Thanks, Thom
