This thing lives on my Sony A7II. After 5 years, it's still super smooth. It's held up better than any other adapter I've used and it's great being able to tilt any lens! Coolest accessory for your Sony mirrorless!

Very well made, works as advertised. The reason it did not get 5 stars: 1) the lubricant is a bit too thinn and so you'll be wiping it off fir the first couple of weeks when you tilt the adapter - also, dont lay the camera on its back in case the lubricant would get on the sensor. Otherwise great adapter fir the miney. I highly recommend it.

If you buy one of these, be sure to look through your viewfinder with a lens cap on your lens, and shine a light onto the adapter. When I did so, I saw extreme light leaks into the camera. Upon inspection, I clearly saw that the two curved surfaces that slide over each other were separated by about half a mm. Total waste of time and money. I will never buy Kipon again. I have an original Mirex TS adapter for Canon (which Kipon copied) that has no light leaks whatsoever.

All metal well made adaptor. If you know what you are doing this can be very handy. Tilt only, no shift. Not for novices 100% manual.

I purchased the Kipon Tilt Lens Adapter for the specific purpose of adding tilt capability to my old, but still very good, Nikon 28mm f3.5 PC (perspective control) lens. Since this lens already has shift I didn’t need an adapter that had both shift and tilt, and was very pleased to find that Kipon had an adapter with tilt only. That makes for a more compact and simpler interface. Happy to say that the adapter/Nikon PC lens combination works very well indeed especially since it provides for independent rotation for both tilt and shift. Highly recommended.Write your review here. It must be at least 10 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.

Nowadays, as the number of people using interchangeable lens digital cameras increases, proprietary combinations of camera lenses and bodies are no longer able to satisfy the increasingly sophisticated demands of the many photography enthusiasts. The use of lens adapters have given users full rein of customizing their equipment to best fulfill their needs through different combinations of lenses and camera bodies.
However, although individual camera manufacturers havecreated their own customized adapters, combining lenses and camera bodies of different manufacture has become an ever expanding challenge. At KIPON, a world-renown camera adapter manufacturer, we have developed over 400 types of adapters. With our various adapters, we offer our users the freedom and compatibility of lenses and camera bodies that transcends different times and manufacturers. We have made possible not only the interchangeable use of products across brands but also the use of traditional film lenses.
KIPON offers a full line of camera lens adapters including macro adapters, electronic adapters, adapters with integrated glass, optical focal reduction adapters, adapters with built in aperture control, tilt/shift adapters, tilt adapters, and shift adapters.
The KIPON TILT NIK-NEX adapter mounts Nikon F series manual lenses on Sony NEXmirrorless camera bodies. Please note that after mounting the adapter only manual focus will be accessible when shooting. This adapter features a 360 Degree free rotation in addition to a tilt function that can be tilted a maximum of 10 Degree to provide the user with more compositional control.
The tilt function enables you to highlight specific subjects in a photo, bringing objects in and out of focus as you like. Whats more, you are on longer limited to focusing on different planes. Instead, you can choose to focus on specific objects that are the same distance form the camera.the range of photography is greatly expanded. When located in its default resting position, the adapter can be used like any other standard non-tilt adapter.
Using the knobs on the sliver ring of the adapter, turn the component in a clockwise direction to loosen and allow adjustment of the angle. Once at the desired angle, turn in a counterclockwise direction to lock into place.
All KIPON adapters undergo the CNC turning center procedure during manufacturing to provide our customers with only the utmost precision and quality. We guarantee an ideal fitting between cameras and lenses to maintain the ease and accuracy of photography. All adapters are made of brass and/or aluminum alloy.
Please note that not all camera models and lenses are compatible with this adapter. Please take extra care when attempting to use any adapter with wide angle and fisheye lenses. Please contact our lens specialists if you have any questions regarding compatibility.
