Novoflex Adapter Enables Use of Nikon Lenses on Canon Bodies

Zoltan Arva-Toth | Accessories | July 26, 2010 | 3 Comments |

A new adapter from German accessories manufacturer Novoflex enables aperture control, stop-down metering and aperture-priority shooting with G series Nikon lenses on Canon EOS SLR bodies. According to Cameratown, the secret to this is a lever on the side of the adapter, which allows the user to control the aperture on G series lenses that lack an aperture ring. This is not the first Canon-to-Nikon mount adapter out there, but the majority of older models would only allow shooting with older Nikkors that do not carry the G designation. The new Novoflex adapter lets Nikon fans who have been waiting in vain for Nikon to release an affordable 20+ megapixel DSLR to buy a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and use their existing F mount lenses on it, and also allows current Canon users to purchase Nikon lenses that have no Canon equivalent - such as the 14-24mm f/2.8 ultra wide zoom pictured above - for their Canon SLR cameras. In the EU, you can order the Novoflex EOS/NIK NT adapter directly from the manufacturer for €169. In the US, Novoflex adapters are marketed by HP Marketing Corp.

That's one of the most ridiculous accessories and one of the most ridiculous thoughts behind the idea I have heard about in some time. Why (REALLY, why) would anybody want to mix these two systems together? Neither Nikon nor Canon has superior optics over the other one.

I would understand the need for an accessory for using Zeiss and/or Leica optics on a Nikon or on a Canon, though (even for non AF-lenses from those two manufacturers).

It's a great idea! Let me tell you why: I used to be a Nikon user and have more than 10 Nikon lenses. Now I want to use those lenses on my new Canon 5dmk2 body.
