nikkor f-mount lenses


Iko

Recommended Posts

I come across a good offer for a Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 micro and a Vivitar auto macro 55mm f/2.8 both

Making some research for an adapter I see that there are many different acronym (nik, nik(G), nf) I am a bit confused.

 

Can you recommend some adapter for this two lenses? Maybe something cheaper than the 99 € metabones one.

I have a cheap (~50€) adapter with aperture ring, but of course you can also use lenses with their own aperture rings. But if you don't have any G-lenses just go for a regular adapter. Mine works totally fine.

I have no-name nik adapter. Fuji mount is plastic, Nikon mount is metal. It is little longer than needed so my Ai-s lenses set to infinity are over-infinity. No a big deal. I just loose several close focus cm. Nevertheless I don't adapt G lenses to Fuji. If you do, I'd recommend to get a high quality converter from Metabones. Bad converter can damage the aperture pin. Don't forget to consider speedboosters. It's a cool but quite expensive thing.

Thanks! Do you know wy there are so many acronyms then?

 

The only thing I understood so far is that the (G) version is for the lenses that haven't an aperture ring.

Nik stands for "Nikon"

Nik (G) is for G lenses

NF = "Nikon to Fuji".

You just need to decide weather you need aperture control (going to use G lenses) or not.

Thanks for the explanation, starting from scratch can be disorienting.

 

I have a cheap mondpalast adapter from m42 to fuji and didn't have any issue before with that.

 

Probably is a bit of a lottery game when comes to these kind of adapters, but I don't see the point in using an

adapter that costs 2 or 3 times the lens with which I will use it.

I bought a Kiwi adaptor for mine, since I have a huge collection of old Nikor, Kiron, and other random F-Mount lenses and it's fantastic really. I've even been playing with macro recently and using Ex Tubes and 2x teleconverters with it has worked out really well.

Just a note of warning with inexpensive adapters:  I just bought a Fotasy brand adapter for Nikon G/AI/F to Fuji-X and mounted my favorite Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 on it, and now the adapter is stuck on the lens.

I'm afraid to mount it on the camera, lest it get stuck there as well.

 

Based on this one experience, which has left me quite frustrated, I'd say it's worth considering the higher quality adapters.

    • Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!
    • Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.
    • Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
    • What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
