Nex adapters So I finally gave in and got myself a Nex 5, I'm a big Nikon fan so I got a few lenses that I want to use. Did some google search and looked on bh and can't find any good answers. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search...tialSearch=yes http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...ikon_Lens.html thats what I was looking at. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...for_Nikon.html and this but why is one 3 times the price of the other? and for the lenses that doesn't have an aperture control how would that work? TIA |
looks like the Bower has no ability to transfer functions from the lens to camera and vice versa, so it's just a tube. the Novoflex looks like it has the abilty to do that though, so there's electronics involved. just a guess from what see from what they can and can't do. |

Unless the distance scale is crucial to you, just buy the eBay ones. I have MD, EOS, FD, M42, OM, and Hexanon converters and they all work fine. If you need one that allows "aperture control", theres an adapter offered by Kipon that has built in blades. http://sonyalpharumors.com/wp-conten..._nex_kipon.png Info and test here: http://translate.google.com/translat...03_424426.html Im not sure of the built in blade ones support Nikon yet, but they have it for Canon EOS. |
yah ebay is the way to go, I have myself a Leica M-Mount, and Cine C-Mount, M39 adaptors. -ed |

now there's a good price! |
Lol just end the thread and PM RCubed. You'll get answers 10x faster. Baha |
The aperture blade one is only made for the canon eos to whatever adapters. It has a built in aperture blade because there's no manual aperture adjustments on Canon EF/EF-S lenses. Nikon F/G to nex adapters will not have them. The reason why the Novoflex are more expensive is that they're made with more precision so there's less play when you're using the manual focus ring. It's also made in germany so that's really the only reason why you're paying more. If you're planning to use lenses that doesn't have an aperture control (they're called G lenses btw) then you'll have to buy the Nikon G adapter. Hope that clears things up for you! |
Bump! New breakthrough by Conurus! Controlling EF Aperture electronically through NEX controls. |

You need to mount the NEX on the Sony 70-400mm G Lens. That thing is a beast. |

^ Unreal. |
That's crazy. The camera is practically non existent on there |
Bumping old thread up again lol still in the middle of debating either these two adaptors. any recommandations please? thanks in advance. Canon EOS lens to Sony E NEX Adapter Build-in Aperture | eBay Canon EOS lens to Sony E NEX-3 NEX5 Adapter w/ Aperture | eBay |
I hear the ones with the aperture don't work well at all. I wish conorus would release there Canon adapter already lol. |
