Review on πŸ“· Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter: Nikon Nikkor F Mount D/SLR Lens to Micro Four Thirds (MFT, M4/3) Mount Mirrorless Camera Body - Enhance Compatibility and Expand Your Photography Possibilities by Robert Capers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent investment.

Just received the adapter this afternoon. No time was wasted installing it on an Oly OMD5II with a Nikkor 135mm 2.8 attached, effectively turning it into a 270mm. The focus ring on this lens is a little tight and can be tiring. The manual focus assist on the OMD (mapped to a function key) works reasonably well, but when viewed 1:1, around 30% of the images aren't perfectly sharp. The adapter is not to blame. The ones in focus are excellent. The feel of these old Nikkors - I also have a 200mm f4 - on a 4:3 body is fantastic, like they were made for each other. Definitely a better shooting experience than with the same lens on my D750. I personally see no need to buy more expensive adapters. At this price I get one for each fixed lens, just need an Oly lens back cap.
