Nikon F to Fuji X mount adapter?

Scam · 20 Sep 2017 at 20:20

Anyone bought one of the cheapo one from Amazon? I was aiming to sell my old D50 gear but for £15 or so it might be worth a punt to try out my Sigma 70-300 and 50mm/f1.8.

I know AF won't work but what about manual focus assists on my XT10? Peaking etc?

Thanks. Any brands you recommend?

Bump. The guys at TP forums seem to like to K&F mount adapters so I'm about to hit buy on the F mount to Fuji X version -- but I just wanted to double check regarding aperture control before I do.

I'm now home and checked both my 50mm and the Sigma 70-300 absolutely do have aperture wheels on them, therefore I don't need the adapter with the aperture wheel, correct? I will be able to control aperture on the lenses themselves, when mounted with the adapter? Is that right? Thanks

I'm not sure I really understand that? My adapter arrived today and I had a quick play with my 50mm and Sigma 70-300. Pretty fun. Focus seems fine, even when using the Sigma in macro mode at f4

What do you mean about infinity focus?

The K&F adapter was definitely a good choice. It feels very solid. Nice metal build too. Would definitely recommend.

Ah ok got it. Thanks.

Really enjoying having a macro lens again. Just in time for the autumn leaves etc.

And the nifty fifty looks great on the Fuji!

The K&F adapter is really very good actually. Haven't done any particularly "in depth / technical" testing but it's all metal and feels very premium. They were recommended multiple times on TP too so I'd go for that.
