Canon Lens - Compatable with Nikon?

[deckcadet]

Paul, there are plenty of old MF nikon long primes to be had for great prices. Most people simply prefer to AF with their long lenses. I've seen everything from the AI-S 200mm f/2.0 to the 400mm f/2.8 to the 800mm and even 1200mm lenses go for reasonable prices.
If you have very deep pockets I saw a 1200-1700mm f/5.6-8.0 AI-S P Nikon zoom for sale a sort while back.

Of course the one that didn't go for a reasonable price (other than the 1200-1700 which has a 5 figure asking price) was the 300mm f/2.0 AIS. I'd kill for that lens.

You also might want one of the more expensive adapters that has the chips so the camera recognizes its there. I have an el cheapo and it works pretty well with my Mk3 and 1V HS along with some manual nikkors. I even used it with my AFS 400mm f/2.8D on the 1V a few times. Sometimes it can be more trouble than its worth

Thank you all for your replies. I've been using the 18-55 lens that came with the camera, but wanted something with more zoom power. Ended up getting the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras. GREAT lens!
