    nikon to canon lens adapter ring

    So, I have started researching this subject. I didn't realize that you could purchase such a product that would allow you to use nikon lenses on a canon eos camera. Is this a positive thing? I am curious as to your thoughts on this......

    Thanks,
    Mel

    I bought one on Ebay. It's a great way to get a high quality large aperture lens for a low price. You just lose automatic controls obviously but it's worth it.

    Note it depends on the lens and camera. In all cases it becomes a fully manual lens. Now if you install some of the newer lenses from Nikon you do not have any aperture control.

    I don't have a Canon or Nikon, but can't imagine why you would want to do this. - TF
