Some years ago I was using Nikon lenses adapted to a NEX-5N. Nikon will be fine, although you will have to put up with a long adaptor so the lenses are going to look ridiculous and be unbalanced. Also, Fuji's own lenses have electronic manual focus - I don't think they will work as adapted lenses. It would need to be the other way around to provide room for an adaptor. L mount has a 20mm flange distance, Fuji x has 17.70mm. i also tried two more expensive ones made by fotasy and fotodiox and returned both of them. Here's the adapter i use, but it doesn't have an aperture ring so it's only for older nikon lenses (f? ai?). i've taken a couple of test shots, but i can't find them now. but i'll try to get a couple of shots with the old nikkor on the fp. I suffer from the cold, so i don't get out much in winter. If you have any examples of shots with the 105mm Nikkor on the fp, it would be nice to see one or two, full size. i don't know about autofocus and if you need the adapter to have an aperture ring (nikon 'g' lenses i believe) it might cost a little more. i use a 1950s 105/2.5 nikkor on the gh5, the s1, and the fp with only a $30-35 adapter. Nikon lenses, even from back in the 50s, can be adapted to work on m43, the fp, and all other l-mount bodies. that fuji has refused to open up their lens specs so that 3rd parties can make adapters. I don't know this for sure, just something i read the other day. The Sigma will be heavier than the NEX, and it may not have a tilting LCD (which would be a pity), but the NEX has no EVF. With the 50, 105 and 200 mm, the natural thing is to hold the lens in the left hand, which is also used for focussing and setting the aperture, and the camera grip in the right. I have just dug out my NEX and checked how I hold it. Personally, I prefer to keep the total weight down. If you want your mirrorless camera to be as heavy as a DSLR, to give "balance", you can attach a weight to the tripod socket. I learned that from the 400mm Tele-Megor on my Exakta, way back. If the lens is bigger than the camera, you hold the lens. Rangefinder style lenses are a better match, closer to the body. I don't like massive lenses on tiny cameras.Įven a relatively small lens like my Miranda 24mm f/2.8 prime ends up with the dimensions of a telephoto once mounted on an adaptor and too front heavy. I find that I prefer the body to be large relative to the lens. You may be able to find more information about adapting lenses in the Adapted Lens Talk forum here: There are cheaper options on eBay of course. This Kipon adapter will let you mount your Nikon lenses on the L mount cameras, such as the fp: Here's a Leica lens adapter that comes in a variety of mounts to adapt to L mount: There are lots of adapters to mount lenses on the L mount. I could swear I saw there was an adapter to mount Nikon mount Sigma lenses on Sony cameras with the E mount, so maybe at some point Sigma will make an MC21 that will allow direct mounting of their Nikon mount lenses to the L mount. Auto-focus of the Nikon lenses just won't work, as far as I am aware. I don't think the electronic aperture is controlable by the camera, but the lens can be rotated on the adapter or there is some sort of control on some of the adapters to adjust the aperture. Nikon's lenses will work on a Canon with an adater, so that means they'll work just as well on the fp with that same adapter mounted to the MC21 adapter, which makes the fp like a Canon (as far as the mount is concerned). Leica's L mount lenses will work on the fp. Panasonic's L mount lenses will work on the fp. It seems you even get auto-focus with most of the Canon lenses that have been made over the past 20 years when you mount them on L mount cameras using the MC21 adapter (at least on the Panasonic S1), though different Canon lenses focus better than others.Īll the Canon mount Sigma lenses made over the past few years (Global Vision lenses, such as the Art lenses, Sport lenses, and Contemporary lenses) are supposed to work properly on the fp, using the MC21 mount adapter. Whether they auto-focus or not is another question. Those will mount on the MC21 adapter too, no doubt. I don't know about Fuji lenses, but the MC21 mount allows Canon's lenses to mount on the fp, and of course there is a whole range of different companies that make their lenses in Canon mount, such as Tamron, Tokina, Samyang, etc. I'm tempted to trigger a buy for the sigma fp.īut given the number of lenses I own from Nikon and Fuji - are any adaptable to the sigma fp or will I need to start all over again? What I'm seeing in video footage and stills is incredible.
