16:9, known for their tests and reviews of lenses by a variety of manufacturers, has introduced an adapter that allows Nikon G-type lenses to fit Canon EF-lens compatible cameras. 16:9 states the motivation was to enable the use of Nikon’s ”new 14-24mm f2.8, which provides the sweetest ultrawide solution for the 22MP 1Ds Mark III.

The adapter includes an AF-confirmation chip and maintains infinity focus, but disables VR, auto-focus, and auto-aperture functions. At £79, only the lever-free version (where the lens is stopped open or stopped down by rotating the lens in the mount) is currently available with a 35-day turnaround, but a lever-operated version is also planned.

  1. I wonder if it will be possible to make the setup work in a housing.
