    Hello,

    I was wondering if somehow I could use this lens on my Canon T2i or Canon 7d? It is the older version of this lens, I believe from 1988 i I researched correctly. Any recommended adapters? Thanks in advanced!

    I imagine you won’t get any autofocus control but that’s no biggie- search a bit. I imagine Novoflex or Voigtlander make something you could use.

    I’m using Fotodiox very successfully for Mamiya 645 and Pentax K on my Canon 7D.

    They become fully manual lenses but having an iris ring on the lens is very useful. I beleive Nikon focus rotation is opposite to Canon, this could require a little concentration.

    Thanks for the site Phil. I am still new to using an adapter. This Nikon lens has a D, so I am not sure if that mens Nikon D to Canon EOS? I have no idea which adapter to get. Thanks again.
