I have a perfectly serviceable Canon FD f1.8 50mm lens and a Nikon D600.
Urth manufacture an adaptor - obviously I'd have to use manual settings on the camera.
Has anyone tried this before?
Havent tried it.
When I changed from Canon to Nikon (1998) it was my understanding that apart from their different thread sizes, they have different distances between the sensor position and the lens rear element. Adding an adaptor exacerbates this distance difference…causing focus limitations. How old is the Canon lens?
This may be a bit contentious (possibly influenced by my business historically buying my equipment) but I’ve always opted for new lenses over reusing old lenses. Though predigital lenses are still sharp they are more prone to chromatic aberrations when coupled with a digital sensor, even if they are the same brand.
