@kurth Actually, according to Metabones you can use 'APS-C' lenses (page 3 of the whitepaper) (exception are some Nikon DX lenses with fixed lens hoods). But instead of talking about APS-C lenses they talk about DX. After all, there is the Canon route and the ..erm routes of the others.

Regarding the calculations, I'm not sure what the DX lenses by Nikon actually cover. I can imagine those do actually cover slightly more than the entire DX sensor to not get all sorts of issues with hoods, corner sharpness and all. I trust Metabones on their claim of being able to use Nikon DX lenses without (too much) vignetting.

The very fact they constantly talk about DX contributes makes me wonder though. A Canon APS-C sensor is slightly smaller, so possibly a Canon 'DX' would not suffice (regardless of whether you'd want to use one of those in the first place). But it could also be simply the result of the lack of testing (at least at that time).

Found this to use for calculations:

Most MFT sensors with Light Cannon = 24.72mm x 13.89mm

I will also add a few more odd sized MFT mount camera dimensions:

BMCC = 15.81mm x 8.88mm

BMCC with Light Cannon = 21.96mm x 12.33mm

BMPCC = 12.48mm x 7.02mm

BMPCC with Light Cannon = 17.33mm x 9.75mm

GH2 = 18.89mm x 10.7mm

GH2 with Light Cannon = 26.24mm x 14.86

I have the BMCC and have the BMPCC on order, so I'm good, but it looks like some lenses could vignette on most MFT cameras.

@apix from the fotodiox site: "on older Nikon lenses with a aperture dial on the lens, the blue dial on the adapter can act as a depth of field preview lever allowing you to switch back and forth between wide open and stopped down to a certain f-stop."

I think that means you can set the stop on your iris and then use the blue ring to engage or dis engage the stop you set on the lens. Nikkors use a small mechanical lever to set the internal stop and I think the blue ring engages the lever, whether it's an older F lens (Ai, AiS) or newer G lens. I think D lenses were their early autofocus lenses before the G lenses.

@Brandt thanks for the heads up on the FB coupon code (googled it). FYI, it ends 6/30. Saving $24 off the $159.99 price and combined shipping of 4.95 to Philadelphia, despite my finances I decided to order 2. Net price: $138 each shipped! Cheaper than the Turbo, tired of waiting for Metabones (can't afford it anyway), and I have a collection of Nikkor AiS glass from the days we used to put them on film cameras (Bolex and Eclair CM3). I use them for low light & shallow DoF on the GH2 (and hate the crop factor). I recently could have really used this for a shoot.

As a side note, it does look a little wider than most adapters. I am anticipating it might interfear with my Manfrotto 394 QR plates.

Also there is no mention of setting the infinity focus, as I understand is necessary on the MB.

If the IQ is crap I can send it back...
Thanks everyone, this made my day. I am soooo glad I sold my 7D for the GH1 years ago.

@niGGo I live in Europe too, but I fell under the influence of a hypnotic spell and did it. Let's hope for the best

Mine shipped out of WAUKEGAN, IL yesterday, so I figure it'll be here Saturday. Maybe in time for a wedding shoot I'm helping out with on Saturday Evening. Not the best time to be testing new equipment, but what the hell right?

Fotodiox returned my email ...but w/o much info. Basically he said for now the nikon g to m43 and nex are all they have planned but "perhaps" in the future. I'd recommend a writing campaign requesting other mounts .

Mmm, got feedback from Fotodiox about shipping "UPS shipping is not available in your area. We used USPS Express Mail instead." From what I found that is worse but also less expensive. Shouldn't they give some money back if they use a different shipping method than the one I payed for? EDIT: maybe USPS is not that bad, I mean looks like it's comparable to UPS or FedEx. We'll see

@flabo Depends how efficient your local USPS is. In my area the postal service rivals UPS as far as delivery promptness is concerned, as well as price and condition of parcel typically (the last comparison is hit-or-miss). As for price the difference on such a delivery is most likely negligible.

Thanks to @Feha for his video here: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/7350/for-sale-kipon-lens-adapters-nikon-g-ais-to-m43-mft

He shows @ 4:16 how on a similar Nikkor G to MFT adapter you can stop down the Nikkor AiS lens and then use the adapter's ring for G lenses to set the iris, the bonus is that it becomes click less! Great if you need to do an iris pull or an "in-between" f stop". (I assume all the Nikkor G to MFT lens adapters work the same way).

BTW he is selling his adapters for a good price too.

Just found out they shipped mine too but I wouldn't worry about not being able to find tracking info. I've shipped many things and bought many things using USPS and automatic labels. It seems maybe over 50% of the time, they are never in the damn USPS system. This includes items bought and sold over ebay when everything is automatic. BTW, it says mine was shipped priority instead of flat or express. I didn't pay extra so I'm sure it's a crap shoot as to when they'll come in.
