Nikkor to EOS Adapter follow up

Tested the 50mm 1.4 Nikkor lens and the 75-250mm Vivitar lens, both outdoors on a cloudy day.  Both worked great.  Below is a photo from the 50mm lens, shot at f1.4 (unfortunately, because lens does not link up to camera's electrical system, the only info that is recorded is the shutter speed; f stop shows a reading of 00).  I never know if, when I reduce the original size and upload a photo if it will look as good as the original was so please keep that in mind.  If you click on the photo, you can at least see the uploaded size.  The original at full size was very sharp (on the "horse" plane) .


Because the 50mm f1.4 on a 10D to 60D and 7D Canon's becomes an 80mm with very shallow DOF at 1.4, great for portraits, and many other uses.

Plan on further testing of the lenses over the next several days.  Also ordered the very cheap version of the adapter ($14.75 at Amazon), and will see how that performs.  I read that these adapters will not work with lenses below 28mm.  May check that out to verify.

Have a great day.
