Has anyone got any experience of these?
I was looking at this one on fleabay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nikon-G-Lens-...daptors_ET&hash=item3cb61162c8#ht_2231wt_1032

Do these change the focal length, reduce the image quality or reduce the light at all? I am tempted to get one so that I can use my 50 and 85 1.4 on the GF1, but only if they actually work :)

I know you cant use autofocus with them, but that zoom AF assist on the GF1 is just great :D

Anyone?
 
Hi James

I've used a Canon one on the GF1 and they work ok.Your 50 and 85mm effectively double in focal length.
You need to use the zoom function on the liveview to allow for critical focus.Not sure if your Nikon lenses allow you to change the aperture on the lens or not but if they don't you can put the lens on your normal camera,set the aperture and press the dof preview button.While holding it remove the lens.You can then shoot at the chosen aperture on the GF1.Did this with my fisheye.I would set it to F8.0 on the Canon and then swap over to the GF1.That way I could just shoot and virtually everything would be in focus.

Cheers
Gary
