Full Version: Canon EOS (body) to Nikon (lens) adapter
A bit confused here - where once there were only a couple, there now seem to be a great number of EOS -> Nikon adapters out there, from the very cheap to the fairly expensive. Could anyone recommend one in particular? I'm hoping to mount Nikon's 14-24mm f2.8 G full frame lens on my EOS 5D II. Thanks in advance.

I have tried a lot of these adapters for my Zeiss wide angle lenses with Nikon mount on my 5D2. The cheap Chinese ones have a sloppy fit. The lens easily moves sideways.
Like everything else in life, you get what you pay for. I finally settled on Cameraquest adapters for all my Zeiss lenses.
If you are going to mount a good lens, don't buy a cheap adapter. Especially for wide angle, you want an adapter that has a reliable, accurate thickness. Cheap adapters are cheap because they are poorly machined and there is poor or non-existent quality control after that.

Thanks for the info. I've had Cameraquest recommended a couple of times - I'll definitely take a look at them.
