If I want to put Nikon glass on my GH1, can I just buy a FD to Nikon adapter to use on top of my cieci7 Canon FD micro four thirds adapter? Will it focus to infinity.

Here (http://cgi.ebay.ca/macro-FD-to-Nikon-adapter-for-D90-D200-D300-D80-D70s-D3_W0QQitemZ110322875743QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLens_Ac cessories?hash=item19afc17d5f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A15%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7 C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50) it says that with the FD to Nikon adapter it is not possible to focus to infinity but I was wondering if in addition to the other adapter it would.

Ciecio7 micro four thirds Canon FD adapter: 90$

FD to Nikon adapter: 20$

Or
Micro four thirds Nikon adapter: probably around 90$


Since I already have the ciecio7 FD I'd rather just spend another 20$ to be able to use Nikon glass.


Maybe with 2 adapters it will be possible to focus to infinity for some reason because of the different distance between the lens and the sensor?

If you use a Micro 4/3rd adapter to FD, your mount will behalve like a FD mount. The distance to the film/sensor plane is the same. Thus all information you read about FD mount accessoires (Like: "This does not work on infinity") will be as true as they are for a regular FD mount.
The other obvious flaw is that that is a Nikon to FD adapter, not FD to Nikon.
The good news is, that FD to Nikon adapters exist equally as cheap, and focus to infinity. (http://shop.ebay.com/250446256068) This should work fine, as long as both adapters are well built without any wobble.
