can you get an adapter to mount nikon lenses to EX3?

To get the image of the lens the right size you will need a relay lens between you nikon and the sensor behind the B4 mount. Even then, you are not going to get any DOF if that's your desire. Someone will make that relay lens ... I hope!
 
The DOF of any lens stays the same no matter which camera you mount it on, relay, 35 mm adapter, or just holding it on with gaffa tape. The problem is the size of the sensor, the smaller it is, the smaller the area of the image provided by the lens it samples. DOF is the same, but your field of view is reduced.
Imagine you have a 5x4 photo print from a 35mm SLR. If you put that same lens on a 1/2" Video camera, the image, DOF, would be identical, but you crop away approximately 70% of the 5x4 print. So to get the same field of view you have to zoom out (but you can't of course with that lens, it's wide already), and so your DOF becomes deeper.
 
if your rich, you would still need to wait untill the perfect relay for your choice of lens and each one in between. The ultimate would be the best option for your nikon lenses.
 
link is broken =/

EDIT: nevermind, started working again, is there a way to emulate JVC's 35mm adapter? they fix the FOV to no magnification, no moving parts, but it is upside down.
