AF101 with Nikon lenses

[Gary Askham]

I currently have a HVX200 with a Letus Extreme set up for Nikon lenses. I have a bunch of old Nikon/Nikkor photography lenses which I used with the Letus...

Nikon 28mm E Series 1:2.8
Nikkor 35mm 1:2
Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8D
Nikkor 85mm 1:2

I also have a stock Nikon DX zoom lens (which came with my Nikon D90) and a Tamron zoom (also for the D90).


I am wanting to upgrade to the AF101 (I'm in the UK) and am wondering if these lenses will be any good to get me up and running and what kind of adaptor I will need to use them. I understand the zooms are probably a bit too slow for the AF101 but I thought I'd note them down in case they might be useful.

So, am I going to have to buy new lenses?

As the AF101 doesn't have a 35mm sensor does it mean that all the focus lengths are all going to be different to their stated lengths? By how much?

Cheers.

the m4/3 sensor is a 2x crop. there are numerous nikon to m4/3 adapters available. i bought the $28 off ebay, it works great.

If you want wide you will probably need to pick up a wide m4/3 lens because that 28mm is going to be a 56mm. Just double it and that is what you get. But an adapter will make all those lenses work. Not sure what you mean by the zooms being too slow. Indoors in a low lit room probably but zooms are great in a lot of situations when you want to just go on a simplistic run.
