GH2 AI adaptor fine for AI-S lenses?

[Mj882]

I'm about to purchase a Nikon adaptor for my imminent GH2 body. I'm just wondering whether an AI adaptor will be fine for my AI-S lenses. Here is the item: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nikon-AI-...Photography_Adapter_Rings&hash=item231194f52d

Cheers

I would recommend spending a little more for the Metabones Nikon F mount adapter, which is better made than the cheaper ones. All of these adapters will work with both Nikon AI and AI-S lenses.

I hear some of these adapters get stuck quite firmly on the lenses and are really hard to take off - is that the same with the Metabones adapter?

 

[TheDingo]

No., the only problems I have ever heard of are from the cheap adapters that are not mechanically well made.

The Metabones adapter is a clone of the much more expensive Voightlander adapter and it works quite well.

Cheers TheDingo! It does cost quite a bit more, but it could save me money in the long run.

Also it will definitely work with the GH2 right? As it only states GH1 there.

 

[TheDingo]

Yes, it works with the GH-2. All of these adapters are not electronic, so they are using the same M4/3 mechanical mount.

I have eBay adapters and they work fine. $16.
