HI!
Is it possible to mount a 1.5x Iscorama with a Nikon 50mm 2.8 F mount lens on a Canon EOS system?
Can I get an adapter for this and focus to infinity. Any drawbacks?
Thanks!
 
Any good F mouth to eos should give infinity focus.
I recommend Novoflex EOS/NIK
Price: € 149,00,

This has the most tight fit of the adapters that I have used.
 
I like these at less than half of the price. I have never compared the Novoflex and the Fotodiox Pro but I mainly use Nikon primes on my C100 using the Fotodiox and no complaints about sharpness, looseness in the mount or infinity focus. The cheap adapters suck, they are sloppy and many do not allow infinity focus so I upgraded to these a few years ago, they work great.

Be careful, I'm clearly in the minority in my experience, but since the Iscorama taking lens doesn't focus, I have found it useless with adapters. Many adapters with "guaranteed" infinity focus still focus past infinity; none are precisely enough machined to hit infinity PERFECTLY on a lens that is set to ONLY focus at infinity, as the Iscorama's taking lens is. It might be adjustable, but I don't know.

On an F mount 50mm f1.4 or 50mm f2 the Iscorama can work great, but I would rather have a focusable taking lens.
