Lens mount question

I'm very keen to purchase an AF102, but have a question about the mount system... I have a set of Zeiss lenses with Nikon ZF mount.. what mount would I need to buy to use them with the AF102? And where would be a good place to purchase them (online I'm guessing)?

I tried to have a look through the forum for info, but figured it would be a lot clearer for myself if I just made a new thread and asked!

Hope someone can help.
 
I have been hearing the Novaflex one kicks ass, especially as it controls iris on G lenses and is manufactured to really strict tolerances. BEWARE OF CHEAP ADAPTORS, as they are often not accurate in size, and you will lose infinity.
 
Is there a reason they are so expensive? I bought an EOS to Nikon mount for my DSLR off ebay and it was around 13 dollars...

Mostly because of the tolerances required in machining. I have a friend with a cheap nikon mount on his GH1, and lens marking are all off due to diffrences in flange distance due to sloppy tolerances. And EVEN WORSE, their is often play in the cheap mount, causing image shift. Really, the headaches are not worth the money saved, especially if you are a working professional.
