Hey people!

I'm in the process of selecting accesorires for a future rig that will contain an EX1 + adapter + all the other things needed to make it look good :Drogar-Happy(DBG): .

I have the EX1 (it just came in today...after i've read about the new EX3 :violin: )

and i've also bought a Zeiss 50mm 1.4 Nikon mount.

I wanted to ask what is the best choice for adaptor lenses out there. I was thinking about the Zeiss and the manual Nikkors listed here http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Camera-Lenses/Manual/Non-AF-NIKKOR-Lenses.page?

Can i find photo lenses that do the focusing and zooming internally? If they don'y focus internally will i have problems with some types of matteboxes ?
Do the newer Nikkors have the ability to manually close the aperture ? How are they optically compared to the manual and Zeiss lenses ?
And do they make lenses with more F-stop markings on them and not just the basic ones ?

Thanks!

Nikon 80-200 2.8; Nikon 17-35 2.8; along with your prime 50mm. Note these zooms have a short focus throw as they're AF lenses. The copies I have are both IF I guess as they don't change size when zooming through the range - perfect for coupling with a matte box.

See this thread for a bit of info http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=129958

Do not get 'G' series lenses, they don't have an apeture ring.
