Nikon F lens to PL mount ?

[jpham]

Is there such a beast? I like to use some of my Nikon F mount lens on PL

The Nikon needs to be 5mm or so closer to the sensor so it appears it would sit inside the PL mount somehow… don't think this can work.

Century used to make one. Here's one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Century-Pre...001089?hash=item3aaab39d41:g:hEYAAOSw~OdVYqRe

Someone has made one, but that doesn't mean it works fully or properly.

From what I recall, and I might be wrong, but because if flange spacing you'll end up losing the ability to focus to infinity... again just going off memory. One would have to really look into it more or test for themselves.

This is an extender so you get the infinity but lose a stop of light and 40% angle of view- no free lunch....
