nikon to EOS adaptor

[Daniel Carruthers]

Hey I just got a nikon to EOS adaptor so I can use my nikon primes with my T2i
I cant seem to focus to infinity?
When I do every thing seems to go out of focus?
I heard of problems like this happening to canon FD to EOS adapters, but I didnt think it was a problem with nikon adaptors?
Has anyone had the problem before using nikon to EOS adapters?

Unless you spend a few hundred the adapter will allow you to focus past infinity. Just dial back a touch on your focus and you will be there.

Not so simple . This probably indicates that the thickness of the adapter is off and your backfocus is incorrect.
For long lenses this just means your focus marks will be wrong and in your case it will go past infinity ( better than not reaching it.) It also may mean that zoom lenses won't track focus correctly and wide lenses may be soft no matter what.

Does anyone know how to pick an adapter that is accurate?

I have had very good luck with my Cameraquest adapters. I use them for my Nikon 80-200 zoom and my Zeiss ZF primes. However, they are not inexpensive.
