Re: Novoflex Nikon "G" Lens for FS100

How do you guys find the Novoflex adapter for the FS100? This is the one with the aperture ring to control the Nikon "G" Lenses. Any vignetting or light leakage?
 
I got mine last week solid build quality. My new FS100 is due in Monday but the adapter it self is very well made. I wish the aperture throw was longer but it was smooth no clicks.
 
Though the Novoflex is highly recommended, I still say its not truly "G lens control", because you can adjust the aperture but you have no idea what your F stop is. Im still waiting for an adapter that carries over camera electrical aperture control. If your expecting to do dramatic work and switching lenses frequently - I'd wait for the one of the adapters that promises to do so.

what lens are you using thats a G lens that you need to know the exact aperture? Most of nikons best lenses have aperture rings, id say that the tokina 11-16 and nikon 17-35 are the 'best' G lenses and theyre both pretty wide...

The Nikon 17-35 f/2.8 isn't a "G" lens. It's a D lens, and it has manual iris control.

I couldn't live without knowing some ballpark of my iris setting. Knowing where you are means you can stop down to where you want to go relative to sharpness, and the limits of how far you want to go relative to diffraction. Precise numbers also help if you're trying to match anything with something else.

there is some nikon lens im thinking of, i cant remember right now...

and i mean, with a wide lens like the tokina 11-16 its pretty easy to tell when you're in the middle of the range, around f8 which is where you want to be...
