tokina 11-16mm lens

I'd assume using a C-mount to Nikon adapter will give some serious vignetting? You're forcing the projected image to a 25mm hole, that's not very friendly for the final image.

Just a gentle prod as to find out how forth coming that adapter might be??? At the moment I'm waiting for the Novoflex people to get back to me!
BTW Illya, you're making some killer gear by the looks!

The fact that you mentioned it means your investigating – awesome news!
Are you looking at electronic or mechanical like Underdahl's mount? Is there a way to have aperture markings if it is mechanical? or would that be lens specific?
Look forward to any info.
 
Ooooh lala I'll take one of those adapters! :D

If it's under $200.

Ok maybe if it's over.

What we really want is an electronic system that works with AF ;) Get on that. Get on that next to impossible task.

The cheap Chinese m43 adapters with "Lock" rings are unreliable crap. I'd test it on an inexpensive lens first, rather than using the Tokina as a guinea pig.

For the OP, if you want exposure control then you could look at the ZD 11-22 2.8-3.5. You'd need a 4/3 to micro 4/3 adapter for lens control, similar range but no AF with this lens. It's on my list, but if you want a lens that's compatible with Nikon/Canon then the Tokina might be a better bet.

The Olympus 11-22 f/2.8-3.5 is HARD to beat, stunning sharpness and very low distortion, and you have electronic control of the aperture.

Here is an adapter for $30 that claims to be able to open aperture for Nikon G mount lenses that don't have an aperture ring:

There is a photo showing lens with aperture wide open. I can't confirm yet whether it really works, but I just ordered one and will try on GH1 with Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 as soon as it arrives.

I have this adapter and the Tokina 11-16. They work flawlessly together. Here is a link to a thread where I used the combination on a short.

Is there any adapter (electronic?) available that offers aperture control on the canon version. I personally would prefer the canon version over the nikon version because they focus "cine styel" (Nikons are reversed).
