Sorry to post another question (it's just I get great answers here!), I know I've been quite busy here recently, but I was wondering if would I be able to use the Nikon DX 18-200 lens on my F5 with the MFT nikon adaptor? I am not sure if I can control the aperture with it - I have only ever used it with my manual Nikon ais lenses which have manual aperture rings?
The lens is here: http://www.digitalrev.com/product/n...1&country=GB&gclid=COC4mMTWx7wCFbPItAodlQYAFQ

I saw a great film shot with the F5 and this lens today with footage being taken at the Australian Tennis Open - if you haven't seen it it is well worth watching, some great shots here:

Many thanks in advance!

It will work - aperture is hugely sensitive but it will work.

i just scored a nikkor 50-300 mf ed - over time you will probably want to delve into the manual glass which is in a different class IMO
 
Thanks Sam. The Nikkor 50-300mm is a beast eh? Are you using it with your F55? I would dearly love to see some footage from it if that was ever possible!
 
if you can get your hands on optitek nikon adapter instead I highly recommend it for using with Nikon DX lenses. The MTF works and will control aperture but can so easily change setting with a slight graze of your pinky. Most people don't like lenses that click but I'd rather know my aperture is locked from shot to shot... hence the Optitek is a bit better because the iris adjustment is much stiffer and less prone to change on you. Also, I noticed while Nikon AI-s lenses sit in the MTF mount nice and firm, many of my DX lenses wobble slightly in them.
 
Top Teks and CVP only seem to have the Optitek Canon mount, I need the Nikon one, and would love it asap so I can use it in Singapore on my next job. Would you know if anyone has the Nikon one in stock in the UK? Thanks!
