Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter, Nikon Nikkor Lens to Pentax Q-Series Camera
Category: pentax q
If you have a SLR or DSLR camera and other maker/mount lenses, the Fotodiox Mount Adapters allow you to use your lenses on the film/digital camera body. Certain prime lenses simply cannot be replaced, and you can save the cost of purchasing new lenses by sharing them. Fotodiox offers a range of adapters from large format to smaller format digital adapters, allowing you to adapt larger format lenses to smaller format sensors (i.e: large format to medium format, medium format to 35mm, 35mm to micro 4/3). This provides excellent edge-to-edge sharpness, as the smaller image field helps minimize the effects of lens distortion and aberration by using the 'sweet spot' or center of the larger lens image circle.
The Fotodiox lens mount adapter is made with high standard precision. The leaf spring design in the adaptor holds the lens tight to the camera body, ensuring there is no play between the camera and the lens. This adapter allows all Nikon F lenses to fit on a Pentax Q DSLR camera body. Although the lens will fit physically, automatic diaphragm, auto-focusing, or any other functions will not operate correctly while using this adapter. In this case, "stop-down mode" will need to be used when metering, as the lens does not have the ability to have its aperture controlled by the camera body. You can shoot with manual mode or aperture priority mode.
The Fotodiox Mount Adapters offer several distinct advantages. Sharing lenses can save you the cost of purchasing new lenses, and certain prime lenses are simply irreplaceable. The adapters allow you to use your existing lenses on a variety of camera bodies, expanding the versatility of your equipment. By adapting larger format lenses to smaller format sensors, you can take advantage of the excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and minimize the effects of lens distortion and aberration.
The Fotodiox lens mount adapter is constructed with high-quality anodized aluminum, ensuring a smooth and effortless mounting process. It is designed with a leaf spring mechanism that holds the lens tightly to the camera body, eliminating any play between the two components. This adapter is compatible with a range of cameras, including the Pentax Q, Q10, Q7, and Q-S1.
It's important to note that while the lens will physically fit on the camera body, certain functionalities may not operate correctly. In such cases, you will need to use the "stop-down mode" when metering, as the lens cannot have its aperture controlled by the camera body. However, you can still capture stunning images by shooting in manual mode or aperture priority mode.
Fotodiox stands behind their product with a 24-month manufacturer's warranty, ensuring your investment is protected. The product may have slight differences in appearance from the actual product, such as color, font style, and other cosmetic changes, due to improvements in design.
In conclusion, the Fotodiox Mount Adapters offer a versatile and cost-effective solution for photographers who want to use their existing lenses on a variety of camera bodies. The high-quality construction, precise fit, and compatibility with a wide range of cameras make this adapter a valuable addition to any photographer's toolkit.
