Bluetooth Adapter For Nikon D7000

Was looking for something to turn an older camera (Nikon D7000) into wifi or Bluetooth capable and got the added bonus of remote operation and live view. Easy to set up and simple app. B&H as usual was a pleasure to deal with.

First of all, here is the equipment I used to test it: Nikon D7000 (16MP), Nikon 18-200mm VR (not VRII), Konica 80-200mm f/4.0, tripod, and Vello wireless release. Summary: Definitely worth the money. Test Technique - I mounted the D7000 on a tripod and used a Vello wireless shutter release to reduce any shake. I focused the camera manually using a loupe on the display with the display zoomed to maximum. The subject was a tree about 100 yards away. I focused on the leaves. I set the Konica lense to 140mm to give an equivalent zoom length of 200mm (taking into account the adapter's lense) and compared this shot to the same shot using Nikon lense set to 200mm. I then opened the raw images in Photoshop and zoomed to 400% where I could see individual pixels. After careful examination, I could see no noticeable difference in the two shots. I looked at the sharpness of the leaf edges and chromatic aberrations about 1/3 out from the center of the images. I realize that chromatic aberrations and sharpness issues will be more obvious at the image edges, but the best spot to examine the leaves was not at an edge. Also, the D7000 is only 16 megapixels which limits how far you can take my test results, but in you have an AR lense you want to use, the cost of this adapter is a whole lot cheaper than buying a new lense. Two gripes I have are the adapter came with a front cap but camera body cap. That makes no sense since either side on the adapter lense can be damaged! Also the pouch could be made out of better feeling material, especially considering it ships with only one side capped. However, I have an extra body cap so I'm using it on the adapter. But I'm buying it for the adapter, not two caps and a bag so I'll keep it. It just gives a sense of cheapness that isn't really deserved.

I compared this slide copying adapter to a film scanner. At least for my setup scanning 35mm color slides, I am getting much better results with this adapter than the scanner. I'm using a Nikon D7000 and a Nikon Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 lens. The lens is mounted directly on the camera and then connected to a Nikon BR-5 mount adapter ring (62mm to 52mm adapter), two K series extension tubes (K5 and K4, 52mm diam.), and finally to the ES-1 (which has 52mm threads). The extension tubes are necessary due to the crop sensor of the D7000. I'm using live view focusing and shooting RAW, and I'm getting amazing results. I couldn't be happier. The images are better than with the film scanner, and the file size (even shooting RAW) is much smaller (about 20 MB vs. 50 MB for the scanned TIFFS). One big advantage of using this adapter with a DSLR is that you can control the exposure very easily, at least in comparison to the scanner that I used. Controlling exposure manually is important for copying underexposed slides. If you already have the right camera and lens, this adapter is a very good and economical way to copy old slides.

The cap fits perfect on my Nikon d7000...

I use it for my camcorder and camera Nikon D7000. It is very good thing.
