The matte black Nikon G Lens to Sony NEX Camera Lens Mount Adapter from Metabones allows you to attach a Nikon F-mount G lens to a Sony NEX camera, including an NEX full frame camera. Metabones' adapters are precision-machined with brass and plated with chromium on both sides of the adapter. It is also designed to allow lenses to reach infinity focus while maintaining the correct registration distance required to support CRC lenses or lenses with floating elements.

This adapter features a clickless 7-stop aperture ring with half-stop markings and a detachable tripod foot compatible with Arca Swiss, Markins, and Photo cam ball head tripods. Additionally, its matte black finish minimizes internal reflections so as to maintain image quality.

To note, automatic lens functions, like autofocus, will not be retained when using this adapter.

Q: 1. I recently purchased a Sony a6000 and would like an e-mount adapter for my Nikon lenses. I have a Nikkor 18-200 1:3.5-5.6 G ED DX lens (no aperture ring) and a Nikkor 70-200 1:28 G ED lens (no aperture ring) as well as a Micro Nikkor 200 m 1:4 D lens (with aperture ring) and a Nikkor 1:2.8 D 20mm (with aperture ring).Is there an adapter that will accommodate both types of lenses? Which adapters would you recommend for these lenses?

A: Since not all of your lenses are G lenses, I would not advise you to use this particular Nikon F mount to Sony E mount adapter. I suggest the Voigtlander adapter, which will enable to use the manual aperture ring on the 200mm f/1.4D lens, and will enable to you to control the aperture speed of your G lenses through the camera body. Please note however, that automatic lens functions will not be retained with the use of this adapter, such as autofocus or auto exposure: http://bhpho.to/1jwxfRW

Q: 2. As a Nikon D800 videographer I'm thinking to migrate to the new Sony A7S II keeping my lenses. Will I be able to change on the go aperture and focus (not continuous, just by pressing the button)? Thanks!

A: You can manually focus and change the aperture while recording. But there is not auto-focus connection to the camera. So there is no pressing the button involved. Note: I'm using this on a Sony A6000 and Sony NEXCAM camcorder - both have smaller APS-C sensors (aka DX) than the A7S II (FX - like the Nikon D800). I cannot confirm if you will get vignetting or not with the full-frame Sony A7 series.

Q: 6. I'm trying to find the correct adapter to use this lens: Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens on a Sony A6000. Is this the correct adapter? Are there other options? Thanks!

A: This is the right adapter for your Nikon G lenses. I had already bought an earlier Fododiox adapter before this one but it worked only with older Nikon lenses with manual aperture settings. That was the reason I bought this new adapter for G lenses, because you can dial in the aperture manually using the adapter's markings. It will also work with the older Nikon non-Ai, Ai, or AiS lenses.You have to know how to use it, because the markings do not specify the actual aperture values. The markings are F(widest) . 2 . 3 . 4 up to 8(smallest). Each number is equivalent to one stop. The dot in between the numbers can be the equivalent to a half-stop (i.e., 3.5, 4.5, 6.3 etc). From one dot to another dot is also equivalent to one stop.When using with a G lens, you use the adapter markings to adjust the aperture manually. Turn the adjustment to number 8 for the smallest opening and to the letter F for the widest. The adapter engages with the G lens aperture settings. This means you have to know the smallest aperture setting of the lens from #8, or the widest opening of the lens from F, and count the number of stops to where you want to set it using the following sequence: f/22, 16, 11, 8, 5.6, 4, 2.8, 2, 1.4).When using with an older Ai or AiS manual lenses or with AF lenses with aperture settings, turn the adapter to 8 and then use the lens' aperture settings to adjust the opening. The lens' aperture setting will engage with the adapter's diaphragm.

Q: 7. Is this the proper adapter for mounting the AF-S Micro-Nikkor F2.8G ED lens on the Sony A7 camera...?

A: The Metabones Nikon G Lens to Sony NEX Camera Lens Mount Adapter would be the correct adapter to connect the Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor f/2.8G ED lens to the E-mount on the Sony Alpha a7 Mirrorless Digital Camera. (The lens focal number was not listed above, but if it is a Nikon f/2.8G lens as you indicate, it would be the correct adapter).

Q: 8. is Metabones Nikon G compatibel with nikon 200-400mm lens?

A: Yes. It will work with any Nikon lens -- older lenses with aperter rings and newer G lenses which have no aperture ring. With G lenses you set the aperture on the adapter.

Q: 9. When I use this adapter with a Nikon D lens that has an aperture ring, I have both the ring on the lens and the ring on this adapter. Should I lock the ring on the lens and set my aperture on the adapter, or set the adapter to some setting and make my adjustments on the lens? Thanks

A: Keep the adapter aperture ring at the largest setting and use the aperture ring on you lens because there is no f stop number on the adapter. Otherwise either one is ok but not both

Q: 10. Can you control the aperture of a pc-e lens? Is there any solution?

A: The aperture is control by the manual iris ring on the meta bones. I believe there are seven stops to close down. The aperture will NOT be controlled by the camera body.
