Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the adapter have its own diaphragm blades for aperture control, or does it somehow actuate the G lenses aperture blades?

A: It actuates the G lens aperture blades when you twist the blue ring. You are however guessing as to the actual aperture on a G lens. On non G lenses, if you set the aperture to, say f8, when you twist the ring it goes from wide open to the chosen aperture, in this case f8. This is the same for the F sense to Sony FE lens adapters as well. I use the adapter mostly to use a non-G Nikon 85 f1.4 on the SL

Q: 2. why is the G lens, not D lens?

A: The NIKKOR G lens version features built-in aperture control. You can still use a Nikon D series lens with this adapter, however please note no electronic lens functions are retained.

Q: 3. when i'm trying to mount nikon lens on X1Dii 50 C with this, camera is giving lens not detected error. Please help with setting?

A: There is no electronic communication between the camera and the lens when using this adapter, so you need to use the camera menu to switch to the electronic shutter, and use the built-in aperture ring on the adapter in order to control exposure.

Q: 4. Will the Nikon F to Leica T adapter work for a Zeiss ZF (Nikon mount) lens on the Leica SL?

A: Yes, I use this adapter to mount my Otus lenses on my Leica SL.

Q: 5. I am having trouble getting the shutter to fire with Nikon G lenses. They do not have an aperture rings and everything looks good until I try to fire the shutter. Nothing happens. In the viewfinder there is a 0 for the aperture. and the shutter changes when I turn the blue ring. I have tried changing the shutter from mechanical to electronic and it makes not difference. Finally, I changed to a D lense (20mm) but still nothing happens. Shutter will not fire. What am I doing wrong?

A: Because the lens adapter does not communicate with the camera body, it doesn't recognize it as being attached and the camera will not fire unless the "Shoot w/o Lens" menu option is enabled.

Q: 6. Can this handle Arri LPL mount lenses?

A: Unfortunately Novoflex PL Lens to Leica L-Mount Camera Adapter cannot handle Arri LPL lenses. We can order this that would work Leitz Cine LPL-Mount Lens to L-Mount Camera Adapter https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1621224-REG/leitz_cine_11400_003_l_to_lpl_adapter.html

Q: 7. Will this adapter work with Otus 85mm f/1.4 ZF.2 Lens ? I tried that it did not work, because the aperture too bright and can not see the image

A: The Novoflex Nikon F Lens to Leica SL/T Camera Body Lens Adapter is compatible for use with the ZEISS Otus 85mm f/1.4 ZF.2 Lens for Nikon F. You have two options to adjust the aperture with this setup; you may either keep the built-in aperture ring on the ZEISS Otus 85mm f/1.4 ZF.2 Lens for Nikon F wide-open at f/1.4, and you may use the blue ring on the Novoflex adapter to adjust the brightness of your image, or vice-versa, you may keep the blue ring of the Novoflex lens adapter wide open, and use the built-in aperture ring on the ZEISS Otus 85mm f/1.4 ZF.2 Lens for Nikon F to adjust the lens' aperture for your exposure needs. You may need to adjust your ISO and shutter speed (if you are shooting manually) to adjust the brightness of your scene.

Q: 8. is the autofocus working too or will become manual focus?

A: Manual

Q: 9. If I use Nikon G lens with this adapter how do I know what aperture I am setting?

A: Unfortunately, as each lens has a different maximum aperture and aperture range, and as there are no markings on the Novoflex Nikon F Lens to Hasselblad X-Mount Camera Adapter, B&H # NOHAXNIK, there is no way to exactly calculate the aperture. As such, it is recommended to take a test photo at a particular aperture setting and review the result to see if you obtain the depth-of-field you desire in your image. There are markings showing the wide open aperture setting and the closed aperture setting so you will know the direction in which you are turning the aperture ring.
