Was ist das? As the Germans would say.
Never!
Mainly because Nikon lenses already provide all your needs unless you want your lenses dressed in white :-)

Not sure where you heard that myth, but G lens diaphragms can be actuated mechanically.
The G lens diaphragm is mechanical. It's the E lens that is similar to the Canon EF lens.

That’s what I said. It was a couple of others who said otherwise.

I posted the question because I wanted to try the Canon MP-E 65mm micro lens. 1:1 at low magnification, up to 5X at the high end. Strictly closeup use. Nikon does not offer a lens of that design in a macro lens. High magnification macro is not really mainstream. And that lens is an EF lens, never made in other various Canon mounts. There is no doubt that Nikon and Canon lenses have many excellent lenses for sale. To bad Canon dissed its customers by coming out with many versions of mounts so its' customers need to buy the newest lens for the newest camera. Kind of sad? I like being able to use some lenses from the sixties on my Nikon bodies with no adapters. But that one Canon macro lens is the only one of the offerings from Canon that interests me. Since it appears there is no adapter I will just have to pass on that lens. I do prefer Nikon for many reasons, but that is not the point of this posting. We have such a variety of camera brands to choose from, makes for fun times.

Yup. Me too, also. I just tried out the bitty 35-70 lens from my Nikon EM, and it still works good on the d7100. Full manual, but I grew up on folders. But yes- except for batteries, all my Nikons fit all my Nikons. Some digital lenses don't have a focus ring, so they don't really work on film cameras. A friend has a digital Sony that uses old Minolta film lenses, also. And once I find my old Fed (tiny relative's fingers punched thru the shutter :P) I'll have a fast m39 prime lens that I'll get that ebay adapter for and try that on my Nikon.
There will be no electrical connection to the Nikon body thru the adapter- full manual only.

In the meantime, speaking of which, I just got my new adapter all the way from the Ukraine. I'm trying out my Zeiss Pentacon6 80mm lens on me Nikon. So far, f5.6 looks wunderbar.
