I have the Nikon D7100 and have recently purchased the Sony a6500.

I need your valued opinions on adapters and do they really work with the AF-S Nikon lenses? What I have read is sorta grim....but would like to hear from those that have actually used the adapters with these lenses and what was the outcome....

Thank you,
Edee

Thank you, I did. I would like to hear from some who have the adapters, which ones, and what they experienced as far as quality with their APS lenses

This Tony Northrup video, as always, is pretty extensive as to what works and what doesn't:

I would caution you about any adapter for any camera. That said, here you go.

I purchased and returned the Fotodiox one just last week. It worked, but focusing is very slow. I guess if all you do is portraits and landscape where you can wait for it to focus it would be ok. It was not to my satisfaction so I returned it for full refund. And they are not cheap.. $350-$400 Hope this helps..

Thank you everyone who responded...

Yes, the situation is grim when it comes to Nikon lenses and Sony. Much rather spend the money on a new lens than an adapter.

Love my new little Sony, but, feel sad about not using my trusty ole D7100 and all those lenses...will have to buckle up one of these days and put the whole lot in the classified...
