AF in a Lumix G5K adding Nikon glass

Life is about learning...sometimes costly. Burning a hole in my brain was the idea of adding a coupler to allow AF using Nikon lens. Bought a VILTROX unit from Amazon and proceeded to test with an array of Nikon glass. None worked UNTIL I tried my 50mm (AF-S). Lo and behold I had auto focus (at a decent speed, too). Next morning tried the other lenses.....still NO GO. But found a hidden AF-S 24-120 that did work. Had the lens story validated by the LCS, and now will flesh out the glass inventory with more AF-S (Can use with my D750).
When you next shop a coupler for your own brand of poison make certain you have it's equivilent
machinery to make the pix clear. There is no charge for my services....Peter
