Fotodiox Adapter for Nikon Nikkor Lens to Pentax Q-Series Camera
Category: pentax q
If you own an SLR or DSLR camera along with lenses from various manufacturers, the Fotodiox Mount Adapters make it possible for you to use those lenses on your film or digital camera body. This capability to share lenses comes with several distinct advantages: some prime lenses are irreplaceable, and by utilizing the Fotodiox adapters, you can save the money that would otherwise be spent on new lenses.
Fotodiox provides a comprehensive selection of adapters, ranging from those designed for large format to those suitable for smaller format digital cameras. When adapting larger format lenses to smaller format sensors—such as from large format to medium format, medium format to 35mm, or 35mm to Micro Four Thirds—you can achieve outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness. This approach not only optimizes the image quality but also helps reduce lens distortion and aberration. By using the "sweet spot" at the center of a larger lens image circle, you maximize the clarity and minimize optical flaws.
The construction of the Fotodiox lens mount adapter adheres to high precision standards. Its innovative leaf spring design secures the lens tightly to the camera body, eliminating any play between them. This adapter specifically allows for the fitting of Nikon F lenses onto Pentax Q DSLR camera bodies. It is important to note, however, that while the lens will physically fit, certain functionalities such as automatic diaphragm adjustments, autofocus, and other automatic features will not operate correctly with this adapter. Consequently, you will need to use "stop-down mode" for metering, as the camera body cannot control the lens's aperture. Manual mode or aperture priority mode can be effectively used for shooting in this configuration.
The Fotodiox Mount Adapters are compatible with a range of cameras that include, but are not limited to, the Pentax Q, Q10, Q7, and Q-S1. Keep in mind that the product you receive may exhibit slight differences in appearance compared to the one depicted in images—such as variations in color, font style, or other minor cosmetic aspects due to ongoing design enhancements.
Additionally, the adapter features a smooth surface for seamless mounting. It also allows for infinity focus, which is crucial for landscape photography and other scenarios requiring long-distance focus. Constructed from anodized aluminum, the adapter boasts durability and lightweight attributes, making it a reliable addition to your photography gear. Moreover, it comes with a 24-month manufacturer warranty, ensuring peace of mind with your purchase.
In summary, Fotodiox Mount Adapters offer a practical and efficient solution for photographers who want to maximize their lens usage across different camera bodies, providing both quality and versatility without the need for additional lens purchases.
