AI G AF-S Mount Lens to Fuji FX X-Pro1 XT4 X-M1 X-A1 X-E1 Adapter K&F Concept Camera Lens Adapter Ring
SKU: KF06.109
This adapter ring is excellent quality (all metal) for the asking price. The processing is very good with very well calibrated processing in the lens mounts; Absolutely no problems with mounting, I even have to say that the first mounting of my Sigma 18-35 f1.8 (Nikon mount) on my Fuji XT2 was extremely hard, then in subsequent uses everything goes back to normal! However, you must be careful that the mounting direction of the ring on the lens side (Nikon mount hence) rotates in the opposite direction to the Fuji mount on the other side, and because of the relative strength of the mount you must be careful to rotate the ring to hold yourself tightly so as not to force the click to lock the bracket on the Fuji body, because by mounting the Nikon lens on the ring already on the body (that is, the opposite direction On the Fuji system) we press on the Mount the body in the direction the ring will be removed so press the safety button to lock the lenses in place AND NOT ON THE END OF THE BODY MOUNT STOP where it wouldn't matter. So be careful not to foolishly damage your body through mishandling... Otherwise, the Micro-Nikkor AF-D 60mm lenses and the Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 and 18-35mm f1.8 work very well on the Fuji XT2. Also note that while the diaphragm adjustment ring on the K&F is precise, the notches in the 6 positions are very (too much?) close together. Also, the apertures obtained are random or rather unknown (so not 2.8 to the exact 4 — we use an X-aperture, which is also different for each lens, albeit reproducible each time). A habit to get used to!

Fantastic piece of kit that allows you to use your Nikon G lenses on your Fujifilm. You have to go into your Fujifilm settings and set it to take photos without a lens, then it works fine. The aperture is set on the smallest lenses and the aperture ring only changes it by 5 stops. So if you have an F4 lens, you can't go to F16, for example. It has a bit of weight, but it is of excellent build quality. I've used it with a 50mm Nikon lens and a 70-200mm Nikon lens and there is absolutely no movement when everything is connected. It fits perfectly. The focus peaking works well when using the adapter and the focus is spot on. (see photos taken in a dimly lit room) Sharpness is maintained throughout. Since the Fuji is an APS-C and my lenses were made for full frame there is a crop of 1.5 which makes my 50mm 75mm on the Fujifilm and when I use the 70-200mm it gives me due to the crop a focal length of 105 - 300 mm without loss of quality. If you have Nikon glass and a Fujifilm X camera, this is definitely a win-win-win-win for you and saves you money. Yes, it can't be autofocus, but that's a small price to pay, manual focus with peaking is a lot more fun anyway. I definitely recommend this adapter 100%.

add a clarification on the product after use. I'm very happy with the Nikon 35 1.8DX on this adapter.. which I thought was a bit thick.. I expected some loss of brightness. Since there is nothing in the product details, I tried to ask K&F about it: no answer... :( Well, I did the measurements myself... with the same aperture on a sensor with the same resolution, we go with the adapter from 1 /800 to 1/500.. so 3/4 of an additional f-stop my 1.8 Nikon becomes a 2.2... a 2.8 becomes a 3.5 the product is excellent but good to know this loss of brightness ( would have liked to see it noted). As with the extended rings, the lens attached does not lose any sharpness I was waiting to receive it, at least not expecting the best... Surprise; the product is heavy, well finished (I have already extended All plastic rings) I grab my XM1, I pull out my fixed AFD focal lengths... the 24... that becomes a 36... and the 35/2 a 53mm my first attempts at shooting don't work: he you have to Select "shoot without lens" in the xm1 settings, I continue to shoot, excellent the system of" ; "Rand" on the screen when the MAP is ready, (I tested at 1.8-2 to verify this map, on the computer the map is actually correct). The contrast system is only really apparent at a wide aperture... As with some old cameras, open the aperture card wide and stop before shooting with other cameras in range that also have viewfinders. It might be easier to focus manually: the ring also allows you to do glare, you do that "at your discretion", but it's great to have. The 35 1.8Dx is very good at 1.8 for anything that doesn't need an ultra-fast card (j) I've tried portraits of my dogs... that move... well, manual focus on the XM1 screen remains quick and accurate ), for anyone who has a quality focal length stash that doesn't want to buy new ones that aren't necessarily better in terms of sharpness (no choice on Xmount Mount). I recommend this ring in addition, very affordable I am very happy with this surprise purchase, all my Nikon lenses are reworked with this camera

And I want to respond to the comment that suggests losing the diaphragm. I disagree. I'm a professional photographer and just ran tests, I don't notice any loss of light. In this type of test it is necessary to be very rigorous, there are several possible approaches and I will give you one of them. 1/ Eliminate any outdoor light source that is constantly changing. I used LED lighting so I let the temperature rise nicely. 2/ To check the aperture of the lens you want to use, take a lens with an external aperture ring (I used a Nikon 50mm f/1.4D) on the adapter ring side. In this case it is important to set it to the closed position. It is the lens that takes control of the aperture. I set it to an aperture of 5.6. 3/Don't leave the sensitivity on auto (I set it to 400 ISO) 4/Take a photo of a very specific scene (you must have the same frame for the second photo) 5/Remove the ring and set a Fuji XF lens on the camera (I used the 16x50mm kit lens on the aperture first, or manual, of course the same aperture here 5.6). 6/ Take a picture of the scene (identical framing) and compare the speeds between the two photos. With a Fuji X-T10, the photo with the ring was darker, but the speed was faster. At the same speed, the photos are the same, so no loss of light. Now you should also know that each lens can have real differences in aperture compared to advertised values. Also, be careful when comparing speeds with another device. It is very likely that you have differences. Fuji, for example, cheats with the announced sensitivities. If it tells you ISO 200 you are actually at +- 120 ISO. Worse still, with an Olympus OMD EM10 I notice speed differences that can easily be doubled with a Nikon D800 (so 6400 iso Olympus = 3200 ISO on a Nikon D800 for example). Anyway, when a manufacturer announces that his device starts at 200 ISO and at 100 ISO there is a loss of dynamics, I understand that he is cheating on his 200 ISO, it is 100. Coming back to this ring: Personally, I don't find any flaws in it , except maybe its weight (130 g).

Fits very well, at least the adapter, which was delivered very quickly, is valuable. Dimming possible with rotating ring. Infinity setting guaranteed. Good quality.

already owned a K&F adapter (Minolta MD to Fuji X) and was already impressed by the quality. The adapters have no recognizable play on the bayonet, they are still processed cleanly, as far as I can judge as a layman. No sharp edges, no protruding parts. The adapter from Nikon G to Fuji X differs from other adapters by the aperture ring, which sits firmly and is pleasantly soft and valuable. The aperture can be regulated very well and there is still no play to be seen with this adapter, despite the obviously more complex design. Focusing works indefinitely. Absolute purchase recommendation!

Super processed, there is nothing to complain about. Nothing rattles, everything fits perfectly. The photos will be good too. All sample images taken with the aperture wide open. The only small deduction is for the somewhat imprecise aperture ring. But it is criticism at a high level. Just the fly in the ointment. But for the price it's totally fine. Nevertheless I would buy it again. Absolute purchase recommendation!

The adapter ring from K&F met my expectations. It was clear from the start that there was no adapter that operated the autofocus. Nevertheless, I was curious to see whether my high-quality FX lenses could keep up the quality of the Fuji. The adapter was easy to assemble and it was almost self-explanatory how to use it. (Here I would have wished for a small instruction manual, which also leads to a star devaluation). I tried several lenses. It is clear that a 70-200mm on the Fuji is oversized and you would need a tripod for it. But my 50 and 58 1.4 work great. Thanks to the good grip of the setting wheels on the adapter, they can also be focused quickly. The adapter also makes an excellent impression for sustainable use thanks to its high-quality metal feel. I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with it. A little tip on the side in the XT2 you have to set in the menu that you want to take pictures without lenses, otherwise it won't work.

Fits like a glove - nothing rattles, nothing is too tight, a really excellent adapter that I can only recommend!
