JamesF Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I believe so. Try a google for "canon nikon lens converter".James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthernMonkey Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 You probably won't get infinity focus though, making it useless for astrophotography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlassWalker Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 They exist and are quite common. Due to the Canon having a shorter mount distance, well made adapters will have no problem with retaining infinity focus. Some of the adapter makers have even managed to put aperture control on the adapter if you want to be able to do so on Nikon G lenses which don't have an aperture ring.

farunj Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Can we also have an adapter for nikon cams which accept canon lenses?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E621Keith Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Can we also have an adapter for nikon cams which accept canon lenses??Nikon has a longer flange focal plane distance than Canon, so Nikon body will need an adapter with an optical elements to allow it to reach infinity focus with a canon lens. Needless to say it's not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesF Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'm sure there is one. Googling as above probably gives appropriate results for both.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
