Canon Tilt Shift 4 Nikon

Hello group

I'm looking for info on converting Canon tilt shift lenses to Nikon mount.

Is it possible to convert an EOS mount to Nikon, I'd love to use the 24 T/S

I've heard that the older FD mount can be adapted. Other than the 35mm are
there any other Canon FD mount tilt shift lenses available. By the way I'm
currently using the wonderful Nikon 85 Tilt shift so I'm more interested in
wider lenses.

If anyone out there has converted lenses they want to sell or want ot reply
to me directly on these questions feel free

thanks

 

BH Photo sells an adapter for $179 that will allow use
of Nikon lenses on a Canon EOS body. It's made by
Novoflex. It works, but it's a bit of a PITA. Obviously
the exposure and focus will be all manual when you
use it.

I don't understand why the camera's in-focus indicator
can't work with the adapter, but on my 10D, it simply
doesn't. And manual focus on the 10D is not terribly
accurate, I've found.

The other bad news here is that my Nikon lenses
don't seem to fare very well (image-wise) compared
to the Canon L zoom.

Apparently it's not too difficult the other way around- an adaptor is
available. Unfortunately, this means that any adapter working the other way
would act as either a teleconverter or extension tube. You'd lose your angle
of view, or infinity, and certainly some light.

I'd recommend a cheap EOS body exclusively for the 24TSE, or even an
expensive EOS body and adapt all your Nikon glass onto it. Depending on
budget of course.

 

Difficult to do....The distance to the film plane on Nikons is 46.5 mm, and
for the Canon eos, it's 44 mm, so the Canon lenses have to be closer,
leaving no space for an adapter.....For a list of these distances, go to:

Even if you could mount the Canon EF lens on your Nikon body, there
would be no way to control the aperture.

much cheaper to buy a cheap EOS camera to mount it to.
