Hello,

I want to adapt some lenses to a Nikon DSLR just for the fun of it. There are plenty of adaptors from different manufacturers on ebay and amazon, has anyone experience with these and can tell me which one I should choose?

Best,
Emilio

I'm surprised nobody responded to this. I think I saw your question posted in another forum and you had some good responses there. I personally have one for my D700 and have used it a total of 3 times. I didn't find manually focusing on the D700 to be particularly good. In fact I ended up with a few out of focus pictures. The photos also came out hot (overexposed). Overall, the experience isn't all that great using a Hasselblad lens with the DSLR.

I do have examples of closeups taken with the 120mm macro with the combo. It's at http://www.flickr.com/photos/nathantw/sets/72157629604327793/ .

Good luck!
 
Novoflex has a system which lets you switch lensside and cameraside so you can have on the lensside Hasselblad and on the camer e.g., Nikon or if you want exchange it for Canon, Pentax etc..
 
Here is my Sony Nex-3 Body (with flip-up homemade viewer), with 30mm F3.5 C T* Hasselblad Distagon. Hooking it all together, is a Hasselblad/to/Canon EOS Adapter, and then, a Canon EOS/to/Nex Adapter. I buy digital adapters from Ebay from the dealer "Rainbow Imaging". They are excellent, and -not- expensive. Recommended.

It works well, using the Nex-3 in Manual Mode. Wish the chip was bigger, but it cost alot less than a CFV back. ;-) 001.JPG
 
I'm using a Hartblei Tilt adapter that can be set with the lens parallel to the sensor, tilted up to 8 degrees, and rotated thru 360 degrees. I've mostly used it on a D800 body with a 120mm Makro for tabletop stuff, and I want to try it with the Makro or an 80mm for portraits. I've had no issues with mine. I've also got a Kipon adapter to mount Pentax lenses on my Fuji X-E1 and it's been problem free as well. In my searching Hartblei and Kipon are the names that kept turning up.
