Nikon F to S/C adapter: where can I find it?

[siukuenchi]

Hi,

I would like to use my F lenses on my SP.
Some senior members told me that cosina voigtlander has made one before.
Does anyone know where I can find it now ?

Thank you very much!

They have become very very scarce. Maybe write to Stephen Gandy at www.cameraquest.com. He might know of one.

Dear Vick: Thanks!

I remember being disappointed that most of my F-mount Nikkors did not work on the F to S/C adapter, and the ones that did work were a focal length that was too long to scale focus accurately. The problem was not the adapter itself but the helicoid on the camera interfering with the rear of the lens.

The only lens I could use on the adapter without problem was a CV 15mm:

Dear John was surprised, but really you do not know how to solve this simple problem.... Amedeo builds a simple adapter that allows the decentralized use wide angle lenses that protrude too far inside, avoiding interference with the wheel telemetry system ... .

Dear Stefcuoz, sometimes I wonder about your English reading ability

I know that Amedeo makes a Nikon S to Leica M wide angle adapter that shifts the lens optical axis slightly off center, so that S-mount lenses with large rear elements (i.e W-Nikkor 3.5cm f/1.8) can be mounted on M-mount cameras.

But we are NOT talking about that adapter here. We are talking about mounting F-mount lenses onto an S-mount body using the F-S/C adapter. AFAIK Amedeo does NOT make an F-S/C adapter.

make some confusion........

Nikon 21/4 F also works with this adapter. However, getting one is another story.

This is my 21f4 Nikkor kit. That S2 has a very bad rangefinder patch so it is dedicated to the VC adapter and mainly used with the F-mount 21f4 (uncoupled) or, as Jon says, the F-mount 15f4.5 - and occasionally with the F-mount 12f5.6. Some of the "regular" F mount lenses are difficult to mount - though I did use an early 28f3.5 with it - worked. It can be a bit fiddly to mount the 21f4 on it - you have to be sure to get the small "tab" in the correct location or it will not focus to infinity.

Occasionally I get gripped by Nikon fever and shoot for a couple of month with Nikon Rf's only. Usually known as "Nikon Rf Months". This is a Flickr shot from 2007 February and the 12mm f5.6 Heliar in Nikon F mount is mounted on the S2 with the VC adapter.

[Vickko]

Wow, I never realized that the Cosina mount had incompatibilities with other F lenses. When I had mine, I only used it with the 21mm F lens.

Tom .... if you ever want to part with the black dial S2 with the poor patch, let me know.
