[QUOTE="EttVenter, post: 54104, member: 8735"] Hi there everyone. I just added a [URL="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3612/3600270220_2bf579f03c.jpg"]Nikon FM[/URL] camera to my camera bag 2 weeks ago. Amazing little camera. Now, what I'd like to do is use some of my G lenses on this camera, like my 85 f/1.4G, but since it doesn't have an aperture rig, I'm pretty much stuck using the lens at f16, which I don't want. So, first question - is there any way to use this lens on the Nikon FM and have Aperture control? Now, I just noticed that there's a [URL="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330716154853+"]Kipon adapter[/URL] that allows you to use Nikon G lenses on the Fuji XPro-1, and the adapter has an aperture ring. Is there a chance that there's a similar adapter that'll allow me to have aperture control on the Nikon FM? Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
