Nikon F-Mount for G Objektive (/FMG)
Nikon G lenses
Nikon G lenses are optimized for digital photographie but don´t offer
mechanical aperture adjustment. The Nikon /FMG Adapter allows even
with these lenses to perform mechanical aperture adjustment by use of a
adjustment ring on the lens holder. The adjustment of the aperture is
performed continuously.
When mounting a standard F-Mount lens (with mechanical aperture
ring) onto the /FMG adapter, please pay attention, that the aperture ring
on the adapter don´t affects the aperture adjustment on the lens. Please
turn the aperture ring of the adapter clock-wise (seen from the front) to
ist mechanical stop.
