Nikon Mount

[jakeblu]

Bought this at a car boot today Nikon 1.8 50mm with the intention of using it on my Fuji X mount. Never had a Nikon so really know nothing about the mounts and I am unsure which Nikon to XF adapter to buy. Could someone please identify this mount for me



Any help appreciated

Hi Steve, It's a standard "Nikon F to Fuji XF". Adaptor that you need. Some are called Nikon AI to Fuji XF. Both are perfectly alright to use.

Don't worry about the prongs on top of the lens, they are index prongs used for setting the camera meter on early film Nikons to the correct maximum and minimum aperture of the lens, and serve no purpose on later Nikons.

When you purchase an adaptor make sure it enables you to manual focus at infinity (not all of them allow this) other than that virtually any Nikon to Fuji XF adaptor will suffice. I got mine from Ebay for just a few pounds.

Hope this helps.,

George.

Just to confirm, this is indeed AI-S. If in doubt, the serial number should match up to a lens from the AI-S block and the lowest f-stop in the small set of numbers should be orange.

Thanks guys, looking on eBay for an adapter but there a bit dearer for the x mount than the MFT's adapters I used to buy

It is a lovely lens & the going rate for one on Ebay is anywhere from £50 to £100. Depending on what you paid for it, you might be able to offload it for a profit & re-invest in another 50mm that has a cheaper adapter?

I use one of these (£10.49 delivered from Amazon) and haven't had any problems, though I tend to use my M42 lenses rather than the Nikon.

Paid a tenner for it so I suppose that's a possibility

Cheers Dean, that's not too bad a price. Will maybe give one of those a go
