Canon, Nikkor lenses to M8

[lemeeg]

I have Canon and Nikkor lenses. I'm considering the M8. Anyone know if adapters are available to use the C and N lenses on the M8. So far, I've got a not available from Novaflex.

you can use M mount adapters, made by Leitz, CV or Marumi.
these will mount m39 screw mount lenses, if the Canon and Nikkor lenses that you have, are Leica screw mount, to the M bayonette mount.

Err...I no butkus about Canon lenses.

But Nikkor lenses are either: S-mount for older (ancient) RF format or F-mount for SLR!

There are obscure, hard to obtain ways of mounting some of each type to a M-mount camera. Many adaptation problems even with film gear. Goodness knows what kind of results (focal length problems come immediately to mind) you'd get with a M8 and it's crop factor.

BTW: Why do you use HUGE fonts in BOLD FACE? 😕

Some eyesight challenged people may not realize they can increase text size in their browser? But the answer to his question would what kind of Canon and Nikkor lenses? Cameraquest has an Nikon F mount to M adaptor. That would get the lens onto the M8, or any other M body, for that matter. Not sure about Canon FD.

As to Canon LTM, just use a LTM to M adaptor.

Nikkor did make lenses in Leica Thread Mount also.
