I bought this adapter to mount my dad's old AI lenses to my Nikon 1 J5. I set the camera to Manual as suggested and the whole setup works flawlessly. The camera meters properly. Shutter speed, ISO and exposure adjustments may still be changed freely on the camera. Aperture and focus are of course adjusted manually on the lens. The build of the adapter is very sturdy, and all metal as advertised. I'm very happy with my purchase, and the price was excellent! I works correctly with my dad's old Soligor 2X teleconverter and my Nikon 1 mount extension tubes. I could not be more pleased with this little (but hefty) piece of hardware.

The quality is very good for the price.
In addition, HiShop staff really value your comments.
To have more fun, one shall use a manual focus and manual aperture lens with it.
"The darkest picture":
I used Holga HL-N 60mm f/8 standard lens with it on my V1. The resultant pictures are so dark even set ISO=HI and a pretty slow shutter speed (1/15).
"The brightest picture" (Please pardon the blurry picture):
I used Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD for test. The adaptor works fine when I used a trick to keep the aperture fully opened (ISO=200, exposure time=1/15).
"The reference picture":
Under the same condition (ISO=200, exposure time=1/15), taken by NIKON 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 (F4.5).

Solid and resistant, it's inside with my Sony Alpha and I'm oblivious to the inside of the M42 without a problem

Does just what it says - allows me to use my DSLR lenses on my Nikon 1 in manual mode.

This is a well made bit of kit. However whilst it fitted my Nikon J1 5 and my Tamaron lense I was not able to get a decent picture. I suspect if it had been a Nikon lense all would have been well. Alas it had to go back.

Was recommended this by a photographer friend and can agree, it's the best adapter ! Not at all wobbley. Great way to get more use out of some of the excellent lenses, that can be found quite inexpensively these days, on a modern camera.

Excellent product. Very good value. A great way to bring new life to an old lens. I am impressed with the quality of the K&F Concept and the service I received.
