Thread: All current adapters in one page

I don't understand a single word other than some mount names (EF, OM...), but images are self-explanatory and the page is really interesting: m43 adapters

Not quite ALL of them, but a nice sampling of what's available.

I'm not into adapters and legacy lenses so you may be right. There are so many adapters for so many mounts in that page that I thought there could be no more... which mounts are left then?

Neat, but is there an English version somewhere?

I realize that it is possible to translate this page, but I'm lazy!

I have an E-PL1 with an adaptor for my old OM system lenses and it works great. Is there an adaptor for old Nikon lenses? Does it work well if there is one?

Novoflex makes one. It also has an aperture control ring so you can set the aperture on Nikon G lenses if you also have those. The ring is not used if your Nikon lenses have an aperture ring.

Yes, there are many Novoflex adapters in that page.

How about an adapter for a Tamron Adaptall-2 lens to micro 4/3? I have an old Tamron 500mm mirror lens that I used to use on my Nikon cameras. I could leave the Nikon mount on it and use it with an adapter for Nikon lenses, but I don't like the idea of two add ons. Does anyone make one of these?

Novoflex has now started making something else for the mirrorless cameras, starting with their new NEX adapters for Sony. One problem that can occur with these new mirrorless cameras is putting a lens that is too heavy on the camera and then putting the camera onto a tripod. It is possible that the weight of the lens may be too great for the body mount when it is on the tripod (especially when you start adding additional leverage by focusing or adjusting aperture). In some cases the body panel has separated from the camera due to the weight + it is possible that the lens mount may not be strong enough for the larger, heavier lenses and lens to sensor alignment could be effected.
So Novoflex is now starting to make a clamp-on tripod adapters for the mirrorless interchageable cameras that will clamp-on to their adapter and then the clamp is mounted to the tripod directly. The lens and adapter can also rotate when mounted in the clamp making changeover from portrait to landscape very quick and conveient as the lens will then rotate around its axis eliminating the recomposing that may be required when tilting a head on the tripod as well as keeping the camera/lens weight directly above the tripod for greater stability.
These adapters will first be available for the Sony NEX adapters for Canon FD, Contax/Yashica. Leica M, Leica R, M42, Minolta/AF/Sony, Minolta MD, Nikon, Olympus OM, Pentax K and T2 lenses. They are also making adapters for the NEX for Hasselblad, Mamiya 645 and Pentax 67 lenses.
Also new from Novoflex for use on small cameras like the mirrorless ones are two new very slim Arca compatible mounting plates and two mini Arca quick release mounts. One mount accepts the plates above (or any Arca type plate) and mounts directly to a head. The second one has two clamps, one on top and one on the bottom. This makes it possible to mount this new mini Arca type clamp to any Arca type rail and then mount the camera to the clamp on top. Novoflex's new long mounting plates feature the Arca profile on both the top and the bottom of the rail making it possibile to mount a clamp directly to the rail and allowing it to slide to any position on the rail and then mounting a camera directly to the top of the clamp.
