p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Anyone put a Nikon 10.5mm on an alt camera?


I tried putting it on my X-T1, but the hood is visible in much of the photo. I guess the lens is just too wide. Could it possibly be the adapter? I have a cheap Fotasy N/G/Fx adapter I got off Amazon. Would the Metabones possibly remedy the issue? Or just the fact that the rear element distance is too far from the sensor. Any help is much appreciated.

Are the hood petals in the right position when the lens is adapted? Are the longer parts exactly top and bottom and not anywhere else? If the adapter is not correctly made (lens is bit twisted when its adapted) the longer petals of the hood might show in photos.

Like Sami mentioned, this was the issue I had when I tried it on my old Fuji XE1.

Oh... Okay. I'm hoping it's just my adapter. It is a bit twisted off center. That may be the issue. Thanks!
