Herb Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hey everybody,I sold my MFT BMCC and bought and Matt's NX1. I also plan on possibly buying a Ursa Mini too.So I'm looking to buy lenses that I can use on both, so that means EF mounts, right?I had been thinking the Sigma 18-35 and then Rokinon DS 50, 85 & 135 to cover most everything. Thoughts?I believe Ed David uses Nikons with his NX1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted June 8, 2015 Super Members Share Posted June 8, 2015 I would say it means Nikon Mount so you can control aperture on the NX1. jonpais and Julian 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 D'oh! Thanks for pointing that out for the Sigma. For the Rokinons it's not an issue, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Nikon mount. Currently no great option for EOS lenses if you want aperture control. Nikon work on everything. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Where can I get this Nikon mount? Anyone can offer some possible methods?Both the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 and the Rokinons are of course available in Nikon F mount, which naturally is what I recommend you get them in (and is what I own mine in: http://ironfilm.co.nz/rokinon-cine-lenses/ ).

Martin BetterFly Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I would also suggest a wide lens, Sigma 18-35 is an amazing all rounder, sometimes I don't even take it off the camera however on apse sensor 18mm becomes around 28mm so it might not be wide enough in some cases. I also have tokina 11-16 which is wide enough but it's not a great match to sigma art.Keep in mind the new Aputure DEC adapter lets you control aperture and focus of EF lenses wirelessly and that the pro version is coming out with a focal reducer aka spepdbooster or lens turbo. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Geoff,Which Nikon G adapter did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Had a simple adapter for non-G lenses that worked well: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003JFMRQS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00Went with the expensive Novoflex for G lenses: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/687512-REG/Novoflex_NX_NIK_NX_NIK_Lens_Adapter.htmlBut it looks like you have cheaper options through amazon. Just search "Nikon G to Samsung NX" and you will get a few results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TILT Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/Pixco-Adjust-Aperture-Adapter-Samsung/dp/B00FS1EWM8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1433878966&sr=1-1&keywords=Nikon+G+to+NX&pebp=1433875850743&perid=07JXG032T6K06P8NY44EIt does the job well considering the price of the adapter. It has a really slight play (half a millimeter) but it doesn't affect focusing even with a follow focus unit.Plus, it has the aperture control ring that you can also find on the more expensive novoflex.

Just search "Nikon G to Samsung NX" and you will get a few results. Does the Novoflex control the aperture in the lens or is it one of those with the aperture inside the adapter? Thanks in advance.

TILT Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yeah it looks like the ring controls the lens. The only one I know with aperture blades in the adapter is made by fotodiox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
