The EF-M mount is made to support cropped sensor, mirrorless Canon cameras. RF lenses are made for full-frame, mirrorless Canon cameras. Although these mounts support different Canon systems, they are all compatible with Nikon F-Mount lenses when using the correct adapter. The easiest method for determining which mount is on your Canon camera is to look for indicators on the lens mount itself. First, remove the lens and then check for the following marks.
A red dot indicates an EF mount. A white square indicates an EF-M mount. A red dash indicates an RF mount. There are many adapters on the market capable of connecting your Canon lenses to camera bodies made by different brands. The most cost-effective options on the market come in as low as Regardless of cost, you should aim to find a sturdy adapter designed precisely to connect your lens and camera.
I highly recommend using an adapter made from metal parts that will not break easily. In doing so, we prevent any damage to the camera or the lens, should one component fail. First, remove the rear lens cap. Then line up the red indicators on the lens and adapter. First, turn off the camera.
Remove the existing lens by pushing down the lens release button. Next, you need to match up the red dots on both the adapter and camera mount. Rotate clockwise until you hear a click and then turn the camera on.
The connections that make autofocus possible will not work between different manufacturers. This is because Autofocus relies on precise electronic communication between lens and camera. When using an adapter, this becomes disrupted. Modern Nikon lenses automatically open to the widest aperture when mounted to a Nikon camera. The lens then closes to the smallest aperture when dismounted. This feature exists to allow the most amount of light to pass through the lens to help with focusing.
However, an adapter bypasses this feature, making manual focusing more difficult. You may have to open the aperture to its widest setting to focus your images manually. On Nikon lenses, image stabilization is called Vibration Reduction. Plenty of brands with several options are available nowadays for you. The real fact is, mounting a different brand lens on the other brand camera is not any efficient matter. You can use an adapter to use it, but everything related to this lens you have to operate manually in most cases.
However, a branded Canon to Nikon Lens Adapter may give you a better output in that case. Name one global company that doubled its revenue since Covid started.

Hi Dan, I just got my 1st nikon lens, a 50mm 1. Seems to fit nicely. I have tried AV and Manual modes…. Hi David, Great lens!
For shooting video, your only option will be the video mode. AV and Manual are for stills. But the good news is that you can shoot with it in auto or manual in stills mode: just go to the menu, and under Movie Exposure, select either Manual or Auto. If you select Auto, your camera will automatically set the shutter speed in response to your changes of aperture. Make sense? However also planing for the spare camera some Nikon lenses.
Well u said already manual focus but would u pl. I am bit confused with different series and types avilable in the market. Having said that would you recommend carl zeiss dslr kit over old Nikon? Thanks and appreciate ur reply. Rgds Andy. The Zeiss CP. Regarding Nikon, any of the older manual focus ones are outstanding, such as the AI series.
Even the older ones, such as the Nikkor-N, work fantastically with EOS adapters if you simply remove the protruding lever with a philips head screwdriver. I have a Nikkor-N 35mm 1.
Appreciate it. By the by I had watched some of your Videos.. All the best! I been reading a lot of getting prime fix lenses like the 50mm, 85mm, 14mm and so on but nothing about attaching Zoom Nikon lenses to canon bodies. Is it possible?
So i would rather start slowly buying nikon lenses until i get to the point where i can just buy a full frame nikon body…. Hi Eric, You can use both primes and zooms with adapters. I wondered if you ran into a similiar problen, and if so what you did to resolve it.
Very interesting. However, I have the opposite problem: if I try to put the 20 on a NIkon camera, it locks up the aperture ring. I have only tried this once, because I purchased the lens used for use with my Canons. My wife has a Nikon and one time she wanted to borrow the lens, which is how I discovered this issue. Go figure! Hi Ahmad, The D is a great camera for shooting video, definitely the way to go vs.
Nikon D And yes, you can use all of your Nikon glass without any problem, as long as you have an adapter. I prefer the manual focus Nikon glass for use on Canons, simply because they have bigger focusing rings. Weird stuff indeed. They came up with 3 solutions: using force to rotate the ring hoping that things will get smoother over time , using a little oil on the adapter itself, and finally taking the inset completely off.
Ah ha. Thanks Elias. I own a canon EOS D. Are those lenses compatible with Canon OS D? Have fun with it. You can easily modify the pre-ai lenses to work. I have a pre-ai 35mm lens that I used a jewelers phillips head screwdriver to remove the flange that sticks out from the lens. Removing that allows it to be used on Canon lenses with an adapter without any compromise to the image quality.
I an trying to take pictures of Jupiter an Venus in the western sky. I get good pictures,but I get a glowing orb in several pictures. That orb moves around in 8 sec. I cover the view finder. Any ideas on the UFO looking flaw?
Thank You Jim. Hi Jim, It sounds like a ghosting issue. Thank you so much for the article, extremely helpful. I am about to purchase the Canon t2i and I inherited a bunch 6 of Nikon lenses. I am new to all of this but would like to start shooting videos. I was hoping I could use these on my new Canon T2i. Some of the lenses I have are. I just wrote down what was written, I have been having a little trouble Identifying for sure what lenses these are.
All of them should be fine. The thing to watch out for is that the flange on the adapter side is sometimes too deep on a few of the older non-AI Nikon lenses, which will cause them to bottom out when mounted to modern EOS camera bodies with an adapter.
Thank Dan, So the reflection is from the coating or lackoff on the len It self… What len would you recomend 50 to 85mm to take star pictures.. I tend to shoot moderately wide when I do astro time lapses.
If I were going tighter, it would be because I wanted to zero in on some specific thing, which it sounds like you want to do with the specific planets.
So a 50 or 80 could be perfect for you. But with shots of this kind, you really have to play with it until you find what you want. I recently purchased couple of manual Nikon AIS lenses and waiting for the adapters to arrive. One of my professional stills photographer friends mentioned that I would have a hard time pulling focus with these manual lenses. Could you please advise. I prefer a heavier throw than most newer Canon lenses provide, and Nikon lenses deliver that.
So for me, they are easier to pull focus with than Canon glass. Also, I was unable to get good results with my efforts at follow focus until I purchased a Genus Bravo follow focus. Thanks, Dan. So the dilemma is whether to purchase or rent an FF. Lastly, does your Genus Bravo allow you to pull focus on both Canon and Nikon lenses, meaning can you switch from side to side? I think your friend is referring to an issue that affects still shooting in Live View with Nikon glass.
Regarding choosing a follow focus, my first purchase was a dirt-cheap unit from Jag It was all I could afford when I started out, and it was better than nothing. But my frustration at getting consistent pulls with the Jag eventually led me into my local camera shop, where I was able to put my hands on several different units. The Genus Bravo immediately felt different to me: it has a heavy pull, very damp, with virtually no play.
And yes, the Bravo allows you to reverse the gear so you can get consistent direction for both Nikon and Canon, and you can flip it to either side.
