Sorry if this has been asked before...

 

1. Does this adapter allow direct attachment of Nikon manual glass to the SL... looks like it does.

 

2. Does it allow aperture control??

If you are referring to the non-electronic Novoflex adapter this will support manual Nikkor lenses. I am using it for a few "G" lenses. Aperture control works but don't expect any exact display of the aperture chosen. It is just a short twist of the aperture ring to move from fully open to closed aperture (or anything in between). Thus, you need to set the camera to A mode to get the exposure correctly calculated.

Two types of Nikon adapters for SL are available from Novoflex and many others. 

 

For Nikon G lenses, there is a ring which manually closes the aperture. 

 

All Nikon glass upto D, had an aperture ring on the lens which manually sets the aperture. 

 

Novoflex also offer an adapter for E lenses, which allows full electronic control and AF.
