antonio m. Posted July 14, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just bought a M240 and it is not clear to me if it possible to mount Nikkor lenses ( trough an adaptor) on it, and if this is the case there will be limitations in use ?

Advertisement Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Hi antonio m., Take a look here Nikkor lenses on M240. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted July 14, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 14, 2018 Google is your friend: https://fotodioxpro.com/products/nikf-lm And many other suppliers. Novoflex is usually the highest quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted July 15, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 15, 2018 I just bought a M240 and it is not clear to me if it possible to mount Nikkor lenses ( trough an adaptor) on it, and if this is the case there will be limitations in use ? Thank you Welcome Antonio. You'll need the electronic viewfinder too, of course. I often use Nikkor zooms. They are very good. The zoom Nikkor 28-50 f3.5 is versatile with its close-up capabilities. A pretty heavy rig though....but most old zooms are heavy. ... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted July 15, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 15, 2018 And the Micro-Nikkor 55mm f3.5 and f2.8, are wonderful macro lenses too. Makes for a comfortable balanced rig on the M240...and still gives a 55mm perspective. ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted July 15, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 15, 2018 You can get an adapter on eBay, it doesn't need to be expensive because it only acts as a spacer. Then you need an Olympus VF-2 EVF, or use the camera on a tripod with Live View, and you are ready to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio m. Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted July 16, 2018 Thank you everyone for your kind and fast answers. Yes of course I already have the EVF 2. When using the M240 with adapter and Nikkor lens shall I keep all functions of camera or will I loose something ? All best Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 16, 2018 Share #7 Posted July 16, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) The camera will lose automatic EVF magnification, you will need to use the front button (and thumb wheel) for that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markhout Posted August 4, 2018 Share #8 Posted August 4, 2018 With the M240 and the EVF I can (finally) focus my 50mm 1.2. AIS properly wide open! Highly recommended to give it a try. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Welcome Antonio, I have a M240 a lot of Nikkor lenses and an adapter. But..I never use the Nikon on the M 240. It's IMHO more fun ( and faster ) to use them on a Nikon body.

jmahto Posted August 5, 2018 Share #10 Posted August 5, 2018 With the M240 and the EVF I can (finally) focus my 50mm 1.2. AIS properly wide open! Highly recommended to give it a try.I have a 28-85 Nikkor and sometimes I use it. Once I tried an experiment of keeping EVF on all the time with Nikkor lens attached to M240 during my photo walk for couple of hours. Camera was set to sleep in 2 min and I woke it up by tapping shutter when I wanted to shoot. I compared the experience with same Nikkor on FM2 and surprisingly found M240 a better platform than FM2 (mainly focusing ease by zoom magnification as opposed to split prism). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocaburger Posted August 8, 2018 Share #11 Posted August 8, 2018 I too have a slew of Nikkors, an adapter, and the EVF. I have used Nikkors (and an R zoom) on the M240, and the images are fine, but the EVF and bulky lenses defeat the two reasons I use the M system. I use Canon for my DSLR, and I find adapting my Nikkors (all manual focus) to it is a much nicer experience both in terms of handling and viewing/focusing. I do use one Nikkor frequently on my M240 though...a 105mm f/2.5 which is rangefinder coupled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
