Wade Rupp Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Has any body here successfully used an ultra-wide adapter on the Nikkor 7-70mm zoom, or maybe used a rod support to hold a bigger adapter in front of the lens? Seems that all I've heard is that no ultra-wide lens works on the Nikon R10. Wade Rupp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Rupp Because the R10 has macro "in the long angle", so to speak, you need to first mount a 1:1 element, and then the WA attachment, and then you have to critically focus all your WA shots, as opposed to say, a Canon 814, which has one fixed macro "in the wide angle" focal setting for WA. The 1:1 can thread directly onto the front element, and then rods are indeed handy for mounting the WA element. Here is a picture of some mods I made to an R10 for this type of purpose - http://friendlyfirefilms.ca/nikonr10.html Here is a picture of the WA attachment in use - http://friendlyfirefilms.ca/lenses.html HTH Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
