George Ebersole Posted September 4, 2016 I used a Nikon D5500 last week and the week before last, and really liked it. I have three EOS lenses from my old Canon kit, and was wondering if the Nikon needs an EOS adapter. Believe it or not I cruised several sites last night trying to find out, but couldn't get an answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
George Ebersole Posted September 4, 2016 nm, sorry for the dumb question. I got my answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian Sierkowski Posted September 6, 2016 Not a dumb question at all. For anyone else who googles, as far as I know, you can go Nikon to Canon, but not Canon to Nikon (which is one reason why i love older Nikon lenses-- cheaper than EOS, more organic, and adapters are cheap) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Brereton Posted September 7, 2016 The older Canon FD glass is nice as well, but can't be used on EOS cameras without an optical adapter, whereas it works on Nikons just fine with a straightforward mount adapter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrong. Can't use FD on F mount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
