Hey guys I have a Tiny1 astronomy camera that has a C mount for lenses and I want to use my 70-200 f2.8 and 300 f2.8 Nikon lenses on it but most of the C mount adapters don’t have manual aperture control.
I have found this one

FotodioX Nikon G to C-Mount Pro Lens Mount Adapter with Aperture-Control Dial
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1150822-REG/fotodiox_nkg_af_c_pro_lens_mount_adapter.html

But it is for G mount lenses, will it work on my F mount lenses to control the aperture.

What a Curly Cuestion!:eek:
The F-mount leses have an aperture ring, and this adapter says it has
an "aperture control dial". - But G-lenses do not have an aperture dial
:eek::confused013 and :umm::scrtch:

Yet, the description for this adapter says:


Product Highlights

Adapts Nikon G lens to C-Mount Cameras
Works with FX and DX Lenses
Maintains Infinity
Incorporated Manual Aperture Adjustment

First I wasn't sure, and now not even certain of that:confused013

--I tend to think it should (and then change back).
