Fantastic Adapter
This is a great and well built adapter to use Nikkor manual lenses like non-AI, AI and AI-S.
I have few that I held on to over the years, in particular the super sharp 28mm F2.8 AI-S and the "legendary" 105 F2.5 AI-S (used to photograph the Afghan girl on the cover of National Geographic's by Steve McCurry), and couple others.
I tried both the 28mm and the 105mm and all I can say is wow; great results on my newly acquired A7R IV.
Since you don't get an aperture reading in your camera, you'll have to guess what it is when using the sliver ring on the adapter. So what I usually do is set my lens down to F16 then use the silver aperture ring on the adapter only. Also, I change the display on my camera to see the histogram, which along with controlling the shutter speed and ISO, I'm able to get great results.
If you have manual Nikkor lenses, don't get rid of them, just get the adapter; its worth it!!!
