I got this adaptor to adapt my old MF nikon lenses onto my Fuji x-s10. I got the adaptor that is for "g" lenses (it has an aperture ring) since I also own Nikon g lenses. There was some question of whether it would work with MF lenses or not. The answer is YES!
To use it with MF lenses, you have two options for controlling the aperture. Option 1) set the adaptor aperture ring to it's widest setting, and use your lens aperture ring to control your aperture. Option 2) set your lens aperture to it's smallest setting (f/22 or f/32), and use the adaptor aperture ring to adjust your aperture. NOTE: option 1 is probably the best option in most situations for reasons too complicated to get into here.
The fit of the adaptor is perfect. It is tight, both on the camera and at the lens, however I don't think it is too tight. There is extremely minimal wobble. I have to torque on the lens to feel it shake.
The adaptor quality seems very good. The aperture ring turns smoothly with nicely dampened clicks. The box it came in is a nice touch.
I'm very happy with the purchase.

So many adapters to choose -- I landed on this one because I liked the design. It was a great choice! Nice, heavy metal, attaches to camera and lenses smoothly. I got the newer "G" version to cover all bases, but if you have non-G lenses with aperture rings you can get the AI/F mount, which is $10 less... but doesn't look as cool :-) Great way to extend legacy lenses to new cameras. I'm going to get another for my Canon FD lenses. Thumbs up!

Really well made converter. K&F just makes good stuff. It’s opened up a whole world of older manual focus lens for my mirrorless.

I have 5 canon FD lenses: Kalimar 28mm wide angle, Canon 50mm, Vivitar 55mm macro, Tokina 70-210mm zoom and a Vivitar 400mm telephoto.
At the time of this writing I have purchased 2 Fotodiox FD-NIKON adapters, used in all the lenses above and I really happy with them. I am buying a third one soon.
Is it worth? It depends:
If you have a couple of old FD lens, the adapter is a small price to pay to put your lenses back in use, but if you have to buy the lenses and the adapter, you might check the price of a used Nikon lens first.
These lenses are great for video as they have aperture rings and they create a creamy look to your footage.
You will lose some light (around 0.6 stop) and there is also a crop factor to consider (1.26). If you are using on a D7000 (1.5 crop factor) your 50mm will become closer to a 100mm.

For the price it’s a great product, the clicker is a little soft but it clicks really well, the lens fit without any problem and their also fits in the body really well, wonderful product.
