Hey guys, I just got a T2i (mainly for photo, some video) and I still have my old Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF prime seen here

So I want to use this on my Canon, can someone please recommend me an adapter that will work, and work the best? Massive plus k!

Not that I know of.  I use this adapter almost everyday and it works great.
Phillip bloom recommended it in his amazon store...

You could take a risk and go with one of these...

I have no problems with the old ebay adapters. However I don't know about the nikon lens you are using, but is it a modern one without a manual aperture ring? If so, adapting it would be frustrating.

I've just been looking into this lately as I've been looking to get some old Nikon lenses for cheap. My friend uses this one, likes it and said he's never had any problems with it.

Also, I'll probably just get them on ebay, but if anyone has any old Nikon 50, 35, or 28mm primes they don't want/use and would sell, let me know.
