So basically I have had the new Nikon zoom lens for 2 years now. I want a zoom for my Canon on video, so i figured I'll just get an adapter. That being said is there an adapter someone would like to recommend and any other details to know. Thanks NS, Also I know this is most likely a repost but the Search Bar is shit.

does your lens have an aperture ring on it?

If your lens has an aperture ring, yes there are cheaper ones. If it doesn't (which I'm assuming) then the adapter is more expensive because it has to be able to control the aperture. For such a cheap lens, it's probably worth it to just buy the Canon version. I'd buy an adapter if I had multiple lenses I could use with it, not just one $170 lens.

8$ and gets the job done just as good. I have two of those and they work perfectly. No need to waste money on something like this.

OP has a lens without a manual aperture ring... OP, it's only a $170 lens, just sell it and buy the canon version.
