Non-Nikon bodies that use Nikon lenses?

[attack_donut]

I know the Fuji finepix S1-S5 Pros can use modern Nikon lenses (or at least that's what I've read) are there any other non-nikon cameras that can take nikon lenses?

Depends what you mean...


In the digital world, Kodak made a couple of DSLRs that took Nikon lenses, as well as the Fjis. Aside from that, I can't think of any DSLR, or any AF SLR for that matter.


The Kiev 19 took Nikon-mount manual focus lenses. The Nikon FM20 and FE20 weren't Nikons (but Cosinas), so they could count, too. Alternatively, you can mount 'em on a Canon EOS with an adaptor.

You mean the FM10 and FE10.

You're quite right, I do. Apologies for any confusion.

There's also that first Canon (or Kwanon as they were then) rangefinder, before they developed their own range of lenses.

And this recent launch of course.

Wasn't that Braun all manual 35mm film SLR reviewed in AP last year available in Nikon F mount as one of the options, along with Pentax K and Contax?

And the Hulcher, IIRC.

Ah, I was thinking the there were more than just the Fuji. Like a minolta, or the sonys, epsons, things like that.

Must be off my meds again

There is also the Panasonic G1 which can use both SLR and rangefinder Nikon lenses provided the lens can be manually operated.

Yes but that's with an adapter. The OP means cameras with a native Nikon F mount.
