I need some advice: I just won an auction for a Zeiss Jena Sonnar 180/f2.8 MC (P6-mount) on eBay for use on my D7000 (pic related, from the listing).
I am shopping for P6-Nikon F mount adapters right now, but I'm having a couple of points I want advice on:
- Is a western brand an absolute requirement for getting a decent quality adapter? (I doubt it, and actually read some bad stuff about the Fotodiox adapters having either play or getting stuck to bodies/camera's)
- If "no" to the previous point, is "K&F Concepts" good quality for China-stuff? (it has to be sturdy enough for a heavy Zeiss Sonnar of about 1 kg)
- After getting a adapter, how do I go about reducing internal flare caused by using a larger format lens than the sensor? I read about using (rear) baffles for fixing this, but where the hell can I find baffles as aftermarket parts or instructions on creating one myself? I haven't been able to find either on the internet until now, I must be looking in the wrong places.
Also: Yes, a medium format lens on a DX body, I know about the huge crop factor/dimished field-of-view using it this way will cause, but it remains perfectly usable for my intended purposes (astrophotography) with these effects
