Re: adapted Sigma 100-400mm

Could you please share with the forum the specific the Make and Model:
1. Sigma 100-400
2. Adapter

Certainly. I used the following:

  • Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Contemporary (Nikon mount)
  • Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter - Nikon F Mount G-Type D/SLR Lens to Samsung NX Mount Mirrorless Camera Body (NKG-NX-P)
  • Samsung NX-M Mount Adapter (ED-MA4NXM)

The Fotodiox adapter can only change aperture on lenses with mechanical aperture coupling. As the Sigma 100-400mm is an E-type lens (aperture is set electronically), I opted to simply use it wide open. To set aperture, lens can be attached to a supported Nikon body, then switch to Live View, with Aperture Priority.
