Ricoh objective mounted on a nikon D50 ?
Anything is possible. Which Ricoh lens, is it a K-mount, a
screw mount or other? If you find an adapter it will need an optical element (sort of a low-power tele-converter) to reach the correct back focus for the Nikon, you will need to use a hand held meter or base exposure on the histogram since the D50 does not support stop down metering and just flat out be inconvenient. Expect to pay around $100 for such an adapter. Unless the lens is "very special" (and I don't know of any "very special" lenses in Ricoh mounts) it's probably not worth the bother, on the other hand IF you had a whole kit of Ricoh lenses in a Pentax type mount you'd be better off with a Pentax dSLR, like the K100D. darkroommike Num&Ricos wrote: Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to mount a Ricoh obje"ctif on a Nikon D50 ??
