It works, but it fits quite loosely and the lenses wobble a bit. for lenses with a stop-down pin you might have to screw the lens on before mounting it to the camera; otherwise the pin will hit the aperture lever on the body. With a 50mm f/1. 8 this will focus up to about four feet.

This thing doesn’t cost much and my expectations were low. But this thing is pretty good. You won’t confuse it for a Nikon branded product, but the finish is nice and it works pretty good. I added an adapter ring to mount a Leica-threaded lens to my Nikon Bellows and it works very well. Anything better will cost a lot more money.
