Hello everybody.. I am a new convert to digital and to Canon ( from Nikon )

I still retain a certain fondness for my Nikkor 80-200D f/2.8 ED ( and of course for my few remaining $$ ) Is there any adaptor on the market that would let me mount this lens on the Canon 10d ( and for that matter an old Nikkor 20mm that's not even AF ) ?
any replies would be greatly appreciated and would cause me to drink an adequate glass of port to your continuing health...

All of the Nikkor F lenses pre-autofocus lenses will fit via an adapter. And many AF as well

I have the M42 and the Nikon adaptor. They are both well made and allow focussing on infinity. Of course you lose AF (if you had it) but all you need to do is set the camera on AV, focus wide open, stop down via the lens ring and shoot.
