I am looking to get a Nikon AI mount lens (tokina 500mm Mirror lens) and need to adapt it to fit my Canon 5d2. I was also told to get a focus confirmation chip. What should I get, and any tips on how to do it?> I am a bit in the dark here.

Thank you.

Why thank you very much. I did this as well, but wondered if there were some that I should look into. And again, not to sure about the focus confirmation chip.

Are you sure the lens isn't a t-mount? Many mirror lenses are. If so, then adding a Nikon adapter would be stacking one adapter on top of another. Instead you can probably just get a Canon EF T-mount.

There are also AF confirming (chipped) t-mounts available on that auction site. (external link)

It is listed as a Nikon AI mount, so unless they have it up incorrectly I dont think it is a T mount
