This won't work. Most Nikon lenses use stone age technology - motors in the body driving the lenses through a screwdriver blade. You'll have to get a powerful motor in that 1mm of space :) Or... you could conceive of a fatter adapter with an AF-drive motor and some sort of teleconverter to make up for the added extension. You'll probably lose infinity focus. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
