Lens adapter question.

[star]

 Can I adapt a Canon EF70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM ...and a Nikon D40X body? If so, what adapter?

Thanks, Tony

No. You can adapt Nikon lenses to Canon but not Canon to Nikon because of the distance between the lens mount & sensor.

Thank you for the reply cicopo, would you please recommend a Canon body for this lens?

To do that I recommend that you start a new thread which tells us what types of photography you are interested in & how much you know about the basic rules of photography. Canon has a pretty deep line up of bodies & some are aimed at action while others favor landscape or low light etc.

Adapters are usually never a good idea.

How did you wind up with a  Canon EF70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM lens and a Nikon body?  This is a very good (the best) and very expensive lens.

cicopo, she would use this lens for a wide variety of uses. Trade Shows indoor as well as outdoor. I'be seen this lens a few times and was truly impressed...so I bought it for her thinking lens were " universal" in there fitment ? Please keep in mind my knowledge of cameras is as follows...my Note 4 has an awesome 16 Meg camera, best I've ever had. See where I'm coming from... 😉

biggs, I thought lens & bodies were buddies, Nikon and Canon got along fabulously, so last night I grabbed a D70 body to put this to rest, now I'll hunt for a short range lens...there's a leaning curve here for sure.

A 70D and that lens will work fine.
