old manual lens on nikon?

[LENS]

Hi it seems a lot of canon or sony users are using some Carl zeiss lens..

so is there an adapter for nikon?

any of u using some classic old lens?

i recently got a Carl Zeiss lens 135mm but it is in Prakticar B-mount.. it seems no adapter for it..

i think only can use M42 lenses and some medium format lenses via adaptor-to-Nikon F mount

Carl Zeiss makes lenses for F-mount too, ZF lenses with Carl Zeiss T* coating. I think what you have is a Carl Zeiss Jena (from the Jena factory in what used to be East Germany) because Carl Zeiss does not make B-mount lenses.

yes my 135mm is Carl Zeiss Jena.. but after searching internet, B-mount seems kinda useless..

I think only Praktica uses it. I used to have a BX20 which I think is pretty useless.. The CZ Jena lenses gives nice colours and contrast but are not very sharp.
