I have a question, are lens adapters attached to the lens mount on the lens, or the camera body? Are they permanent or removal?
My scenario is, I'm mainly shooting stills with a D700, soon-to-be D3, and I have a 5D MkII as a VSLR. You must be wondering why the dual system, but I only got the 5D mkII solely for video, stills will be pretty seldom. I've seen professionals using dual systems, and my worry is the lens adapters, are they attached to lens or body?
If body, pretty straightforward, just buy one adapter, but my hunch is telling me it's lens mounted. Then in that case, is it perm or easily removed? In both case, one is to buy for as many lens that I intend to use with the body, or just one respectively.
Need help on this before I get the lens adapters, and any lens adapters to recommend other than 3rd party? I've read about some adapters not being compatible with the Nikon G lenses, but that is still a grey area for me, need help here too.
