Has anyone adapted a Nikon 180mm f/2.8 lens of any vintage to Sony E? I would be most interested in adapting the current Nikon model, since I don’t own one yet.

This is a great lens that weighs less and is smaller tha than a 70-200 f/4 zoom. Nobody by Nikon offers it.

Yes, I want a 2.8 prime. I am only aware of the Nikon. Once upon a time Olympus offered a 180 f/2.8 for their film SLR system (OM-3, OM-4). Are there any others I should know about. Autofocus is not that important to me, but I do need full functionality with the camera's meter.

There are a several other 180mm lenses, from the older manual-focus Soligor f3.5, Auto Miranda f3.5, Super Multi-Coated Takumar f2.8,  Zoomatar f1.3(!!!), Super Yashinon-R f3.5, Sonnar f2.8, etc., to the highly rated Tamron f3.5 -- that came in manual-focus and auto-focus versions (Not cheap).

As to FULL functionality with your camera meter, that will depend on the lens and what camera you have -- and how you define "full".

I'm not familiar with the Nikon, but I think Canon has/had one as well.

      Sony AII rattles six frames

      By winnie_beex · Posted

      hello and please forgive me if I posted in the wrong place  literally this is what happened ; yesterday I shot a few frames with my beloved Super Tak 50mm 8 elements , all fine & dandy  about four hours ago I mounted the autofocus for M mount , the first version from Tech-Art ( or Art-Tech ? )  slapped on a Leica 90mm f4 and to my utter disbelief , being set on A priority , single shot auto ISO , as it was for a very long time , each and every time I pressed the shutter button it rattled six (?) frames , and the LCD informed me that < processing >  the result was one frame , but I couldn't tell if it is HDR or not , being set on JPEG accidentally  and yes , I did read TFM , but , alas , to no avail  for years I used on my two Sony cameras only manual lenses , 'coz I've got only two autofocus ,  please help !   some time ago I solved the eternal problem with batteries ; I nicked my daughter's "bank" shoved in camera a dummy battery , and needs recharging once in two months , moderate use  got a wide(ish) neoprene strap , ziplocked twice the bank & Bob's your uncle maybe someone will find this one useful    impossible to count , thanks

      RSV video file

      By Starman99 · Posted

      I didn't properly stop a video before pulling out the card, after recording 13GB of video. I'm trying to recover the RSV file that was saved to my CFExpress card. I know that there are services that charge $50-$75 to recover the file, but is there a free service that I can use? Thanks in advance.

      Well I totally agree with your point, but apparently OP found the 18-110 to be manageable for this use case 😅
