    That's too bad John. Since they don't make a Canon to Nikon lens converter I guess you are out of luck.

    You could always leave the Dark Side and come over to the Canon world.;)

    I've been scouring the net looking for a converter to see if I can attach it to my 2.0 megapixel Canon Powershot. No luck yet.

    Just think of the closeups you can take of the dancers at your club. The phrase "I can see every pimple on her ass" takes on a whole new meaning.

    But with the Canon Extender EF 2x , you can get the Canon to 2400/11 which is .... okay, too.

    Oh...you were looking for focal length...not size and weight....

    In that case...THIS is your lens: (note the camera body attached on the far right)

    If your checkbook is big enough, Nikon and Canon would be more than happy to build most anything you want.

    Nice Shack! I wouldn't have noticed the camera mounted if you didn't say anything.
