Nikon to Canon adaptor

Hi!

I have a Canon T2i/550D and have just got it. All my friends use Nikon :S

Is there an adaptor so I can use Nikon lenses with working AF?

I am pretty sure that the answer is NO. The AF systems are very different. You can get adapters that confirm focus but I don't know of any that will allow autofocus to work.

I have one of those AF confirm adapters. I've read that they can fry your camera electronics as well. I've only used it a few times but without AF. I just wanted to use ZF lenses before ZE lenses were out.

While I have no idea if there is a fully functional solution for autofocus Nikon lenses on a Canon EOS body – and I doubt there is – I go the fully mechanical way with a (highly recommended) Novoflex adapter. I've already hacked my Nimar housing in order to use the zoom gear to pull focus on a 50mm f/1.8 Nikon lens. The iris is controlled via the on-off knob with a custom built bowden cable. A firmware hack (Magic Lantern) also helps with such a setup since it allows to remap functions, show a live histogram and focus peaking in in Live View mode and many more quite essential features.
