Fotodiox’s new ND Throttle allows you to adapt medium format lenses to Canon and Nikon DSLRs. It also includes a built-in variable ND filter, which allows you to use a variable ND filter on even wide-angle lenses.
The variable ND filter inside the ND Throttle adapter gives you a range from ND 2 to ND 1000. It is available for Pentax 645, Mamiya 645 and Hasselblad V lens systems. DSLR mounts include Canon EOS and Nikon F mount systems.

You can find other Fotodiox ND Throttle adapters here at B&H Photo. I expect to see these medium format options available there soon as well.
Fantastic product from fotodiox. Should I understand that the EF/S lens to Canon EOS or Nikon adaptor does not exist? If this is so then when will it be available?
Right. I don’t think there is one available for native EF/S lenses to Canon bodies. Same with Nikon.
Dear Eric,
This is insane with so many users of Canon and Nikon. Is this a marketing strategy?
Mahen.
I think the lack of Canon-to-Canon and Nikon-to-Nikon support probably has more to do with the complicated and expensive electronics to communicate aperture and focus commands between the native lenses than any sort of strategy. Using manual lenses requires none of that. There are other problems with regard to focusing range and the like that such an adapter would introduce to make it an expensive and probably cost-prohibitive undertaking.
