The mount throat diameter can be another issue, and is the reason Sony Alpha mount is not as adaptable as Canon EOS. This acts like macro extension tubes, and limits the far focusing capability. This distance is how far the lens is held from the image plane, and needs to be maintained if the lens is to focus to infinity, as designed.

Nikon F has one of the thickest registration distances of any SLR mount. Yes, you can use vintage/film Nikon F-mount (AI and later) lenses on a Nikon D3200, but you probably don't want to use adapters to use other mounts. Entry level cameras like the D3200 can't do that with non-CPU lenses and have to be operated fully manual, as they can't determine that a lens is put on without the CPU.

Higher end cameras, like the Nikon D800 are able to measure the exposure and so work at least in aperture priority mode, setting the shutter speed automatically, addtional to the manual mode. Old lenses had no auto-focus, and no transmitting of exposure settings, like aperture. If you adapt a old lens to your camera, you will most likely end up with complete manual control of your exposure and focus. Second aspect to think about, is the built in electronics. However, as this adds another glass element ( and most adapters are too cheap that they could possibly be of higher quality glass), there is a high propability that this affects image quality negatively.

That built in corrective lens tries to make up for the difference in flange distance. There are adapters with a corrective lens built in, like this M42-to- Nikon F-Mount adapter from Kipon. That said, there is a workaround, when adapting lenses with a small flange focal distance on a camera with a larger one: If the diameter of the mount of the lens is larger than the diameter of the camera mount, the adapter has to be put entirely in front of the camera, adding some extra flange focal space. Like mentioned, if you look at the linked table, don't forget, that an adapter adds some extra millimeters space.ДЄnother thing to look out for is the mount diameter. In this case, the only thing you could probably do with that combination, is macro photography. That means that the lens is at least 17.7mm too short (not counted the addtional space that a adapter adds). The lens is made for a flange distance of 28.80mm, where the D3200 sports 46.50mm.

Another one: You have a old Leica M39 lens, that you want to put on your D3200.

This means that you need an adapter that adds additional 28.5mm between lens and sensor. The Canon EF-M-mount has a distance of only 18mm. No problem at all! The Nikon lens is made for a flange focal distance of 46.50 mm.

Say you want to put a Nikon F-Mount lens on to your Canon EOS M.

To be able to focus to infinity, the adapted lens has to have the same flange focal distance as the mount dictates. In order to achieve infinit focus, this distance is essential.

This is the distance from the mounting flange (the metal ring on the camera and the rear of the lens) to the film plane. In fact, there are two things that have to be considered.ДЇirst and most important aspect is probably the flange focal distance. What matteres is not the manufacturer of a lens, but its lens mount.
