Accurate Aperture reading with Nikon lenses on EF mounts

[iwander]

I'm getting a little frustrated when using my sigma 18-35 on my ursa EF mount. Back with the bmpcc Metabones adapter I was able to accurately read which aperture I was on because of the way the speedbooster was built. However now I'm using a Fotodiox adapter and when I stop up or down it's a clickless transition when stopping up or down. The markings on the adapter are unreliable and I am relying on False Color (which isn't necessarily the worst thing) but I would like to be able to set my aperture at 2.8 and know for certain it's at 2.8.


1)Is there any adapter that gives you accurate aperture marks when using a Nikon lens on an EF mount?
2)I'm thinking of selling my nikon sigma 18-35 for and replacing it with a canon sigma 18-35. Besides not having manual control over the aperture ring, what drawbacks (if any) would I experience from switching over from the nikon version to the canon version?

Option one: Count the number of clicks. You could look up the f stops it will hit. (For example 2 clicks = 2.8) Option 2: Since I couldn't find a smart adapter for Nikon G to EF sadly I would sell the lens if the Ursa Mini EF is your long term camera. There's nothing worse than slowing down production every time you change a lens. Not to mention the color and depth of field inaccuracies you could run into... This is the reason I only buy Nikon lenses that have manual aperture rings. There's nothing wrong with swapping and upgrading lenses from time to time.

If there Ursa EF is your main camera and you won't be using the sigma on any other camera then 100% go with native EF.
