So that sunk cost in tack-sharp, excellent lenses heavily influences my bias/inertia (I suppose there are brand-to-brand lens adapters). As the highlighted passage suggests, if you don't have significant $ in Nikon lenses, flash, etc. then you can cast your net a bit wider.
I started using Canon cameras when Canon switched to digital. Before that I used a Nikon F3. With my Canon cameras I sometimes use some of the Nikon lenses I had, including a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4. You can buy a relatively cheap PhotoDiox adapter with a Canon mount to Nikon or any other manual lens.

Buy one at Costco or Sams Club. You get a liberal 90 day return policy, plenty of time to decide if you like it or not.
