Adapting Nikon lenses to GH2's?

I have a GH2, and my dad has a nice collection of Nikon lenses that I can use for a movie this summer. I just need help on which adapter I can buy that will fit all the lenses. I took an inventory of the lenses this morning and this is what I know so far:

Some lens info:
There are 6 lenses in total.
One is a Sigma "Super-Wide" 24mm f2.8 (incase that makes a difference)
The rest all said AF NIKKOR on them.
3 are zooms, 3 are primes.

I know the "AF" is probably a dead give away mount-wise, but I'm not a Nikon expert and didn't want to *** up and get the wrong adapter by mistake.

So to be on the safe side, can any Nikon lens experts give me a tip please?

There are several adapters available for Nikon F lenses on a Micro Four Thirds body. None give electronic communication between the lens and body. If all of your lenses have aperture rings, any of the adapters should work. However, if an is a G lens (no aperture ring), you can only use it if you select a compatible adapter that can mechanically control the aperture.
This one is supposed to work

BTW I have a Sigma 24mm f2.8. The coatings on that oldie are not great, and it can have lens flair in some conditions, but it is surprisingly sharp nearly wide open.

I think you will find the absence of metering and autofocusing to be quite a nuisance. You would be happier using a Panasonic Micro Four Thirds kit lens.
