You can't (and do not have to) trigger the leaf shutter through the PC terminal.

The shutter that will be used is the one inside the Nikon.

The aperture will be manual stop down. 

I have such an adapter (three in fact: one for my - decommissoned - OM cameras, 
one for Nikon, and one for Canon), and it works. 
Though i rather use lenses made for the camera, including all the auto-features 
they offer.

As mentioned, the focal length of any lens you put on it remains what it is.
The FOV equivalent Richard provides is a comparison, and shows what focal 
length lens you would have to use on a 35 mm film camera (of full frame 35 mm 
DSLR) to get the same field of view. Do not interpret that as meaning that the 
60 mm an 80 mm lenses will anything other than 60 mm and 80 mm lenses on DX 
format as well.

  Lens focal length don't change when you change format, so a 60mm lens is 
still a 60mm lens. However, the DX sensor is 1.5x 
crop/multiplication-factor/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, so they are ~90mm and 
~120mm FOV respectively.

  You will probably need to trigger the leaf shutter by using the PC terminal.

would be there equivalent be on my Nikon with a DX senser.
