Check out the FlexiSpot C7 ergonomic chair at bit.ly/4eLKFfQ and use my code ''24BFC7'' to get $50 off on the C7 ergonomic chair

I would never have guessed that Sony would let anyone use their autofocus protocol in an adapter like this… which makes me wonder if it is reverse engineered?

[@stkuj]

Sony already opens support for 3rd party lens, I don't think this is any different.

[@coder543]

@stkuj the difference is that this gives people less of a reason to buy Sony’s cameras, whereas opening third party lens support on E mount helped Sony sell more cameras.

Thanks for the great review. Very informative. I'm in the same process of ditching DSLR adapters because the bulk, mostly with small portrait lenses. The DSLR adapters are worth for long telephoto lenses, because the few centimeters more are not a big concern, but today we have good modern relatively cheap alternatives in Sony mount. A pair of questions: - Did you tried APSC Sony lenses on full frame Nikon body? It will force the crop or gives you the option to use FX or DX crop? - Do you know something about the Boryoza adapter? To use Fuji X lenses on Nikon Z bodies. - I hope Megadap takes the idea from Boryoza and make one Fuji to Nikon adapter, and even one from Canon EF-M to Nikon Z, the Canon AF firmware is known, it could be like the EF to Z.

Maybe a color science comparison.🤔🤔🤔

I use multiple systems and have been happily using the zeiss 55 1.8 and 25 2 on a zfc with the pro adapter for stills. I do have some concerns with the customer service from megadap as I had some issues and reached out to them and never got any responses.

What a review again! 😃

The minimal difference in sharpness between the E and Z version could also be a result of differences in sensor filter thickness. I would not expect a company like Viltrox to compensate for that for each mount. But most likely it is just sample variation, like you said. I have the Sigma EF adapter for L-Mount for a bunch of Zeiss lenses and to me the adapter is just part of the camera now instead of part of the lenses. But that changes of course if you have lenses for different mounts in use at the same time. (I do have that problem on the Z system myself.) Great video as always. It seems like this adapter is the quickest and easiest way to dramatically increase the amount of options for Z cameras, especially looking at manual options like the Voigtländers as well.

Great review, i am curious about this one. Seems a lot practical common lens solution than the mc 11. One way to invest in lenses in future is to have both nikon and Sony bodies and buy the sony equipment for stills and action lens for either nikon or sony. This way lenses like 135mm and below could all be for sony Mount and hr higher ones, as per the best lens available.

[@estherdeborah638]

The two ETZ21 adapters have similar performance but Tamron lenses cannot be mounted onto the old adapter

[@DustinAbbottTWI]

Correct...and there are a few other redesigns, too, including the firmware update process and the lens release button.

[@jtes1442]

Nikon does have a Native 50 1.4 for the Z mount.

[@DustinAbbottTWI]

Yes, I just reviewed it. But it is nothing like the Sony G-Master in quality, features, or performance.

[@saibhargavamanda1062]

U mean to say GM is faster than 50 1.4 on Z8 but slower than GM on the sony?

[@DustinAbbottTWI]

The GM is as fast a focusing 50mm lens as I've ever seen, period. What's exceptional here is that it can focus faster than the native mount Nikkor 50mm F1.4.

[@saibhargavamanda1062]

There isnt any equalent of 1.4GMs in nikon . thats. A bigg problem in nikon and why im here watching
