Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 13, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 13, 2020 Tomorrow me Fringer EF-NZ adapter arrives from Amazon UK. Going to give it a good test with my EF glass. Previously.... Techart E-mount adapter for Nikon showed a lot of promise, however I grew to dislike it. Patchy reliability, little in the way of firmware updates or support, emails to Techart ignored, and performance / compatibility not bullet proof enough. The adapter promised to be stackable, with EF to E mount adapters, and Techart's own Leica M autofocus racking adapter too, but in the end didn't stack with anything and still doesn't. I ended up taping up the contacts and using it as a dumb adapter, with a C-mount to E-mount adapter on there making Super 35mm video possible with c-mount lenses longer than 50mm. Lovely jubbley. So I'd approach the Techart EF -> Z mount adapter with caution and try the Fringer version instead. I have the Fringer EF autofocus adapter for Fuji X mount and it is by far and away the fastest and most reliable for AF. Kipon not bad either but the Fringer beats it for AF. https://www.fringeradapter.com/canon-ef-to-nikon-z Looks good on the Z6 And here is the Techart on the Z50 but doesn't tell us anything about AF - there is no racking or subject tracking in the video just locked down focus The Techart adapter is much cheaper than the Fringer but there is probably a reason for that https://techartpro.com/?product=techart-canon-ef-nikon-z-autofocus-adapter-tzc-01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted January 13, 2020 Super Members Share Posted January 13, 2020 Really weird about the Techart E to Z not being stackable with their M to E AF adapter. Don't really understand why they just haven't made a dedicated Z mount version of that adapter anyway but maybe thats the plan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 13, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted January 13, 2020 Why sell us 1 adapter when they can sell us 3 I think that probably went through their heads. Hopefully AF is going to actually be reliable on the Fringer EF. I feel the Z6 has it in it to do it... somewhere... Just needs the right firmware Zeng 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
