Thanks so much for the info Randall. I shall pin.

I wanted to know if the Sigma 16mm E-mount works on the Nikon Z50 or ZFC using the megadap adapter? Because currently there are no wide angle prime lens for aps-c nikon z system that is available.

@@rajin250 YES! It does. Megadap has a newer version out ETZ-21 which should be much better.

Any idea what kind of weight limit this adapter might be capable of? I'm interested in using my Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 with this adapter, but at 1.3kg I don't know. I've seen lenses of up to 950g been used with it. After the reviews I didn't want to trust the Techart adapter as many reviewers said it was rather flimsy.

Cheers PMI :)

there could be problems with rf to z since the diameter difference is much closer than e to z there having not even been a passive adapter out is a little worrying

RF mount can not be adapted because of depth of lens into the body NOT size of mount

Awesome. Does it meet your needs?

Thanks!

I've tried it. It works!

Am really tempted to get that lens. But now Tamron has entered the Z lens system, let's hope this lens is the first Tamron will make for nikon system.

I like the zeiss loxia lenses as well, but that 35-150 is also why I ordered one of these to try.

​@@normandy2501Hi, and how going this Tamron 35-150/2-2,8 ? Is working well o Nikon z? Is worth to spend over 1000£ for glass plus adapter? I really love this glass but have Nikon system.

And ? Anybody buy this Tamron 35-150 + adapter and mount in Nikon Z camera? I planing to buy but still not sure, is lot of money.

Awesome, I would love to hear how that works for you :)

I think thats the way to go as the sigma primes are really nice and great value for money and theres lots to pick from. The s line primes are quite large and pricey.

Yes, it’s the same for me what makes it so interesting.

You can get the tamron 100-400f4 on F mount and just use the FTZ adapter.

Agreed!

Yeah my faulty not setting WB all the same I think :)

I do think the lenses render colour a little differently but it is much more subtle than the colour shift due to white balance.

Hello .... kzfaq.info is this a legit message or has someone clone you / using your name - as possible dodge / clone / copy of possible victim/s Identities ?

There should be hope for Minolta AF lenses, although at the moment they can only release the shutter by setting the trap. There is mention of LA-EA and Monster adaptor for ETZ in the Chinese forum and Megadap replied "there is hope, they are trying".

You can't adapt Z lenses to Sony E bodies because of the Z mount focal length, but you can the other way around. That's why Z bodies can adapt any lens (a huge benefit in my opinion)

What was your experience? Am looking to get the adapter and Tamron 35-150mm.

The F lenses are designed to create a focused image at a certain distance (sorry, I forgot the english term for it). So if you are using them in a mirrorless (and narrower) camera, your adapter has had to be wider enough so that the focused image is projected on the sensor at the same distance of the lens design, no matter what adapter you use.

hmmm good question, what subjects do you mostly shoot?

We're on the same wavelength here. I'm thinking about that 200-600mm as a stopgap on the Megadap until the longer glass becomes available to the non-NPS peasants like myself in 2023. Here's what I'm wondering: Can you go Z-mount body with TC, Megadap, Sony 200-600mm? Or do you need a Sony TC to go Z-mount body, Megadap, Sony TC+200-600mm? Can you then add in DX mode? Matt (or anyone else) can you give us insight as to how the Nikon TCs play with the Megadap?

Mark Smith made a video about that lens, I don't know if you have already watched it.

@@Willymaze hi Willy, yes I did, and Mark’s experience mimics mine: it is quite an achievement for Megadap but one should not expect miracles on a first or second gen. Z body in AF-C. The AF acquisition and tracking are just so much better on the Z9 that adapted lenses will almost feel like native Z lenses. However, on my Z6, I would not use the Sony 200-600mm for BIF and find my DSLR/F-mount prime a much more reactive combo. Even with perched birds, I get more keepers from my AF-S 300mm prime and TC on the Z6 than with the adapted 200-600. It is a great solution if you only shoot slow moving subjects and other genres and own Sony lenses though.

and how about sigma 150-600 dg os sport sony mount ? with this adapter

Sony 14mm f1.8GM

@@nightscapeimages.richard Yes for astrophotography

@@marvinphillips382 Absolutely. It's a great lens.

Hi :) The G Master Glas on the Nikon. I would like to see that testet from Mad. And if the result is ok, I would go for it.

Sorry Joe, I actually think it is OK :) But that is not official, just a hunch, so I don't advise it until we get the official answer, I don't do it normally, but i think it is cool watching the lenses come on and off once it a while :)

@@MattIrwinPhotography no worries. I’ll just close my eyes when I see your hand moving in LOL.

LOL

Hi did you get the combination to work? I'm thinking about getting a Z8 for my Sony 200-600 for wildlife

@@MarkusGebhard My megadap was faulty. Once replaced, the 200-600 was working almost like a native lens on my z9. I'm not a fan of the sony 200-600 but I was impressed.

@@panepintosimone8140 what is it you don't like about the Sony 200-600mm? What lens did you get instead?

@@MarkusGebhard Even if I think is a good lens, doesn't give me any thrill. Found doesn't have lot of personality if you pass me the word. For example, my partner has the Sigma 150-600 sport, and I love more the tones and character. Myself, I moved to a high price and quality lens. The nikon 800 pf . Couldn't got better. But, yes, is another price league. But is just incredible

Did you return it under warranty?

Did you watch the second bunch of test after 10 mins ?

Lol.

Sir I wanted to say a deep heart felt thank you for your comment just now. Your comment was exceptional. Regards Matt

@@MattIrwinPhotography Hi Matt, a very unfortunate situation and I'm sorry you were dragged through the mud by someone just looking to create controversy, it was wholly underserved. Keep creating and inspiring, your work and expertise speak for themselves. I've followed you long enough to have a little insight into your psyche, please don't let this get to you and just chalk it up as a tactic, since that's exactly what it is.

@@mozzman Thanks Mozman, so much for some insight into this. I don't know this guy at all, never iteracted with him, and I don't think I have ever seen a video or a thumbnail of his. Seth Miranda pointed it out to me the original video and it was a massive shock when I saw the video title and thumbnail, because it is like, I did not even say that. And I am like, I don't think he checked if I had said anything else on this topic, like two months ago. The crazy thing is the 'clip' played 5 times, I know exactly what I am saying, and I said it. It appears to be the focus is on 35mm at the moment and who knows what is next, but that is where I think most of the market is today, and of course in the context of the Z8, which is what the video is about, the video is not even about APSC. And clearly if the Z8 is next (NikonRUMOURS) then APSC won't be next. This is such a 'beat up'. Basically everything is taken out of context, and then he just makes stuff up. And he has since doubled and tripled down, and he keeps going even with very fair comments like yours in his comments he keeps going and then now the live stream ... I am not sure he realises all the pain he is causing behind the scenes. And I literally don't know the guy at all. I don't know if you know but he also posted a link to the video on the PRO NIKON facebook page with 5.2K subscribers, and has been asked to remove it, and so far he has not. I am not a member, but a member has told me. I mean what the hell is going on with this guy? Sorry, but this is a really painful episode for me and the people around me. I'd love to catch up for a chat sometime. Cheers Matt

@@mozzman looks like your comment has been deleted ....

KZfaq bans any music clips, and yet they allow full length movies to be uploaded!

Yep we spent a lot. Hopefully we can get him back. 👍😀 ROFL.

I own Z ii series cameras and used to own 7iii/r4. I think the af is definitely better than 7iii.

Nope.... :^(

somebody might ....

there appears to be a manual version www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1460413-REG/fotodiox_pka_nikz_pro_pentax_k_af_to.html

I have a KtoZ manual adapter and it works. All the Pentax and Ricoh lenses I have are very old and were expensive at the time, my Z7 exposes every flaw in them but the results are kind of cool and “artsy.”

Awesome. I would love to see some pics. Can we see them somewhere?👍😀

Yes I think it is very useable for lots of situations :)

Rofl. Yes it is true.

@@MattIrwinPhotography I wish you a great weekend from sunny and very warm Libya!!

@@MattIrwinPhotography What I don't understand is why would anyone want to use Sony lenses on a Nikon camera? Doesn't Nikon have enough Z lenses to satisfy all/most needs? With my limited knowledge, Nikon lenses are generally better than Sony's.

Maybe. My relative love is much the same since my Walkman in 1985. 🎧
