The adapter is incredibly thin, which it would have to be given the mere 2mm difference between Nikon Z mount (16mm) and Sony E mount (18mm). That’s understandably enticing to non-Sony shooters. So, while both Canon and the L-mount alliance struggle to release a critical mass of lenses native to their own lens mount, Sony is cruising along with literally hundreds of first- and third-party options. Sony was set on the mirrorless world early on, releasing mirrorless body after body while competitors like Canon doubled down on their existing DSLR business. The main reason Nikon shooters should take note of this adapter is that it makes the incredible variety of E-mount mirrorless lenses available to them. Variety is the spice of (film-making) life Even better, it retails for a rock bottom $249 USD, which makes it one of the more affordable adapters out there. That’s why Megadap, a Chinese company with a focus (so far) on Nikon’s Z mount, has produced an E mount lens to Z mount camera adapter, purporting to preserve full control options for the lens and, more impressive, the full autofocus fidelity you expect from the lens and/or camera body. But you want to actually control those lenses with the camera body? Most of the time, you’re out of luck. Want an adapter that lets you put an ARRI Signature Prime on your tiny Sigma FP? Also done. Want an adapter from some obscure old Fuji mount to an E-mount body? Done. With more international third parties looking to the camera business for manufacturing growth, adapters have become fairly common. A new lens mount adapter from Megadap will be the first Sony E to Nikon Z adapter to support both full frame and APS-C Nikon Z-mount camera bodies, with full electronic lens control and autofocus performance.
