Ok that's it. Nikon Zf ordered. I'm gonna grab the Techart and a Voigtlander. this looks like so much fun.

@FabriceLeblus-jf1xd

I have it...very disappointing..it works 50% of time...another 50% missed focus or system hang and stop working..

@brusselssprout1

Thanks for this video. A week late for me as I just swapped 4 m-mount lenses for Voigtlander Z-mount equivalents. I pondered about the Techart adapter for a few months but decided against the investment for 5 reasons: 1. The adapter contradicts the effect of the floating elements that deal with optical corrections for "close" focus on some of the best m lenses (35 FLE, 50 asph, 75 asph, Zeiss 35 f/1.4, etc, etc) ; 2. User reports highlight a substantial rate of failure - seems like the mtbf for the adapter is counted in months and the device is very sensitive to wear and tear; 3. User reports often highlight focus failure even when it all seems ok in the viewfinder - the jittering motor might explain that; 4. Techart have zero customer service capability in Europe - basically if you have an issue you are screwed; 5. I do not trust Techart's ability to maintain firmware as Nikon fiddles with AF features.

The aesthetics of Leica glass, esp with the lens hood, on the Zf alone makes this worth the 400, and that's before the full capabilities of the autofocus combined with the quality of the glass. Honestly if anything it kind of looks like a chunkier Leica in some angles lol

I just got my Nikon ZF camera with Voigtlander 15mm and 35mm 1.4 Nokton Classic lenses adapted via TZM02. Initially, I faced issues with autofocus, especially in low light, as it would not stop hunting. After changing the settings to 3D AF mode and AFC, the AI in the ZF now manages to autofocus with ease, and it works like a charm. I really enjoy this setup, and it opens up the possibility for all M Mount lenses to have autofocus capabilities, which is incredibly amazing.

@noenken День назад

One thing to keep in mind is that lenses with floating elements will suffer a bit from not moving those elements because the focussing is now done externally. Good video! :)

@photomorti

Oh my god this is amazing! And is this the sexiest looking combo ever??? It might be. Only thing i dont like about the ZF is the vlog style lcd screen i wish it had a normal flippy screen like a fuji XT3 for example

@jamestulk4169

I have used Leica lenses on my Fuji XPro2 with the Fuji M adaptor. Manual focus of course. With this setup, I would typically open the aperture to the max to make focusing more accurate (i.e. reduce DoF to make it more ovious when the focus wasn't dead on.) This made handling a bit awkward as I would then have to move the aperture back to where I wanted it exposure-wise befor pushing the button. My question is: With the Techart adaptor, does focusing remain accurate with the lens set at (say) f/8? Or would you recommend some aperture changing to get the best results? (Lenses designed for SLRs, DSLRs etc. wouldn't have this issue as they normally sit at their max aperture, only stopping down at the instant the picutre is being taken.)

@sauzefilms

I’ll just wait a decade until the Zf goes down in price lmao

@MarsViolet

What does using that thing do to battery life?

@mlwadester87

Another great video, Benj. Keep rocking it, man.

@KillerTacos54

Great video as always Benj!

@trueblack6760

I have Zf and good small M lenses, so I'll purchase this adapter asap.

@michaelneumann1865

Been using the tech art autofocus adapters on my Sony’s from the day it came out. First and second version. Both great. Love the look from Leica, Zeiss and Voigtlander lenses on full frame. Just great. Great job Benj!!!

@lensman5762

I use my Leica M lenses on my Olympus EM1 MkII. They work so well, even wide open particularly the 75 F2 Apo Summicron. Pure magic.

@christopherbgriffith

It’s very cool that this exists. I recently got the Megadap EF to Z adapter for using my Canon DSLR lenses on my Zf. It’s so great to be able to use so many classic lenses I shoot film with on my Zf with great AF (and full metadata). So fun.
