Nikon lenses Autofocus on Micro Four Thirds cameras? Viltrox NF-M1 

Did he just put the 45mm f1.2 to the table on the rear end without a lens cap?

Hey Great Review I was waiting for some adapter like these.. i have a question.. can you control the focus of the lens through a gimbal if you connect the camera to the gimbal?

Great review. Is there an adapter that will accommodate CAF as well?

Hi. Is autofocus working in movie or just when you taking a photo?

Would it be a NF-M2 version coming (like those for canon EF)?

I cant get this to auto focus in movie mode on any of the settings for 4k/24p only on 60P or 1080...any ideas?

Finally a Nikon Adapter for MFT with electronic connections. Now Viltrox must make one with Speebooster and then it will be amazing

Can I add my congratulations for an excellent and wide-ranging review! (Just a shame the subtitles weren't as good as your actual commentary!) Have you tried this adapter with back button focusing? If not, is there any reason why it should not work?

Hey Richard. Great video. I a have a Viltrox NF-M43 manual speedbooster and I am planning to use it with Sigma 10-20mm lens. May I ask if out of camera image (unedited) will have much of the barrel distortion?

Does image stabilization from lens can work on this

Oh this is cool!!! Thanks for the review Richard! Commenting before I even watch the video LOL

That is the quality content I think we don't deserve a content creator like him

I bought the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K yesterday. I purchased the Viltrox adaptor and all fits well and the image on my old Nikkor glass looks great. Looking forward to finally using my Nikkor 20mm F2.0 now. But I was wondering if turning the aperture on the lenses is doing anything? Being new to mirrorless videography, I'm wondering how you're able to control the aperture of the manual lenses on the BMPCC4K? Or are these lenses always fully open and the exposure is compensated with the camera? Thanks!

Hello Richard ! Is there any new version now for this adapter? Did you try this on Telephoto lenses? Thank you

Thanks for this. Can you tell me if this adapter will work with Nikon 500mm PF , 300mm PF as those lenses would be great, they are sharp and compact. thanks in advance.

Hi, any idea why my viltrox adapter doesn't work with any autofocus in video mode on GH4? It shows the focus as manual focus, no matter what I do, and no matter which lens I place 😢😢

Dear Richard Does it work with the olympus E-M10 first generation (not mark II or mark III) ? Thanks

I have my eye on a Blackmagic Cinema 4K. I also come from an old history with my manual focus Nikkor lenses. I was looking at this adaptor, and this video answered ALL of my questions, thank you! - Liked/Subscribed

Hi Richard! Thanks for this very informative review.

Well done and thank you Richard! I’ve not seen much about this lens adapter, but wondering what your experience was like with dx lenses - thinking this adapter would be neat with the 18-200mm lens or even the bulkier 18-300mm (particularly interned if there is significant vignetting)

Richard, I have a Nikon 55mm F.1.2. Will it work with this adaptor in aperture priority mode? Is the adaptor able to sense what the aperture setting is?

Great review

It seem to work well enough for a lot of usage. Thanks for the review

Great review! May I ask, does the autofocus work with AF-D lenses?

I have the Canon EF version and it works great, the "L" lenses perform amazingly well on the OMDs.

Your channel is highly informative. I am recommending your channel to my friends.

Very informative video. Thank you for making this simple and relaxing to watch unlike others who speak so fast you would think there was a T-34 Tank running after them. Great post!

Wow, I've been waiting for this thing for a year. Metabones is too high price for me. 😂😂😂

Does it also recognize the aperture?

Hi Richard. Excellent video as usual with plenty of good information. I came upon this video because I'm considering to buy the Viltrox EF to MFT adapter along with a Tamron lens (EF mount) for my G9. I reckon the appeal of such adapters is to leverage existing ownership of lenses. In my case, I'm looking for a 3rd party lens solution (in this instance, Tamron) where MFT lenses fall short. I have a question and wonder if you might know the answer. As I understand it, lens geometric distortion (GD) is corrected by the Lumix camera (and perhaps augmented by the lens). For JPG and recorded video, GD correction has been applied. I shoot photos in RAW, so I do the GD correction in post editing software. For an adapted lens scenario, such as Viltrox + Tamron, how is GD correction handled for recorded video? Knowledge about focal length and other lens characteristics are needed for GD correction. Is it handled by the Viltrox firmware? Is it handled correctly when changing focal length of a zoom lens during video recording? For a completely native lens scenario, I take for granted it's all handled correctly for video recording. Now that I'm considering an adapted lens situation, it especially makes me wonder. Thanks for any knowledge you can provide.

I am looking for a version of this with a speed booster-do you know of one? I keep trying to find them but no go, it’s bad

I've recently bought a Viltrox nf-m1 adapter for my Nikon lenses to use with my MFT cameras. But the moment I attach my Af Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 D lens to it, the camera (both Olympus and Panasonic bodies) fails to show the aperture value, instead showing f/0.0 and also no matter how much I change the aperture through the aperture ring in Manual mode, the exposure does not vary at all in the camera!! Does it mean that the camera is treating the lens as wide open! or am I doing something wrong? I knew before it is MF, but this is too much!!

Thanks for a very good review!

Will this work with the Nikon E lenses? Like the 24-70 VR?

Hi Richard, Great review, I have a GH5 and have been using my Sigma 18-35mm, 1.8 DC 72 lens with the Viltrox NF-M43X mount (manual) will the Viltrox NF-M1 allow me to use the autofocus feature mounted to this Sigma lens? If you think it will, I'll buy it! Cheers John

Great review! Thanks! Viltrox produces really good stuff as far as I am concerned. Also using their 0.71x focal reducer Nikon F to MFT and am very happy with it. Any chance you could test this on an Olympus Body with PDAF? I think that's were such a solution could really shine!

*Does this work with the GH5 & Sigma lenses for autofocus?*

what are the autofocus settings and release modes on this video?

Hi, I have a question. I have an analog lens for Nikon and I have a micro 4/3 Mirrorles (LUMIX G7) camera. Is this adapter suitable for my old lens? Greetings from Mexico :')

Thanks, good and very explicit review. For my lens and/or my bodies, however, no luck: Nikon AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR with Olympus E-M1.2, Olympus Pen-F, and (just to see if it was an Olympus-Panasonic thing) the Panasonic GM5 (only Pana I had). Body set on AF-S. Viltrox in A position: black screen. No lens info on screen. Panasonic: "lens transmission failure." Viltrox in M position: finder shows a picture, but not the correct lens info. No reaction to focus ring regardless of lens witch position. I couldn't find any firmware update on the Viltrox website.

Right now there is a black Friday deal on amazon and Aliexpress. Very good offer, but it does not fit with the GH5 smallrig cage, right?

One more question....are you aware of an adaptor that reverses this one? I’m looking to use my M43 lens on my Nikon D810. Are there “M43 Len to Nikon f mount camera” adaptors? I can’t find any!!

It is a pity the Viltrox adapter cannot be mounted on the new OM-1, the m/f button protrudes just enough to prevent this. It worked just fine on the EM-1 but sadly not on the newest camera

Does this work on the older Nikon AF D lenses?

hi! can I use it to connect my sigma 18 35 mm nikon on the gh5?

Thanks for a very complete review! However, it is not clear to me if with AI and AIS objectives the adapter will automatically keep the diaphragm fully open during focusing and close it to the preset value during exposure. This should be technically possible, I think, as the adapter has the motor, and would make AI and AIS objectives a lot easier to focus in everyday use. (At least in principle, even shutter priority auto-exposure could be supported with these objectives.)

Hi Richard, When mounting a ff lens on a m43 body, only the field of view is reduced, not the depth of field, right ? Ex: 50mm becomes 100mm. So, if i want to have the same field of view and depth of field when shooting a ff lens on a m43 camera body, i can just take a few steps back until i get the same frame. My concern is that the depth of field is also reduced due to crop factor, and i cannot get the same background blur, even though i already took a few steps back to get the same frame. Ex: f1.2 becomes f2.4. Please help to advise. Thanks very much.

I like Nikon AF-D lenses, because they are excellent for manual focus on other mounts. Trying to get adapted lenses to autofocus on non-native mounts has too many limitations for my liking.

I would guess that Panasonic bodies have the ability to assign focus magnify and focus peaking to a button with non electronic lens so you can still use those features?

Great video Richard, thanks! Would you know if a Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 G2 works with the adapter?

Hi everybody,I bought this adapter last week and try it with sigma18-35,sigma 10-20 f 3.5,nikon 55-200 f 4-5.6,nikon 200-500 f5.6,yongnuo 100mm f 2.0.All those lenses work nice.I would like to buy tokina 14-20 f2,has enyone tried this lens with that adapter?Thanks you and thanks to you Richard to making me discover this adapter.

Lens was forgotten to gain over IL and crop factor. Awaiting the Metabones real competitor!

Ok, i heard that (about the aperture), fingers crossed....

Hi Richard, Will it fit with my GH5S smallrig cage? I am worried about this.

Do you also get aperture? Does it work with fully electronic lenses WITHOUT an aperture ring?

are you able to do a review of the speed booster adapter canon to nikon

Everyone uploading videos about micro four thirds camera with Nikon lenses... but is there any option to use Nikon apsc camera with M43 lenses ???

But the peaking process doesn't work when using this adaptor?

Will this work with BMPCC?

Does it work wih non-Nikon lenses, TAMRON for example???

does this adpater compatible with Lumix g85?

THANK YOU so much for this review

What about Nikon AF-P FX lenses?

It seems to have missed focus at 11:58, 12:01, 12:04. Otherwise, pretty good.

do this adaptor useable on xt3 fuji?

Has the term changed?

FINALLY! Was looking for this type of adapter a few years ago. Unfortunate about continuous AF, but then again, Nikon couldn't do it with their own adapter for the Z mount. Hopefully, they'll also create a 0.64X focal-reducer version.

What about IQ? When you use FF on crop bodies the IQ is generally lower.

Does this adapter work with the 200-500mm F5.6E?

I had no idea this thing existed

Dx lens working or not

not one off my Nikon lenses work with this adapter on my Panasonic Lumix G100, also not in S Mode, why? Only my tamron 28-75 and its hunting like crazy, useless....why

This adapter does not auto focus with dx lenses.

camera's open sensor on the table bothers me much

Hey bro do you have any dslr i needed it very much if you are big heart person you can give me please

It seems to work with my DX lenses and not my regular Nikkor AF

Can never understand why reviewers love having loud music playing while they're talking....

zzzzzzzzzzzzz GET ON WITH IT

Your autofocus test is not so clever. Did you set focus + shot mode to make it impossible to see because of flashing screen ? You do it as fast as possible to not to see anything at all ? Do you think the speed of focusing is everything what matters, accuracy, stability, smoothness does not matter. Hmmmm, not so pro.

Hi Will this adaptor work with Olympus OM1 ? Also is there any adapter which will be usable for continuous autofocus like BIF ? Thanks
