I am enclosing my results with the lenses I have tested with the Novoflex AF Adapter for Nikon

Nikon 70-300E Terrible.  Misses focus on a regular basis

Nikon 500Pf E Quite good and worthwhile to take in the field.  All focus modes seem to work well.  Worth trying against the 90-280 to see if it is as good as or better

Sigma 70-200 Sport This lens is suppose to have the Nikon E couplings.  It doesn't work at all.  The aperture is incorrect (it seems to want to be at 1.2 all the time) and the AF doesn't work on any mode.  I kinda got some AF on spot mode, but it was hit or miss.

Thanks for the report, I don’t have the SL2 yet but I am interested in what the options are for long lenses with or without an adapter. The good results with the 500PF is promising and I would assume the 300PF will perform the same.

I can confirm that 300PF works quite ok on the SL/SL2.

My experience on the SL is:

Nikon 70-300 E - slow, questionable accuracy
Nikon 300 PF - a bit slow but seems reasonably accurate
Nikon 105 E - works
Nikon 28 E - works

For the lenses that work, I'm not completely convinced that the AF is always accurate...occasionally the AF just seems to give up.

Can someone please point me to the novoflex adapter that allows autofocus for Nikon lenses. Can’t see to find it.  Thanks for your help.

It's not a fix all. Some lenses are OK. Some not. Don't expect anywhere near native performance.
