BCMielke Posted February 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Hi BCMielke, Take a look here SL2 with Novoflex Nikon AF adapter. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
BCMielke Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted February 5, 2020 An update I also tried the Sigma 24-70 Art Nikon mount. This is also suppose to have the E couplings. Same issue as the 70-200. Nothing works. In this case I couldn't even get an Aperture reading at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joakim Posted February 6, 2020 Share #3 Posted February 6, 2020 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that 300PF works quite ok on the SL/SL2. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVickery Posted May 9, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) 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.

FlashGordonPhotography Posted May 10, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 10, 2020 70-200 f4 doesn’t AF 200-500 has AF but not super fast. Usable. Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some lenses are OK. Some not. Don't expect anywhere near native performance. Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
