Advertisement Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 Hi DirkR440, Take a look here Techart Adapter für Leica M Objektive an Nikon Z. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
James24 Posted November 19, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 19, 2020 I am interested in this. Are you pleased with it? I see there is also another autofocus adapter from Megadap. I am trying to decide which one to choose. https://nikonrumors.com/2020/11/11/the-first-review-of-the-megadap-mtz11-autofocus-adapter-for-leica-m-lenses-to-nikon-z-cameras.aspx/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkR440 Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted November 19, 2020 Ah sorry, I just saw that I wrote my comment in german. 🙈 It means: I'll test it within the next days. I just made about three pictures today, so I can't really say much about it. But I'll keep you updated. I can't comment if the Techart or the Megadap is better, sorry.

Not a major issue but it is “limiting” the scope of what you can/can’t do. I am waiting for a comparison between the two adapters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James24 Posted November 19, 2020 Share #6 Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Thanks for that. I imagine those problems would be common to both adapters. But, as you say, a comparison between the two would be very helpful. Edited November 19, 2020 by James24 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comment if the Techart or the Megadap is better, sorry. when you do testing, can you please use extreme condition (low light, backlit, etc..) and lens wide open (lease DOF) like f/1.4. If you have a fast telephoto lens is even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a design flaw where after prolong use/heavy lenses .. “wobble” may occur ... but yes... keen for the comparison video to be published!

Leica by Dirk R., auf Flickr Hi @DirkR440 that’s a 100mm lens, you might need to “assist it”... change the focus closer to where you are trying to focus (not infinity) as the focal length is greater than 50mm. Refer to either your manual or this video at 2:20 it talks about this note: this is for the Sony camera however the theory is the same. Also note: you are putting a fairly heavy load on the adaptor the lens (760g) + R adapter (328g). The max rated load of the adapter is ~700g (this is for the Sony adaptor, not sure of the exact number for Nikon) Edited November 20, 2020 by Raymondl Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkR440 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share #11 Posted November 20, 2020 ah ok, thanks for this. I still try to get an english manual for the adapter. 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkR440 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share #12 Posted November 20, 2020 the biggest issue that I'm currently have with the adapter is: My 8 month old daughter somehow don't like the sound that is makes. She immediately starts crying when she hear that buzzing. So that stops me from taking more pictures at the moment. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photon42 Posted November 21, 2020 Share #14 Posted November 21, 2020 The nice thing is, that the extension of the adapter can be used in conjunction with the close focus of the lens, so we can get closer than the lens' minimal focussing distance. There is a limit with lenses requiring a longer movement, so for instance an old Nikkor 105 (mounted through a Nikkor F -> Leica M adapter) would require the adapter to move out more for close focussing, than it actually can. Manual help with focussing works, of course. Generally the adapter is relatively slow, but works well. I would not drive lenses exceeding maybe 400g. The servo does not sound too happy with heavy lifting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
