The analysis in this video is based on this particular set of circumstances, which is outside, and the sun as a back light. I will conduct these test again with more optimal lighting conditions, with 2 x Z6's one with the 35mm Sony and one with the 35mm native Z. And we can asses how they perform in a more controlled environment. Also the adapter works well, but I do not believe it is as good as native lenses. I also think Sony lenses will vary with their mileage, and I would suggest individual lenses need to be tested on the adapter before committing to an expensive lens purchase.
Thank you. This may get me to try a Z 7 II with my full selection of Sony G and GM lenses including their latest and greatest. Have wanted to try the Nikon bodies for quite a long time to compare image quality for landscapes.
Thanks for covering this! I am mainly a Nikon shooter, but did get into Sony for a "fun" walk-around camera as my Nikon's were big DSLR's and acquired a few Sony lenses. Now that I recently hopped into Nikon Z, this seems like a great tool to get some extra mileage out of those FE lenses!
I think, the biggest advantage of newer lens (Nikon S) is the bigger mount. As an optician I think, that it is easier to construct good optics with bigger mounts. There are more vertical beams hitting the sensor.....
I’ve been shooting with this adapter every day for about a week as of today. I have 24-105g, FE 100-400 f/5.6 and just rented the 35mm F1.4. Mostly for stills and find it quite good. Of course I’m no stranger to adapters as I use a Canon 600mm F4 USM which I use quite often.
Sony does have some excellent APS-C lenses that I would not mind adapting For the most part, I see these adapters as a way for people to use both Nikon and Sony cameras without entirely switching systems. I would love to also see adapters for the Canon mirrorless mount as well. That could make the Z-mount king of all mirrorless mounts
Matt have you heard of anyone trying the adapter with some of the new Tamron E mount zooms like the 70-180 2.8 zooms. I am a bit jealous of those for the low weight fast aperture combination.
@@intrinsicimagery I too have the Viltrox 20mm, 85mm for the Z-mount. I too am very impressed. I am more commenting in the fact that neither Tamron or Sigma have ventured into making Z lenses, they only make ones for Sony, not even sure if they make any for the Canon mirrorless line either, never really looked I have to admit. On the F-mount, I have used both Tamron and Sigma, I still use my 70-200mm G2 on my Z6II adapted. Was hoping on comparable and inexpensive telephoto native options
Well, Matt . This adopter has issues in Video autofocus if the subject is moving around .. It’s not an issue with the lens or the camera .. you can check this out in some review from Omar Channel ..it has a major delay if the subject is moving around ..
Thanks Felix, not sure what you mean there :) When I was moving towards the camera it tracked well ... there was a profound difference between towards and away. I shot this episode almost 2 weeks ago, and in the mean time I have been made aware there is a new firmware update which helps to further improve focus ... I will do more testing and with another person next time :)
Hmm… there were some feedback of this adopter that it has some sort of issues as you face during the video when you move around … for stationary videos , it does great… not sure of the firmware update Matt …
I just purchase the adapter for the new samyang sony mount135.f 1.8....for my z 7.2 Nikon. . Nikon seem to have great lenses that cover lots of ranges but the 135 mm is a prime range that most professionals really need. So where is the Nikon Z 135 ?. Reading the reviewing the samyang 135 given the sigma 135 is not the newest version and Sonys is double the price and seem most reviews about samyang 135 It being better or at least it's equal . I black mailed father Christmas and it's on the way . The problem is there seems to be only one version of an adapter availbe for Sony to nikon mount. I am using the z 2. What I found that updating the dater on lenses and camera has had noticeable improved its colour results. My question is will the samyang or Sony lenses have firmware for Nikon how does work does it not matter?i am not sure how the firmware dater works out side of same make kend to camera.any chance you could share with us the pros and cons of mix and match lenses adapters firmware ? Please ....
Nice video Matt, but are you testing the Megadap E2Z, or the camera's face/eye tracking for a subject moving backwards? If it is the Z camera's firmware that is to blame here the you uncovered a weakness that needs to be sorted out a.s.a.p. in the next firmware release. My thoughts go out to old American blues songs that start as a sort of prayer like "Please Mr. President" and lament about all sorts of injustice. The variant being, "Please Mr. Nikon san".
I have just had another chat similar in regard to this topic of focus tracking. And from my overall use of the Z system testing I think it is a mix of lens age (pre face tracking/video full time focusing needs), adapter, ambient lighting conditions and camera. I believe they all play a part. The 50mm lens was not working as well as the 24-105. So this suggests it is perhaps a non video optimised lens or the 'lens logic' is pre face tracking needs - same camera, same adapter, different lens. The adapter I think is close to native performance in non extreme, optimal conditions (with a good lens) but not the same. Similar. And the camera, I have noted in optimal lighting works very very well. For example my studio, focus sticks. Forward, back etc. But I have noted in situations where I place the sun behind me, a high backlight situation, the camera mileage can vary from a focus tracking perspective. In a similar sort of way the chromatic aberration can very greatly with even the slightest changes in angle of attack of light, focal length, focus etc. Further testing is required. For optimal results I would always choose native everything. But for those perhaps on a budget, or those that have a large number of non native glass this can be a solid option. These test also where with an earlier firmware, this was recorded 2 weeks ago and I have since been informed there is a newer version. As we can see by looking at the firmware updates megadap.net/etz11-firmware/ Individual Sony lenses are improved. This suggest to me that there is the potential for programming for individual lenses. And the adapter is a bridge between Sony and Nikon protocols. If this is the case indeed very old Sony lenses may have not been prioritised ... Of course this is all speculation. Overall there is more to this than just the Z system. And I think the adapters and lenses can have a lot to do with out comes. Cheers Matt
@@MattIrwinPhotography - thank you for your in-depth reply. As I have a Z camera with native lenses only, you put my mind at rest. Something I don't have to verify myself shortly. As to video versus stills AF, note that in stills, the camera focuses at f/5.6 where it has more DoF than at full open and can more easily identify subjects it needs to recognize. In video at wide apertures we don't have that advantage and potentially need a focus-puller assistant ;)
Interesting video as always. I'm wondering what the technological differences between different Sony E mount adapters are. I recently tested the first version of the Techart adapter with a relatively new lens, the 35/1.4 GMaster and it didn't work (at least not on the Z 6 body). I even tried to update the firmware in the adapter but that didn't work either. I'm wondering if the newer adapters like the Megadap or the second generation of the Techart would take the lens. Or in general, if there is a key to what lenses are supported on which adapter. I would be quite interested in adapting the 16-35/2.8 GMaster, as it is a focal range that can't be found for the Z mount yet (and we don't know if it ever will) because I would take a 16-35 over 14-24 any time. For my use case it's much more universal.
Matt, you should create a Patreon account. I would support you there. Also, how about testing the Megadap on your Z9. I wrote Megadap and they told me that the adapter works on the Z9 so I ordered one. However, it would be nice to see what you find.
@@MattIrwinPhotography Thank you, Matt. I'm sure the Megadap will be useful for the Z9. Many former Nikon users backed away from Nikon when they did not respond quickly on full-featured mirrorless back in 2018. Most of them went to Sony. Now there are many refugees from Nikon who want to come home but have several nice Sony GM lenses that Nikon has not yet developed (e.g., 200-600mm). Megadap to the rescue!
As much as this works well, I would always recommend native over non native ... and what we have seen of the Z glass so far, I think it would be worth the wait.
8:30 you can probably answer the question by attaching the lens to the A7R and move backwards for comparison. I don't think it's the lens, I think it's the mix of the adapter as a proxy and the clunky Nikon focus tracking system.
Nice video Matt. I just got the Megadapt ETZ21 and mounted a Sony 200-600 lens to a Nikon Z7ii. I can't get the shutter button to release. I've tried to mount and dismount several times. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.
Hmmm. Not sure. Does the coupling feel under pressure? I have never tried a lens that long. Perhaps reach out to megadap who will have a more comprehensive understanding of each lens.
I recently got the newer etz21 adapter and it works great with mynew Z8 and the new sony e mount Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 g2. But has anyone had problems with the Tamron app and the 28-75mm g2, mine is always coming up as lens not connected, no-matter which USB cable I use, even the Nikon one because the Tamron ine is like hens teeth.
Good solution, unfortunately I have sold (silly me) all my AF lenses (Sigma 30mm F1.4 and S0NY E 50mm f1.8 OSS) when I moved to Nikon Z50, so for me there is no way back! Now I will keep an eye on Nikon Nikkor Z 28mm F2.8 (SE) and Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm F2, and eventually 18-140 when it comes (if it comes, because I'm beginning to lose patients with Nikon!) and probably my gear for my needs will be completed.
Matt, slightly off-topic - have you come across any solution/adapters to make Z lenses tilt-shift? There are many 3rd party adapters for F to Z, even medium format to Z, but I cannot find anything that would allow tilt-shift Z lenses on my Z6.
Not the greatest adapter for video. I think the native z lenses work a little better as well as adapted f lenses. It's amazing what megatek has achieved and with practice I am sure it could be improved on. Great option, but the z glass is so good, I have given up on adapting and just save up for the native stuff
This ain't it chief. I wouldn't rely on this adapter, since the AF seems inconsistent. And I also red a lot negative experiences about the company regarding RMA. They just don't answer your E-Mails etc. if you have a problem with the product.
Having the possibility to put my Nikon lens (500 pf) on a Sony would be a game changer for me… not having Sony on Nikon as Nikon is making « more than good enough » lens 😜
I'm in the same boat... but for me, I would LOVE to just be able to run Nikon Z glass on a Sony body, but I don't think it's actually possible due to flange sizes and depths. The Nikon flange depth is only 16mm, whereas Sony's is 20mm, meaning the rear element on a Nikon lens cannot mount close enough to project a clear image on the sensor. This, along with the fact that the Z mount flange is a larger diameter than the E mount flange as well. SIGH. As for the F-mount... well, there are plenty of 'alright' Nikon F/G series adapters for the Sony platform, but none with great reviews that will adapt F/E series lenses...
I envy at Sony because they has all the 4 lenses I want 16-35 2.8 24-105 f4 1351.8 200-600 . I wish atleast those two lenses which are the road map come soon

The lenses shouldn't have a huge impact on color; in this video, the washed out and faded color is coming from the extremely bright sky backlighting Matt. I've been strongly considering this as a temporary fix as I'm leaving Nikon, and will ultimately be selling glass before I sell the cameras. This'll allow me to replace lenses and still run a Nikon body until my A1 is in stock...
And the award for most self-defeating camera invention goes to...I mean for real, are we actually taking away Nikon's best asset, their lens optics, and replacing it with sony lenses?? This is waste of time.
No. Native is always better from my perspective. There other use cases. It is not simply binary. Sony only or Nikon only. It gives Sony users and opportunity to buy a Z camera and perhaps shift to Z and slowly changing glass.
@@MattIrwinPhotography Yes, if existing Sony users want to buy like a Z5 and adapter just to try it out, I have no problem with that, but just to clarify, I'm more talking about if you're a Nikon shooter doing this is kinda backwards lol
@@stevenherzog2358 In my case, I'm stepping away from Nikon. I've had some poor experiences with their customer service group and also am looking for some thing Nikon isn't releasing or will not release quickly enough for my needs. What this adapter will allow for me is to begin replacing lenses I sell while the A1 is out of stock, and still use my Z7 II with new Sony glass. Eventually, I'll have stepped over the fence entirely, but until then, this will suffice as an option (and I don't shoot video, so no need to worry there).
@@zfreek98 lol yeah, I don’t even bother with Nikon customer service, I just take it to my buddy who owns a camera repair shop. But what are you looking for in stills that Nikon isn’t coming out with? Personally I’d wait for the Z9 and see what leaps they make there, because that tech will trickle down to the following models.
Z cameras don't even focus well with their own lenses 🤷 need to get their priorities straightened out. As a wild life enthusiast, I still have not been able to swap away from the D850 because how doodoo the Z line's focus is 🙄
Z6ii 200-500 or 300 2.8 work spectacularly for me when I get the chance! They've not made anything long enough on Z mount to really test the system properly, which is its own problem I guess
The analysis in this video is based on this particular set of circumstances, which is outside, and the sun as a back light. I will conduct these test again with more optimal lighting conditions, with 2 x Z6's one with the 35mm Sony and one with the 35mm native Z.

@@MattIrwinPhotography My question exactly! :D. (Great video Matt thanks!)
Does this adapter work with your new Z9?
Would be interested to see how the combo performs with the Tamron 70-180 2.8. There's a video of that lens on Nikon using a different, older adapter.
Huge thanks, Matt! Amazing review
Could this be the solution to access a 16mm 1.4 for aps-c on a Z50 to vlog with it ? Any opinions on that Matt ?
I would like to try the 18-105 f4 on the Z50. 😄

how is the focus in AFC? is there some "micro pumping"? or is it smooth without any problems?

Z cameras don't even focus well with their own lenses 🤷 need to get their priorities straightened out. As a wild life enthusiast, I still have not been able to swap away from the D850 because how doodoo the Z line's focus is 🙄
Z6ii 200-500 or 300 2.8 work spectacularly for me when I get the chance! They've not made anything long enough on Z mount to really test the system properly, which is its own problem I guess
