Ever wanted to put a Sony E-mount lens on a Nikon Z-mount body? No, neither have we! But apparently, some folks do, and for those forward-thinking types, lens accessory maker Megadap has created the ETZ11—the world’s first automatic adapter for mounting Sony E-mount lenses on both full-frame and APS-C Nikon Z bodies.
According to the press release (below), the adapter supports both AF-S and AF-C autofocus, aperture control and in-body image stabilization—even with manual lenses without chips. Megadap says the ETZ11 supports a “wide variety” of first- and third-party E-mount lenses from Sony, Samyang (Rokinon), Sigma, Tamron, Voigtlander and Zeiss.
Measuring just 2mm thick, the ETZ11 is constructed from aluminum alloy and comes with a special clip-on cable for firmware updates via USB. The adapter can be purchased for $249 from Megadap’s online store.
