Will Zf work with Techart AF adapters? TZM-02 and TZE-02

[Dusty-Lens]

Will the Nikon Zf work with the Techart Sony E – Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter ver II (TZE-02) and the Techart PRO Leica M – Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter ver II (TZM-02)? Thanks!

If the Zf goes on sale next Thursday - some-one with Techart is likely to post before the end of the following week.

I have written to Techart with this question and will post their reply here if/when they do reply.

My speculation is that right now Techart do you not have access to a production model Zf.

Tested, it works.

Tested, it works.

Thanks for confirming. Which of the two did you test, btw?

But would they need one to confirm? In theory they should be aware if it will work based on the protocols anyway.

One of my friend worked in media got a sample camera, we tested the TZM-02 yesterday. It works fine with our M lenses.

But I don't have TZE-02, I'm not sure about how Zf works with that. Sorry.

Just bought the Zf over the weekend and my TMZ-02 arrived today.. updated the firmware and tried it quickly but not working yet.

Any one else having issues...?

I have the adapter but I am still waiting for the Zf.

xyzpixel posted above that it is working with Zf and AliExpress sellers confirmed the same. I wonder if they are all wrong or it's something else.

Did you set the camera per the instructions?

Or do a reset and try different focus modes?

 

[Keeping_a_balance]

Just slapped it on and tried to fire a shot and it did not work. Had to run to work. Can you provide a link to the resource to help set it up properly? Thanks.

 

[Keeping_a_balance]

Not sure what happened, but reinstalled the firmware and it now works... pretty cool.

All is good when it ends good!

Please share some initial feedback on how it focuses.

What lenses did you try so far? Can you try hiw it works with heavier lenses?

I am sure the Zf and mf lenses are a great match. How do you like the results?

 

[Keeping_a_balance]

Have had limited time to try it, focusing with good light was quite snappy and fast. My last AF experience has been the sl2-s, this feels faster). This feels a tad but not much slower than the kit 40mm 2.0 focusing.

I tried the 35 summilux fle v2 and the a voigtlander 50mm nocton... Heaviest m lense I have is likely the voigtlander 75 1.5 which I have yet to try.

Reverting.

A few samples of m lenses (35mm summilux and voitlander 75 1.5) all shot manual mode with auto iso, and automatic focus tracking. Was quite snappy.

no post production at all just imported raw files to LR and exported as jpg’s

BTW anyone figure out how to manually set focal length on the Zf to at least get some IBIS/exif data correct?

Looks good and sounds promising!

Good news.

I can to use my Nikon Z f with ZEISS Batis 2/40 CF with TECHART TZE-02. It is slow and not great but AF works.

However, I would advise that the firmware of TZE-02 must be the latest ver. 1.8.0. Older firmware will malfunction and not be recognized.

Great thanks!

I will update mine if needed once the camera arrives.

My TZM-02 works with my Z8 but not my Zf. Voigtlander M lenses. Hope TechArt is on to this
