Caution- Z6 firmware update not compatible with Techart adapter

[phgordon]

No longer works with my 25 mm and 85mm Sony E mounts. I hope Techart will do a firmware update.

After I updated my Z7 with the new firmware, my TechArt Pro adaptor stopped working as well. However, I downloaded the current firmware for the adaptor at TechArt's website and loaded it on the adaptor as a test. It started to work again. You may want to give it a try.

Unfortunately this is one potential disadvantage to third-party adapters. Looks like NIkon might be catching on and so future updates to the Z bodies may be troublesome for some people who use such adapters. As long as TechArt can keep up with the Nikon firmware updates (I assume this will continue to happen in the future) then perhaps not as a big of a problem. But this is always a concern I personally have with third-party lenses and adapters...

Thanks, I loaded 4.4 but no luck on my z6 with Sony 85 and Zeiss 35 mm. I just see MF and there is no ability to do manual focus. When I do the update I see Chinese characters flash for a second. Fingers crossed that they get it right because these are pretty good lenses.

I attempted to update my TechArt TZE-01 but couldn't get it to appear on my desktop iMac. Any ideas on how to get it to connect? I used the micro USB cable that connects to iMac and the adapter dock but nothing happened. Total loss of $250. Meanwhile, my Z7 works fine with the Megadap ETZ11 adapter with the latest upgrade. AF is damn good for what it is.
