I have several such adapters - but none can be attached to the TechArt Pro (TAP).
The aperture control part gets in the way.
For your gelded AF-S lenses you may have a look at the Commlite Nikon to Sony AF adapter
Latest Firmware Version is 04. Relative to the TAP it seems to be in an earlier stage of its development.
K-H.

Vello makes an AF adapter for select Nikon glass, including some G lenses. I have one G lens, that I really like, but haven't purchased the adapter.

Thanks for the answers. I have a Novoflex for non AF use and am getting the Techart for AF on my Nikon non G's and M42's. I am getting a relatively inexpensive Fotodiox NikG-LM adapter to experiment with. I have a Dremel and I am not afraid to use it!

I ordered the Techartpro adapter 7 September directly from Techartpro, but still have not received any info regarding shipping. I have sent 3 emails to [email protected] requesting tracking/status, but they have not responded to any of my emails.
Anybody else have trouble contacting Techartpro? Or been waiting a long time for the adapter? Looks like people that have ordered later than me is all ready getting the adapter And they have also received tracking info. I have not received any info other than the order recipt.
I find this strange and unprofessional.

Has anybody had any experience with this adapter? What is your recommendation for adapting a Sony A mount lens with TAP?

My other question is not related with TAP. But why some cheap adapters for Sony e mount that can be used for A7 and A7r say not compatible with A7ii or A7rii? Like this one:

I recently purchased a L39 to M adapter from Cameraquest for use on my 75mm/2.4 voigt. The AF is amazing quick. Best performance of any lens I have used previously. I am not sure if it is the adapter or the lens.
The lens is really small and light but it is not quite up to the Zeiss 85/4. The edges are decent. At wider apertures a fair amount of CA and fringing.

It actually looks like it would work, but they may just be covering themselves as a number of cheap adapters will vignette with full frame cameras. Like I said; this one looks like it will be OK with most lenses. If you intend to use it with a longer telephoto, I would be wary, but shorter lenses should be OK. Then again, it's pretty cheap so it's probably worthwhile taking a chance.

I ordered on Sept 3rd and got no further updates until they sent out a shipping notice on Sept 10th. The shipping notice had no tracking info, just a note that it had been shipped. It arrived yesterday, the 19th, with the v4 firmware.
For what it is worth, it is totally worth the wait. AF on my A7ii with my v4 'cron is quick and efficient - finally a mirrorless camera that is the ideal platform for Leica RF mount lenses.
With the Nokton 40/1.4, the camera is relatively compact (albeit kind of heavy) and seems like the 21st century love child of the Minolta CLE and the Hexar AF.

The early NEX cameras and the first A7 versions were made with a two part (Plastic and metal) lens mount. The plastic portion would compress considerably more than the metal portion and some manufacturers took advantage of this to tighten the camera/lens connection by making their flange a fraction of a millimeter thicker than the Sony spec.
Then, in response to many customer complaints on the plastic/metal mount Sony moved to an all metal design that does not compress. Third party adapters designed to take advantage of that compression will not fit on the all metal mount cameras.

I should have the Techart tomorrow. I ordered from Amazon. I plan on using it with just my M lenses.

I received the Pro yesterday. I can't believe how fast and accurate it is compared to the Canon/Metabones. I sure hope that it is reliable over the long term.
I viewed a video which claims that the adapter can't be used with the Sony grip but it works great with my A7rII and grip.

Has anyone used the Teacart Pro with the Leica S'lux 35mm FLE or the S'lux 50mm ASPH? I have sold all of my Leica gear with the exception of these two lenses which are getting very little use on my A7R11 or A711. Thanks in advance for you help.

I just received a Leica 90/2 AA and tested it with TAP. Powerful combination for portraits and long distance subjects.
Here is one of my first pictures with it.

Fred, cannot wait to hear what you think of the Leica 90/2 AA, especially for portraits, and also to see what lenses you keep post Loxia! Thanks for what you share here.

I have a nice 90mm Summicron that I look forward to using. Would be nice with my 50mm Summitar from my IIIC as well for a different effect.
