 p.30 #2 · p.30 #2 · Nikon Zf as a platform for adapted/native manual focus lenses | |
I just purchased and received the TTartisan 6bit adapter and of the 3 Leica M to Z adapters i have (K&F and forodiox close focus helicoid being the others) the TTArtisan 6bit reaches infinity closest to the hard stop. I also appreciate the exif data for 6bit lenses and the weight of the adapter, though the adapter didn't work right away and i had to update the firmware.
The adapter is snug on the camera and the lenses i mounted snug on the adapter though i wish the lens release tab wasn't what appears to be plastic. There is no play when the lens and camera are locked in. I guess another advantage of having electronic contacts is you can check your exif to see if the lens/adapter are properly mounted after taking a pic (if either isn't, exif for 6bit lenses isn't transmitted). Not a major selling point but somewhag useful (on digital M cameras i would occasionally double check mounting in camera via shooting details with 6bit lenses, so an old habit).
Now on to my questions - for those with experience with these adapters, do you find that trap focus works better for some lenses on AFC over AFS? For my 35lux FLE, it is pretty snappy on AFS and AFC, but for my Noct f1 and 75lux, it seems to acquire focus more reliably on AFC. For someone coming from shooting purely MF for many years, AF modes are quite confusing - are there any particular modes that work better with trap focus? Prior to buying this adapter, i would shoot single point for MF and AF in AFS, being the simplest and most predictable AF mode I know of. When using the TTartisan adapter and trap focus, it SEEMS wide area locks focus pretty quick. Single point doesn't seem to be as responsive. Would love to hear how others have set the camera up when using this adapter.
Thanks in advance!
