This M42 to Nikon Z Adapter - Mitakon Zhongyi Turbo Mark IIfrom M42 to Nikon Z Adapter - Mitakon Zhongyi Turbo Mark IIallows M42-mount lenses to be mounted on Nikon Z-mount cameras. Optimized for APS-C sensors, the adapter reduces the angle of view by 0.726x and the maximum aperture of the lens by 1 f-stop. Four optical elements condense light from a M42-mount full-frame lens and project it onto the camera's APS-C sensor, allowing the sensor to capture all of the lens's transmitted light. This negates the 1.5x crop factor and effectively produces full-frame-equivalent coverage on non-full-frame sensors. A corresponding increase in the maximum aperture of 1 f-stop makes the lens more effective in low-light situations.

Features four lens elements in three groups and includes one extra-low dispersion element.

Built to last, the Turbo Mark II offers sturdy metal construction and stainless steel mounts.

This is a manual adapter and offers no electronic communication between the lens and camera.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this the same glass as the M43 to Canon EF II? The canon version seems to be getting way better reviews that the Nikon...

A: This is the same glass but be aware that while it is advertised as a full stop faster, in real practice you will only ever be able to open it up to about 1/3 of a stop more due to diffraction issues. Fully open this device makes images soft, so for a dream sequence it's great, for any real shooting? You have to close it up until the diffraction stops, usually about 1/3 of a stop. It makes your f1.8 like a f1.6, not a f1.4.

Q: 2. Is it correct for olympus em5 mk2?

A: Yes, this is compatible with the Olympus EM5 mk2.

Q: 8. Will this work with the Sony A7R II? I know both the NEX cameras and Alpha cameras are Sony E-mount but it's a known issue with the dumb adapters that some only work on the Sony NEX cameras and not for Sony Alpha cameras.

A: It will work but that adapter is for APS-C sensor cameras and so it will produce a lot of vignette when used with the Sony A7R II.

Q: 9. how do you focus with this adapter do you use the focusing ring on the lens or the focusing ring on the adapter?

A: Focusing is done on the lens. Not on the adapter.
