Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. will this cover a ff sensor or is it meant to be used with like the z50, ie thinking the sigma ef mount (apsc) 18-35mm 1.8 adapted to a z5/6/7 ?

A: This adapter only accept EF lenses and will cover a full frame sensor as found on the Nikon Z5, Z6/Z6II and Z7/Z7 II bodies.

Q: 2. Is it good enough for a Flash 30 inches Softbox (all together weight 5 lbs) ?

A: I personally would not recommend it for a 5lbs setup. We use an sbracket with a speed light and a 28in softbox or speed light with MAGMOD for on location work. I would say a 2-3lbs setup would be the most I would trust. Unless youre laying some sandbags to keep it weighted down. Without weighing it down it tends to tip over with our softbox. They do make a larger model that spreads wider at the base for more stability and heavier gear. Overall though I highly recommend these for light run and gun setups.
