Thanks Roland - I don't see what you see - you mean in the orange evening sunset pic?

Hallo Frank,

I bought the Funmount ETZ adapters via AliExpress. No problems, better order no more than one at a time, it keeps the customs procedure simpler. When it came to the AI-to-NEX adapters, I chose one that looked as understated as possible and was not expensive.

Where is your reliable source to buy these adapters?


Richard,
That’s a handy and very portable way to edit the text file. Very impressive!

Having a customised text file for each lens is very handy. When I edited the text file directly on the adapter, I sometimes had problems and it only worked the second time round. It seems to work best if you open the file in TextEdit, edit it, and then simply close it with ⌘W.

I can confirm that the adapter supports IBIS; you can try it out yourself, for example by entering a focal length of 200mm in the text file for a 50mm lens. The viewfinder image then becomes very shaky, as the camera thinks it needs to compensate for a telephoto lens.

I’ve personally switched to treating every lens I want to use with a Z-mount camera to its own ETZ adapter. It’s incredibly handy – no more fiddling about with changing adapters; if necessary, the simple E-to-Z adapters can be precisely adjusted to the respective lens using shims.
I’ve created a small table in this post:

 showing the different behaviour of IBIS and focus confirmation with various adapters on a Zf.

The Medical 120 is an interesting optical design, and despite the short-coming introduced by the lack of an independent aperture ring, is capable of delivering quite excellent results.

My sample has decoupled the internal linkage between focus and aperture, and a CPU added. Thus I can set aperture from the camera, making the lens much more versatile. Usually I don't bother about the internal flash as this actually complicates the matter when aperture is independent.
