Using Neweer NW-ETZ to get focus confirmation and correct IBIS

Happy that I could introduce these adapters to the clan :-)

I don’t know how Shoten pulled it off, as they are offering the same as the ‘other’ Chinese Sony > Z adapters at a quarter of the price, and making them Z compatible from the get-go.

(Based on Shoten prices in Japan.)

With an asking price of just $35-40 + very fast global shipping (<1 week), the Shoten NF-NZE adapter is a no-brainer. Exterior finish is nice, and the bayonet-mount fit is 100% -- no play whatsoever.

I'll dedicate one to my Noct-Nikkor and the other to the Canon TS 35/2.8, provided the latter lens has sufficient image quality for my IR work. Test shooting in progress, so far everything looks good although image contrast is on the low side compared to modern optics. Perhaps I'll return to the PC-Nikkor 24mm f/3.5 in the end? The Canon is a neat thing to play with, though.

Just curious please, but has this lens had its Canon-FD mount replaced by a Nikon F-mount?

If so, are the tilt and shift and rotation mechanisms still able to be utilised and the T/S still coupled as in the original form?

I have such a 35mm Canon T/S lens, but still with its original FD mount.

I am thinking that a Shoten CPU adapter in a Canon-FD to Nikon-Z mount version might be the easiest option for myself, as Shoten have several other versions of this adapter for non Nikon-F lens mounts.  I have a Nikon-F to Z adapter version already in transit to Australia for other F-mount lenses.

The exterior of the Shoten is a perfect match for my old Canon TS tilt/shift lens ..... One of the very few F-mount lenses that couldn't get a CPU back in the golden age of lens modifications. As the Canon lens is unusual in not having any IR hot spot, I hope to deploy it more frequently for IR shooting in the future.

Yes to both questions.

Thanks - in that case a very nice conversion.
