Plan 2: there will be 40-150 f/4 next year, a new 20mm f/1.4,

Plan 3: Olympus to make camera phones with Samsung! (article here).

Plan 4: Launch a WOW camera with classic E-m1 size. Maybe with the new Sony 45MP micro 4/3 with Quad Pixel AF??? (article here).

Summer will soon be over and the big autumn Canon-Sony fighting is about to start. First we will get the full new EOS-R3 unveiling around mid September. And in October Sony will launch their A7IV beast which is rumored to have the following specs:

  • Newly developed 33MP sensor
  • 5.5 stops of IBIS (+ AS)

Also Nikon will unveil the Z9 but I don’t know if they will make a meaningful impact with this camera…

Megadap Releases The First Ever Automatic Adapter for Sony E lenses on both Full Frame and APS-C Nikon Z Cameras

Hong Kong, 23rd August 2021 – Megadap, a new ambitious manufacturer who specialised in making camera lenses accessories, has just announced the launch of World’s first automatic Adapter ETZ11 for the full line-ups of Nikon Z mirrorless cameras (both Full frame and APS-C) to use Sony E lenses. Features like autofocus (AF-S / AF-C), aperture control and IBIS can now be retained. It can also work with MF lenses (with/without chips).

Much Higher Compatibility

Megadap ETZ11 supports a wide variety of third-party Sony E mount lenses adapted on Nikon Z cameras, in both automatic and manual mode shooting. ETZ11 allows E mount lenses from Zeiss, Sigma, Tamron, Voigtlander, and Samyang (Rokinon) to be used on Nikon Z cameras like native Z-mount lenses. It greatly improves the choices of lenses for Nikon Z users to use, especially Z50 and Zf-c owners.

Functions Upgrade

Megadap has spent countless of hours to optimize the firmware and ensured a much faster focusing speed for most of the compatible lenses when over similar adapters in the market. It is also first of its kind to be compatible with manual lenses without electronic chips. Camera IBIS is supported in AF- S/AF-C/MF modes. Auto aperture control and Aperture coupling (Aligned

aperture values showing on the lens’ body) are also supported (e.g. Sony GM lenses with aperture ring, Zeiss Loxia lenses, Voigtlander VE lenses etc.) Smooth real-time focus tracking is allowed with ETZ11.

Effortless Firmware Update

An USB update tool is included in the packing of ETZ11. The update can easily be done by connecting the clip-on electronic contact spots on the adapter and plugging the USB end into a computer. Simply drag the updated firmware downloaded from Megadap official website (www.megadap.net) into the pop up folder (like working with a flash drive) and the update is done.

Premium Built Quality

High Quality Plating is applied on the surface of Megadap ETZ11 Autofocus adapter. 2mm thickness made of aluminium alloy is thin but though. Ultra- protection of the circuit board has been designed to protect the circuit board from daily uses. New design of the release button has enable users to press the button down with ease for quick installation. The adapter itself is light and thin, making the use of other brands’ lenses feel original.
