New Techart EF-to-Z Adapter Lets You Use Canon Lenses on Nikon Cameras with Full AF and Stabilization
Techart has pulled off something pretty cool with its latest lens adapter. The so-called “Canon EF to Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter” (TZC-01) lets you use Canon EF glass on Nikon’s mirrorless Z-Series cameras without sacrificing autofocus, auto exposure, aperture control, or lens stabilization.
There’s also a built-in function button, which allows you to save and recall a specific focus distance by pressing and holding the silver button for two seconds.
You can see the adapter in action in this comprehensive test by YouTuber Richard Wong:
Of course, not all EF lenses will perform equally well, but many of the most popular lenses are already compatible. According to Techart, the TZC-01 adapter “currently supports most of the Canon, Sigma, Tamron, Tokina and Zeiss lenses with EF mount including some legendary glass like Canon 16-35mm L, 24-70mm L, 70-200mm L, Sigma Art series, Canon Tilt/Shift glasses, Tamron zoom lenses, etc.”
Additionally, the lens comes with a “complimentary lens dock” for firmware upgrades, so you can stay up to date as more lenses are added; although, comically, it does not include the required microUSB cable to connect the doc to your Mac or PC.
Nitpicking aside, the ability to use EF glass on Z-Series cameras vastly increases the lens options for Nikon full-frame mirrorless shooters, and you won’t hear us complaining about that.
The Techart Canon EF to Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter is available today from the Techart Pro website, where it’ll cost you $250—the same price as the company’s Sony E to Nikon Z adapter released last yer. To find out more about the adapter or order your own, click here.
