- You know us, we love adapting and trying out new things!
So here's a first look at the Techart TZM II adapter - the latest version - that allows you to adapt your Leica M Mount lenses onto Nikon Z cameras with FULL autofocus!
We've also added our own Leica M to Nikon F mount adapter to see if it works with F mount glass as smoothly.

Techart should make F to Z mount autofocus adaptors. They will sell bucketloads.
💯%
Just buy another adapter, leica lens to f mount.
The great idea of using adapters opens up a world of opportunities to push the boundaries. I have used Hasselblad, Pentax 67 on Z systems. I have had a lot of fun but missed the AF capability. Now, TECHART adapters offer more creativity and fun to go further on this route. Thanks for the info.
Amazing! Now we know 100% that nikon just didn't want us using the f mount glass on the z mount body. They could have easily added af to their ftz but didn't. :(
I have the Megadap ETZ21 adapter for my z9. I use it for my Sony 200-600 G lens. This combination works fine. Awsome autofocus.
I’ve taken the plunge and bought one along with a Leica M to F mount adapter. I’ve got a number of manual f-mount lenses coming from Zeiss, Nikon and also my favorite, a Samyang 135 f2 which I’d be happy to use again on my Z9. The Samyang is just creamy. I’d be a happy puppy to have that working with af! Will report back on how it all goes as soon as I’ll get the adapter. Cheers guys!
How did it go?
Becky, for your mushroom phase . . . remember they are all fun-gis. 😀
Outtakes are hilarious !
Becky & Kon’s Fun with Voigtlander. ❤
You two are the best!🤣 That adapter sounds like a good addition to one’s kit for creative work! That would open up the door for a lot of manual focus lenses for Nikon. I just ordered the 7artisans 12mm f/2.8 II wide angle for the Z50 to try out for night photography. And use for the Aurora Borealis. We’ll see how it works. Figure I won’t be out lots of money if it’s a dud!
So between the Techart TZM-02 and the Megadap FTZ-21 which you tested previous which one do you like better? Cheers!
I have multiple fast manual lenses and it can be pretty difficult to nail the focus when wide open. Adapters like these are great with those lenses.
How would it work for recording video in continuous autofocus and tracking? Is it somewhat reliable or does it get “confused”?
Hello
Nice adapter but Z's are flattening good old Leica glasses
Presumably this would also work with Nikon non AFS D lenses?
Yes, it is going to work the same way as with manual Nikon lenses.
Nice hats, nice adapter, thanks!
I can not put some voigtlander into the adapter
My Skopar 35/2.5 and nokton 50/1.5 II stuck , too tight to turn the lens to lock position. Im afraid that i would damage my adapter
VM 40/1.2, I can squeeze it in but very tight. It get me some difficulty to remove the lens.
But it work perfectly with my leica lens and all adapter M to F,PK MD .
Thanks for the review. It’s not clear to me if you think the adapter is more accurate than focus peaking or focusing by eye? Can you say? Thanks.
Wonderful and entertaining 😀
Excellent video
Can you use the aperture ring on the lens? Or you need to choose an aperture on the lens and adjust it on the camera as well for the camera to know which aperture you are using?
check out all this great tech and we can use all sorts of other brand's lenses on our nikon bodies....but still not D lenses
Kon, at 3:54 an easy fix is to add the max apature in the "non_cpu data" section of the Z camera, and treat this leica as a Manual focus Nikon lens, Hint: in this mode the Nikon bodies 'figure out' what the apature is, without digital help (in A or M mode; AND you have to set the apature to 'use ring' not 'control wheel' method in the sub_menu), by other means, so this trick may work with these third party lenses?
Great idea. Thank you.
Nikon can't even store the non-cpu data - that one manually sets in the menus - in the raw file. Unbelievable 😠
But as this adapter has CPU, surely the camera body will ignore non-cpu data??
Hi you two. Fun video (and idea). Does the camera recognise the lens for EXIF?
No(. You need to instal manually the focal lens by aperture for exif.
I see they also provide the adapter for LTM/M39 lenses, but what's the difference between:
- Adapter (L39 - Leica M, 50.75)
- Adapter (L39 - Leica M, 35.135)
Are those values the focal length that can host? So, in my case, owning Voigtlanders LTM 35mm 50mm 75mm should I go for the Adapter (L39 - Leica M, 35.135) ?
It stands for specific focal lengths. 50 / 75 one is for using it with 50mm and 75mm lens. Same goes to 35/135 one.
@@techartpro1420 thanks for the clarification. So as you say I understand that it's not a range (e.g. from 50 to 75 but it's 50 or 75). What would be the problem of using a 35mm lens on the 50.75? Edge blurriness? Vignetting?
@@atomobianco These adapters will bring up different frame lines on a true rangefinder camera, which makes no difference if you are just going to stack it on the TZM.
I see! 🙏
I once adapted a 90mm Great Wall medium format lens to nikon f. Terrible lens, but fun for some pictures.
I own the megadap mtz 11. I wonder what is the difference. Could I use this adapter for video?
Very entertaining thank you.
Nikon needs to make a Z6II in a ZF Body Design ASAP
I had the Mega adaptor and it lasted 5 minutes than kaput. The servo motor went dead
How would you assess the ibis for this setup? Especially in the case of video
I wonder if there’s an impact on battery life?
Somehow I doubt that best results are with lens at infinity focus. Surely a pre-manual focus at roughly the right spot (especially with longer focal lengths) will speed it up. I can’t see how it could make the results worse.
yes a pre-focus can speed up the work.
@@techartpro1420 Could you please clarify how ibis works with the adapter?
@@snoogly it works, i have TTartisan 50mm 0.95 and ibis works, just add non cpu lens in camera settings
depends on lens... on Leica mount TTartisan 50mm 0.95 it's when you set at infinity, although if you set at closer distance it can focus very close, almost macro... on F-mount Samyang 85mm 1.4 best autofocus when you set it at 7-15m distance, again if you prefocus closer you can get macro-like shots from much closer with non existant DOP :)
@@meitelis gosh! Thanks for the info.
The Fotodiox Propronto MtoZ AF adapter is much better built with a brass mount that easily handles heavier telephoto lenses and integrates with the Nikon Z focusing and metering system seamlessly. On the Z8 at firmware 2.0 works with every lens I’ve tested except for a 1958 Leica 21mm f4 Super Angulon- which needed a couple extension tubes.
Why is this video unlisted?
Hi both, thanks for the info. Very interesting. I have a few Voightlander and Chinon lenses with Leica mounts which via an adapter work well in MF on my Z7. For landscape, flower, macro and any photography where the subject is not moving I actually enjoy MF much more than AF. I find myself more immersed in the slower photo-taking experience and increased satisfaction from good outcomes. How much are the beanies please?
You didn't get it. This accessory takes everything the camera does to another level. If you just enjoy the satisfaction of not doing much, then so be it. This is for those folks like me who need to hold the camera over my head when there's tall folks and take no-look shots with vintage lenses or pluck birds eyes out of the sky with projector lenses. If having a lot more fun and accuracy is not for you, then that's silly. I think you ought to re-consider this tool for it's strengths, not compare what you can already do well without it.
Mushrooms are best, as they're the Fungi to be with ! ( groan )
FFS, given how much these adaptors cost it might be more appropriate to cut out the annoying back and forward banter and concentrate on giving the viewer some useful information. I didn’t realise the shop was called “Greys of Indeterminate Eastern European Country”.
