Introduction

 

This adapter is compatible with Canon EF/EFS mount and Nikon Z mount protocols. 

It can control lens’ aperture electronically, auto focus and report lens information for EXIF 

recording.  Most  EF/EFS  lenses  manufactured  by  Canon  and  third  parties,  e.g.  Sigma, 

Tamron,  etc.,  get  similar  phase  detection  AF  performance  to  that  of  adapting  Nikon  F 

mount lenses to Z mount through Nikon FTZ adapter.

 

Both bayonets of EF and Z mount are made of brass. The body and tripod mount are 

made of alloy. All these parts are made by high precision CNC and very solid and durable. 

The  professional  light  extinction  design  inside  the  adapter  will  make  sure  the  optical 

performance of the lens is maximized.

 

A removable tripod mount is included. It’s useful when medium sized lenses are used 

or when the whole setup is to be installed on a gimble. But if you don’t need it, you may 

remove  it  by  uninstalling  the  two  screws  under  it  using  the  L-wrench  which  is  also 

included.  When  you  reinstall  it,  please  be  noted  that  don’t  use  too much force.  Or  the 

thread may be damaged.

 

There is a Micro USB plug for a firmware update purpose near the tripod mount. Read 

section 4 for more details.
