It's just the Commlite rebadge.  AF performance with that adapter is relatively poor.

Let's hope those guys are able to release something useful by the time the A9 is released, this should finally bring EVF cameras to a satisfactory level of specs.

Cheers,

I wonder why Metabones doesn't make an electronic Nikon adapter?  I don't even care about autofocus.  Just electronic aperture would be nice.

Steel Chen has also demo'd a Nikon-Sony adapter a few months ago:  Sony Alpha Rumors

I emailed him last week and he said he couldn't give an ETA, but could confirm that PC-E lenses will work with it.  (I have no connection other than being a past customer.)

The Steel Chen adapter has much more promise based on the prototype but he's been quiet for a while so I don't know where that development stands.
