Title: Adapter for Nikon 24 T/S PCE to sony?
Post by: Herbc on July 25, 2015, 11:47:09 am

I hear somewhere that there is an adapter that will allow use of the newer Nikon 24 T/S-E on the Sony A7's. Can't seem to find a reference to that.

I have been confronted with this decision also.  With a lot of investigation I think I am retiring all Nikon lenses.  With all of the Emount Sony's you should just go with a Batis.  I used three converters and they all did not work well.  Of course PCE is another matter.  Check Metabones.

I don't have a problem with converters, the Leica M and R lenses that don't smear work great.  My 90mm Leica M is so much smaller than the Batis or the 90mm Macro it is silly.
Samyang makes a nikon mount t/s which may be my only option.  I just hate to get into the selling game again.

The only metabones adapter I know for Nikon to Sony will not work with the Nikon PC-E lenses as they are electronic on the aperture.  The other Nikon glass works with the Metabones as there is a way to manually stop down the aperture.

I have heard there is a new adapter being made that may have the electronic connections for Nikon but it's not by Metabones.
