Lestor Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 @Andrew: Any update or communication from the TechArt folk following our last conversation on whether the TZE or TA-GA3 will ever work with Contax G on the NZ and possible s/w updates to support this. I had a very brief one liner reply from Kevin(TAP Sales) saying that “Currently it does not work super well with TAGA3.” No reply or follow up clarification to the mails/queries I sent but I would really hope this was on their radar too as both adapters are TA products.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 18, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 18, 2019 Nada, nothing. They don't seem to reply to emails. I suppose we'll have to keep an eye on their website for firmware update news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookaburra Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I guess the Leica M AF adapter will not work with the TZE for political reasons. Because Techart would never have puplished the function on their webside if it would not have been working and bcause they have now withdrawn this statement. Maybe it will work with the older firmware versions. This is probably the same reason why the development of Steelsring Nikon2Fuji is pending for a long time although videos have proven the function already!

I suppose we'll have to keep an eye on their website for firmware update news. The Version 2.0 update is now available for the TZE-01. I updated to ver 2.0 in the hopes of compatibility with TA-GA3 and CG lenses. Sadly no change, in fact on version 1.0(TZE) there would be an initial buzzing sound as AF motor engaged initially when camera was switched on, but now nothing happens on version 2.0.Wonder whether this is even on their roadmap...

Robert E Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Is there any new information on the Leica M to Sony E adapter working on the Sony E to Nikon Z adapter? I wonder if you actually went back to a previous firmware update (say ver 4.0) if it would work? Most of the newer FW updates were for compatibility with the newer Sony A7 or A9 bodies. Would love to use my M lenses wit AF on the Z7. Any input on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStevene Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Though I have no knowledge of these adapters I can FULLY support your comments about those of us foolish enough to be among the first to buy the Nikon Z lenses. Yes, I am VERY P----- off at the fact we as early supporters of Nikon get the dirty end of the stick NIKON be ashamed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
