has had Gabriel's newly launched ETZ21 automatic adapter ring for some time. So far, I have conducted a series of tests on this adapter ring with a Nikon Z 7II camera and multiple lenses. ETZ21 is an automatic adapter ring that can install Sony E-mount lenses on Nikon Z series cameras. In the limited space of only 2mm flange distance, it cleverly incorporates electronic contacts, circuits, bayonet and other structures. , the workmanship is very exquisite.
Let me talk about the conclusion of the test first: whether it is connected to the Sony original E-mount lens or the secondary factory (such as Tamron ) E-mount lens, it can achieve accurate and fast focusing and support anti-shake. , human eye recognition and other functions. Let’s find out through the video below.
In the video, I used the Nikon Z 7II+ETZ21 adapter ring, paired with the Sony FE 55mm F1.8 lens, the Tamron 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD lens and the Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS lens. The compatibility, focus efficiency, human eye recognition, anti-shake support and other aspects of the adapter ring have been tested. I believe it is not difficult for everyone to see that no matter when paired with a fixed-focus lens, a lens with anti-shake function, or a subsidiary E-mount lens, the ETZ21 can realize the functions of the lens, has excellent compatibility, and can achieve excellent performance in terms of focusing speed, human eye recognition, etc. There is great support.
Let’s take a look at the details of this Gabriel ETZ21! The bayonet part adopts metal brushing technology and has solid workmanship. The lens release button is placed on the side and has a reinforced bayonet structure.
The back is a special upgrade electric shock connected with a clip and an adapter ring. This is also a unique method limited by the too thin adapter ring. It is not complicated to use, just match the four contacts on the clip with the corresponding contacts on the adapter ring.
Finally, to summarize, thanks to the rich Sony original E-mount and third-party E-mount lens groups, using this adapter ring can greatly expand the lens options for Nikon Z series camera users, and also allow Z series users to experience to more specifications and varieties that the original factory does not have. Through actual testing, when using the ETZ21 adapter ring, there is no need to worry about compatibility, focus, anti-shake and other performance issues after the adapter. After all, the relatively young Z-mount lens group still has a lot of room for development compared to the mature E-mount lens group. Therefore, at this stage, this adapter ring does have meaning in its existence and use.
