Product Description
The light and compact Techart Pro Adapter is billed as the world’s first autofocus adapter for your manual-focus camera lens. It can turn your manual Leica M lens into an autofocus lens, so you can use it with Sony A7 cameras Read More
I was sorry this one failed to happen. Ended up ordering one elsewhere for a small discount over retail. This seems like the perfect product for me as I have quite a few lenses by Kern, Kinoptik, Angenieux and Schneider for my Alpa cameras, and they'll now be autofocus on my A7II.
CalamarikI agree, but unlikely to happen.
Part of the reason we see so many different autofocus adapters for e-mount is because Sony has shared to AF protocol, making it super easy to do.
I own one of these and have gotten a good bit of use out of it with M-mount and MD-mount lenses.
I am for the most part VERY impressed with it, and this discount is pretty damn good.
Auto-focus is quick and accurate. It is rather loud though, and less accurate the longer your lens is. At 40mm is is pretty quick. At 75mm it is less so, but still not slow by any means.
My two biggest complaints are that it is rather loud, and tends to drain battery even when the camera is off.
Compatibility is a7ii, a7rii, a6300, a6500, and a9. Nothing else will work.
Before anyone asks, a6000 DOES NOT work. a7 (not mark II) does not work. a7s does not work. Only the cameras listed. Older e-mount cameras wont even boot with the adapter attached.
I highly recommend this thing to anyone with some old, fully manual lenses laying around. Many of them are great glass even by today's standards.
Yea, the sound isn't a deal killer, but I would not want to record video with it.
And that is the first I have heard of that hardware issue. Mine is still working without any wobble after a year or so.
EnderIII@EnderIII I completely agree although funny enough the lens I use most on this is the old Nikkor 105 f2.5 AIS with an F to M adapter which still has some pretty fast autofocus despite it's length and has produced some amazing results.
I also don't find it that loud but in comparison to the near dead silent native lenses I have I can see it seeming that way.
@jfourc I've heard about the mount issue and I bought my adapter used and use mostly long lenses on it I have seen no such evidence of it so far.
Anybody tried this w/ a Sony A6000?
Listed as "Compatible cameras: Sony A7 (II), Sony A7R (II), A6300, A6500, A9" but I'm thinking there's a decent chance it will work.
tw000I upgraded from the A7 to the A7II once it became clear that all the cool autofocus adapters really needed the newer AF design.
I am also curious where Inthishope read that the AF was inaccurate, I haven't noticed that with most of my M mount lenses. I love my Techart - with the Voigtlander 40/1.4 I have a really compact, fast, sharp setup.
