Megadap camera lens adapters
Megadap is a Hong Kong third-party manufacturer focused on autofocus bridges into Nikon Z. The ETZ21 Pro (2022) is the dominant Sony FE / E → Nikon Z adapter, preserving full PDAF, Eye-AF, in-lens IS, and electronic aperture with USB-C firmware updates and a maintained per-lens compatibility list. The MTZ11 (2023) is the Z-mount counterpart to Techart's LM-EA9 — a motorised mechanical-AF adapter that autofocuses any Leica M-mount rangefinder lens on a Z body. The 2 mm flange clearance from E to Z makes the ETZ21 a thin ring; tripod-collared support is recommended for any lens over ~1 kg.

Motorised mechanical-AF adapter: a 4.5 mm voice-coil tube physically extends the rear flange to drive autofocus on M-mount rangefinder glass — the Nikon-Z counterpart to Techart's LM-EA9 for Sony.

Common questions
- Is the Megadap ETZ21 Pro compatible with every Sony FE lens?
- Almost — Megadap maintains a public per-lens compatibility chart at megadap.net covering Sony FE first-party (G / GM lines), Tamron Di III, Sigma DG DN, Voigtländer FE AF, and Samyang AF FE. The high-volume native FE lenses (24-70 GM II, 70-200 GM II, 85 GM, 50 GM, 35 GM, 16-35 GM II) all preserve full PDAF + Eye-AF + IS + electronic aperture on Z6 / Z7 / Z8 / Z9 / Z6 III / Zf. A few edge cases — original 24-70 GM I tracking quirks, certain Samyang AF firmwares — are flagged on the chart. Firmware updates over USB-C address new lenses; the chart is updated monthly or so.
- Does the Megadap MTZ11 preserve aperture control on Leica M lenses?
- Leica M-mount lenses have a mechanical aperture ring — aperture is set by rotating the ring on the lens itself, just like on a native M body. The MTZ11 doesn't intermediate aperture (there's no electronic protocol to pass; M lenses don't carry electrical contacts). What the MTZ11 does is drive autofocus via a motorised tube (same approach as Techart's LM-EA9), shifting the entire lens forward / back to focus on a Nikon Z body. So aperture is fully under your manual control on the lens ring; focus is automatic via the adapter.
- How do I update Megadap firmware?
- All Megadap adapters with USB-C ports (ETZ21 Pro, MTZ11, and the newer Z-mount line) update via a small Windows / macOS utility downloadable from megadap.net. Plug the adapter into a computer with USB-C cable, run the utility, the adapter is detected and flashed in ~30 seconds. Released firmware versions and changelogs are listed on the support page; Megadap is one of the most transparent third-party adapter makers on update cadence, typically pushing 4-6 firmware revisions per year tied to new Sony / Nikon body releases.
