TimG 62 Posted March 10 Guys I'd welcome a bit of guidance please - I'm trying to help a friend with a Nikon Z7 in an Ikelite housing. He's using a Nikkor 16mm FE via the FTZ adaptor but reports focussing issues. Am I right in thinking there is no AF with the Nikkor 16mm FE on a Z body? If so, is that the case too for the Sigma 15mm FE? Is anyone aware of any current FF FE that will AF on a Z body? Many thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dhaas 40 Posted March 10 Tim, My good friend Glenn Ostle has been using his Nikon Z6 cameras in an Ikelite housing for a few years. I think he mostly has new Z lenses (24-70mm and 14-30mm) but uses Nikon macro lenses with his FTZ adapter. He may know as he's been a long time Nikon shooter. I believe he's just back from traveling so try and contact him through his web site link: https://featherandfins.smugmug.com Good luck! David Haas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimG 62 Posted March 10 Thanks David. I'll give him a shout. A couple of things I found on DPReview indicate that, no AF doesn't work on the Nikkor or Sigma FEs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This link confirms the 16mm AF-D is a screw type AF lens so it will not focus on the FTZ adapter. https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/1628af.htm The sigma lens copies the Nikkor and is also screw drive so no good. I suspect he would need the nikon 8-15 lens on the FTZ adapter. You might be able to use a Canon mount sigma fisheye on an EOS-nikon Z adapter as well.

TimG 62 Posted March 10 Thanks, Chris. I thought that was probably the case but just wanted to check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
