Viltrox's new E-mount toImage: Viltrox Companies like Viltrox and Sirui have been putting out Z-mount autofocus primes for a while and Tamron has released a few zoom lenses, but it's still easy to be frustrated with Nikon's... selectiveness as to which third-party lenses are allowed on its system. And while the Z mount's design lets you adapt lenses from many other mounts, the adapters can be expensive if you want to use autofocus. Viltrox is looking to change that. Its new E-Z AF adapter lets you mount lenses made for Sony's system to your Nikon camera, and the company says it supports "fast and precise autofocus" and EXIF data transmission.
