Viltrox has just released a new lens mount adapter that allows you to use Sony E-Mount lenses on Nikon Z cameras with autofocus capabilities: the Viltrox E-Z AF lens mount adapter. The adapter supports lens and in-body image stabilization, transmits EXIF data to your camera, and, of course, allows you to control your aperture directly in the camera. So, let’s take a closer look at it! Viltrox is a Chinese company that started in the photography and filmmaking industry by making lens mount adapters in 2009.
