New Megadap ETZ21 Pro+ Sony E-Mount Lens to Nikon Z-Mount Autofocus Adapter

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 1, 2026

The new Megadap ETZ21 Pro+ Sony E-Mount Lens to Nikon Z-Mount Autofocus Adapter is now available from B&H Photo.

  • Enhanced support for heavier lenses: improved structural design to handle bulkier cinema primes, zooms, or lenses with matte boxes or follow-focus rigs.
  • Locking mechanism: it provides a more secure mount to prevent unintended rotation or loosening during dynamic shooting.
  • Full autofocus, auto exposure, aperture control, IBIS communication, and EXIF data transfer (same electronic capabilities as the Pro+).

Here are some reels of the new adapter:
