[Davide DB]

Good news for owners of some of these well regarded lenses.

 

Monster Adapter is set to launch an F to Z mount adapter equipped with a motor to operate old AF-D lenses.

There has also been a rumor that Nikon will be producing such an adapter as well.

The devil will again be in the details.  For UW photographers the issue will likely be the box on the lens that holds the motor or battery presumably.  Will it fit through the dome port and second will it get in the way of a zoom ring?  I think For Nauticam where adapted lenses on the FTZ can use F mount zoom gears the zoom ring will be just above the lens mount.  I'm not sure all the housing makers have adopted method of placing the camera back in the housing to allow space for the FTZ adapter though.
