Hi @Walt Stearns Just found this post and I am very interested in finding about more about how a Canon EF lens works on a Z8 camera with the Fringer II adapter and a TC. I am currently in the process of migrating from an OM-1 to a Z8. I use a zoom fisheye setup in my OM-1 with the Canon EF 8-15 and a metabones smart adapter which works great. I thought it was not possible to use a Canon lens in a Z camera but it looks like it is! So my question is, do you think the Canon EF 8-15 + Fringer II + Kenko 1.4 DGX would work in continuous autofocus and 3d tracking? In the second hand market the Nikon 8-15 appears to be almost double the price of the Canon. Also are the ports required the same as if you were mounting the nikon 8-15 as in the Nauticam port chart? I would not want to compromise on autofocus capabilities if that is the trade off. Thanks

Thank you. Yes I meant the collar is not long enough so cannot fit the retaining o-ring. This clarifies and confirms I currently have a 32205 but I need a 32203 to fit my NA Z8 housing https://www.nauticam.cn/upload/portal/20190124/201901241132017209.pdf My confusion came from the fact that the description for the 32203 says 'DSLR' which the Z8 is not so I assumed I needed a MIL collar adapter instead of a DSLR collar adapter. It looks like the old 45 DSLR viewfinder just works on the Z8 https://waterpixels.net/forums/topic/3071-questions-about-45%C2%B0-viewfinder-na-32203/#findComment-20934 I will ask my Nauticam dealer anyway but I wanted to avoid the 'is not fully compatible' response as I understand this can be resolved by reducing the viewfinder size on the Z8 to small which has appeared in multiple posts already.

Hi Dave, I have been using the attached 45 viewfinder with my Nauticam OM-1 housing and wanted to use the same viewfinder with a Z8 housing however it does not appear to fit well as it is 'too short'. I have seen different collar adapters online but I am not sure which one I need as I dont know the exact model of my viewfinder, it could be a na-32205 or na-32203. Does anyone know what collar adapter I need for it to work with a Nauticam Z8? Thanks

Thanks, do you also print your designs to sell? I would be interested in the 24-50 and 8-15 with TC zoom gears.

Thanks guys. Went for a Nauticam Z8 housing in the end as I already own the Z8 for topside photography.

Ah yes! I saw your creations here https://waterpixels.net/forums/topic/671-proven-3d-printed-parts-for-underwater-imaging/ Super useful and I will definitely be printing the TC zoom gear version for the 8-15 and the 24-50 zoom gear too when I pull the trigger on the Z5 II...

Thanks mate, appreciated.

Does anyone know if continuous autofocus with 3D tracking works on the Z bodies with the 8-15 + FTZ + Kenko TC DG combination?

Thank you, yes AF area point presets do help a lot with focusing in low viz with the OM1 I find.

Hi @Chris Ross , I have version 1 of the EF to m43 Metabones adapter and I am having issues with AF-C to the point I can only use it with AF-S which is not great for moving subjects and forces me to recompose all the time or get the odd blurry shot every now and then. I am running the latest firmware on the adapter and the camera (OM-1). I was wondering if version II which claims to have full PDAF compatibility has this issue. Have you used the 8-15 with AF-C or AF-C + tracking? Cheers
