[QUOTE="dieselnutjob, post: 813273, member: 47318"] I'm still annoyed that Nikon hasn't made an FTZ with a focus motor to drive the screw drive on AF/AF-D lenses. It's one of the road blocks that's stopping me going from an F mount body to a Z mount. I found out yesterday that there is a Megadap adapter (MTZ11) that converts Leica M to Z, and it [B]includes a focus motor[/B]. This works by telescoping the entire Leica lens in and out to focus it. I have even seen a video of a guy who converted Z to Leica M and then Leica M to F mount, and we able to autofocus [B]any [/B]F mount lense that way. The video of that is here [MEDIA=youtube]hdQbjznSm8A[/MEDIA] So if Megadap can make a Z adapter that has a motor why can't they can't they just slap an F mount on the front and connect the motor to a screw drive instead of the their telescope mechanism? There have clearly already cracked the electronics. I think that we should somehow be lobbying Megadap to make an FTZ with a screw drive if Nikon won't. What do people think? [/QUOTE]
