An update to my previous post about third party lens compatibility with the Nikon Z7 mirrorless camera – today Tokina published their test results and their current lenses showed no issues in general operations with the following exceptions:
- Tokina Opera 50mm f/1.4 FF lens: compared with general conditions AF speed is slower.
- Tokina AT-X 70-200mm f/4 FX VCM-S lens: AF communication error, however, the lens will operate normally in manual focus mode.
Due to FTZ adapter specifications, the following Tokina lenses will not autofocus but will work in manual focus:
