Two new Kipon Nikon Z autofocus adapters to be announced in early 2019


Kipon is currently working on two new Nikon Z autofocus adapters:

  • Canon EF to Nikon Z autofocus adapter
  • Manual lens to Nikon Z autofocus adapter with built-in motor

Kipon will most likely announce the new Nikon Z AF adapters at the CP+ show in February 2019.

Kipon already announced 20 different non-AF Nikon Z lens adapters. New tilt-shift and focal reducer lines are also coming soon.

Kipon adapters are also sold at AdoramaAmazon and eBay.

Update: the adapters Kipon are developing are for both Nikon D and G lenses. Kipon might also develop an autofocus adapter for Nikon manual lenses.

Nikon D6 coming soon


Without going into details since I don’t want anyone to get in trouble, a professional photographer recently made a public statement that the Nikon D6 will be available for testing in February. I have already been reporting that the Nikon D6 is rumored for 2019. We will probably get the development announcement in January during the 2019 CES show (January 8-11) and the full details a few months later. Stay tuned!
