Techart PRO TZM-02 Leica M to Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter

Techart PRO TZM-02 Leica M to Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter

The Techart PRO TZM-02 autofocus adapter mounts Leica M-mount lenses on Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras while adding autofocus capability to compatible manual-focus lenses. This Version II design uses four radially positioned servo motors and four-axis support to move the mounted lens for focus adjustment through the Nikon camera's phase-detection autofocus system.

The TZM-02 is designed for photographers who want to retain Leica M lenses while gaining autofocus functions on Nikon Z bodies. Techart specifies compatibility with both full-frame and APS-C Nikon Z cameras, along with AF-S, AF-C, face detection, eye detection, and video autofocus support. A compact bulge-less housing also reduces interference with tripod plates and other camera accessories.

The adapter supports Nikon in-camera three-axis image stabilization and uses an optimized 4.5 mm focusing extension to balance autofocus travel and operating speed. Its metal construction and four-motor mechanism are designed to handle heavier lenses with improved stability. Additional lens-mount adapters can also be stacked in front of the TZM-02 for broader manual-lens compatibility, although specific lens combinations require their own appropriate adapter.
