Techart TZM-02 autofocus bayonet adapter - Leica M / Nikon Z

Overview

The Techart TZM-02 bayonet adapter is the successor to the well-received TZM-01 model. The device was created specifically for filmmakers and photographers in love with the images drawn by analog Leica M glass. With it, you can connect manual lenses to modern cameras and take advantage of the autofocus function - while shooting photos and videos!

Image Quality

By design, M system lenses are created for the best possible optical quality - without compromising on weight or material. They do not have an autofocus system that forces low lens weight and design concessions. Metal tubes and top-quality optics produce knockout results. Photos and videos captured with this equipment have their own unique character and are incredibly detailed and sharp. With manual sharpening, however, the time for taking photographs can become longer. The Techart TZM-02 autofocus bayonet adapter comes into play here, ensuring modern components and constantly developed software for instant and precise operation.

Autofocus in Film and Photography

The Techart TZM-02 autofocus bayonet adapter - Leica M / Nikon Z will prove itself not only in the hands of photographers but also filmmakers! The improved version of the device supports continuous autofocus (AF-C) used during video recording. The adapter also enables AF-S focusing, as well as support for Eye & Face AF technology, which focuses on the eyes or face. With the Techart TZM-02 bayonet adapter, you will successfully use your favorite lenses in sports or nature photography, where every second counts!

Refreshed Design

The Techart TZM-02 is the world's first bayonet adapter of its kind without protrusions. The round design ensures that when connecting additional accessories or installing a body on a tripod, no part will block access to the camera. Its ergonomic design and small size make this adapter even more practical and easy to carry.

Advanced Technology

The Techart TZM-02 adapter does not interfere with the operation of the lens mounted on it, does not move its rings, or add any optical element that could change the nature of the image created. The adapter is equipped with an extremely precise set of 4 servo motors that zoom the entire lens in and out of the photosensitive sensor. The built-in chip, in conjunction with the camera's electronics, determines the proper position of your glass, thus sharpening it at the desired point.

High Compatibility

The Techart TZM-02 autofocus bayonet adapter is equipped with 4 servo motors placed around the bayonet. Thanks to them, the adapter not only provides faster sharpening but is also capable of handling heavier lenses (up to 500g) without wobbling. The manufacturer assures that the lifting capacity of the device can be up to 2 kg if the lens is supported during operation. This means that you can connect an even wider range of analog lenses to your Nikon Z camera without worrying about their weight. The metal, well-fitted housing under which the motors are enclosed will also give you a sense of solidity and security.

Image Stabilization

Autofocus on classic manual lenses, the ability to focus up close, great compatibility, and perfect build quality. What more could you want? Techart engineers know the answer to this question - image stabilization. If your camera supports this feature, you will be able to take advantage of it. 3-axis image stabilization with analog lenses has finally become a reality!

Software Update

To ensure that your Techart TZM-02 bayonet adapter is always compatible with the latest lenses and cameras, the manufacturer allows you to update the software. Just connect the device to your computer and upload the latest software.

NOTE: The software of the Techart TZM-02 adapter, as well as the software of other bayonet adapters available on the market, bases its operation on the results of reverse engineering. Despite our sincerest intentions and the tremendous amount of work put into software development, we are unable to guarantee full functionality of the device with all lenses and cameras.
