Metabones MBSPNFG-NZ-BM1 Overview
This Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter from Metabones allows a Nikon F-mount lens to be mounted onto a Nikon Z-mount camera. The adapter helps maximize the apparent angle of view of the lens while providing a 1-stop increase for the camera over the lens's aperture range.
The adapter is constructed from aluminum alloy for durability while minimizing weight. The mounting rings are made with brass to further prevent wear and tear. Inside the adapter are five lens elements in four groups. For improved prevention of internal ghosting and reflections, the lens elements are constructed from high-index tantalum-based glass. A detachable tripod foot offers 1/4"-20 threads and an Arca-type dovetail.
The adapter does not support electronic communication between a lens and camera. An aperture dial is built in for aperture control of Nikon G-type lenses, which do not have an aperture ring. Nikon AI or many post-Nikon AI lenses can have their aperture settings widened or narrowed using their built-in aperture control rings if preferred.
