No autofocus screw type motor to AF classic Nikon Zooms and lenses like the 85mm F1.4 afd Bokeh King. That would have been nice. Only AF with AFS lenses.
Commlite Electronic adapter is ENF-E(1) is designed with internal aperture motor as well as the electronic contact, which can help to support Auto-focus (our version one adapter can support AF AF-S internal motor lens), and making your working smoothly like the original E-camera and its lens matches => I believe there is a screw motor, aperture motor does not make sense, it must be autofocus motor. AF external motor and AF-S internal motor seem to be supported, just bad translated.
The new video on Nikon Rumors show that AF works with D lenses.

Test 9 @ 4:45 Nikkor AF 17-35mm f2.8D is tested. However this is an AF-S D lens, so no conclusion on AF lenses.
What I would like to know is whether this will allow the camera to set the aperture in non Nikon-E lenses (e.g. G lenses) and whether this will be recorded in EXIF.
From looking at the pictures, I can’t see any external manual controls to set the aperture (like on the Metabones adapters) so it’s looking promising…
It states: transmit the EXIF signals => should be everything the lens sends in exif // Commlite Electronic adapter ENF-E(1) supports the Aperture Control, e,g.: one can adjust the Aperture from camera end directly to control the lens’ actual aperture. The adapter currently supports the EMD and Pull rod aperture lens => pretty clearly all lenses are supported through the pull rod.
Thanks for confirming! I was hoping that this was the case when I couldn’t see any manual aperture controls on the adapter. Hopefully these guys make this firmware updatable and/or Metabones follow suit.
Ask Jimmy Goodwood to confirm. At this moment we have nothing but sales talk.
I ordered one a few weeks ago. They emailed me today to say that they will be shipping on the 23rd, or 24th. I would like to know if it will be firmware updatable. Guess I will see in a few more weeks.
Keep us posted, did it evolve since Matt Granger looked at it?
I will post my initial thoughts once I get it in my hands.
This kind of proves that a Nikon F mount mirrorless is perfectly feasible. Just imagine the A7 with the adapter permanently attached – it is not that bigger.
Couldn’t they find a better lens to demo their wonderful new product than an old broken DX kit lens?
Another mail in the DSLR coffin.
Is this thing even real? I don’t find anywhere to buy it.
