Voigtlander will do better bring back some SL lenses to the market or make a Nikon to Nex adapter, rather than addressing some weird mounts.
Agree this is not a common mount. Was surprised to see this release.
There are lots of ways to have a Nikon on E mount. Why wait for Voigtlander?
that RX10 hand hand grip it looks more like a spacer to me.
I see absolutely no point to the ‘grip’! It doesn’t provide portrait shooting, or more batteries and controls, it doesn’t aid holding and likely doesn’t improve balance or ergonomics. All it does do is get in the way of overhead shooting!
The display has too little tilt down as it is, but to prevent it altogether is a nonsense, so you have to ask what is this item for and who on earth would buy one?
If you take time to watch the pics at dc.fever you’ll magically notice that the screen is not blocked by this grip: it’s cut in such a way that the screen can tilt down.
Nevertheless your observation being true (partially), maybe somebody with big hands might find it useful anyway.
Wow great idea! I have the adapter and the Nikon and Contax lenses.
Yawn.
You can make your own contax/nikon-s to Nex adapter (it will let you do close and past infinity focus) for about 80 euros including a Helios-103 lens in the price:
