Q: 1. Requesting HELP!!! I bought Viltrox EF-Z2 expecting to adapt Canon EF mount lenses like (Canon 50mm f1.4 as well as Sigma 18-35 F1.8 Art) on my Z6 and Z6 II. Unfortunately, neither of these lenses are being detected when it is connected via Viltrox adapter. The same lenses are working well on Canon bodies without any issue. I did update firmware of camera as well as Viltrox adapter with no luck to get it working. Question is, why lenses are not detected or the f number is not displayed (shows - -f) on Z6 & Z6 II? Expecting early response on this.

A: These issues come up a lot as Nikon has been aggressively releasing new firmware updates with new features and adapter manufacturer's like Viltrox cannot keep up. Viltrox would need to release a new firmware update that would make it work with the latest firmware in Nikon. Many users need to use the lens in manual focus manual exposure when an issue like this occurs or if it is within the return period, return the adapter.
