Cost (as of 08/18/2018): Viltrox NF-E1 Adapter = $147 USD (EBay) Commlite ENF-E1 PRO Adapter = $297 USD (EBay) Winner: Viltrox

Build Quality: Viltrox = Lightweight cheap plastic barrel and possibly plastic mounts Commlite = All metal barrel and mount Winner: Commlite

Operation: Viltrox: Very snappy and smooth aperture operation Commlite: Also snappy, aperture operation not as smooth with some lenses Winner: Viltrox - The lenses it works with operate exceptionally well

Lens Compatibility: Viltrox: As of FW 1.2 / surprise lens that works well - Nikon 300 f4 AF-S / very useable Commlite: As of FW .06 / suprise lens that works well - Nikon 20mm 1.8 AF-S / near native Winner: Tie - Each adapter works well with certain lenses, depends on usage

Overall: Viltrox: Cheap build, but cheaper price, slightly better feeling operation Commlite: Excellent build, but more expensive, better compatibility with lenses except 300mm

Overall Winner: UPDATE: I change my vote to the Commlite ENF-E1 Pro adapter. I ended up returning the Viltrox due to poor build quality!

I will have to give it to the Viltrox, you can buy almost two Viltrox adapters for the price of one Commlite (especially with the occasional EBay discount promo codes). Also according to the Viltrox compatibility chart, it can work with the Sigma 20mm 1.4 Art if you really need a 20mm. The big surprise is just how well it works with the Nikon 300mm f4 AF-S lens. That lens used can be picked up used anywhere from $450 to $700 USD. I'd say it's at about 80% performance on a Sony body (compared to a Nikon), but that 20% performance loss is made up by gaining 5-axis IBIS and much more precise focus due to OSPDAF.

The only issue with the Viltrox is the poor build quality. I'm not sure why they went with a cheap outer housing, considering you can buy cheaper Canon AF adapters that are all metal.

Anyways, hope this helps!

Okay, so after shooting with the Viltrox, I've noticed something odd with it. It's considerably narrow for an adapter, especially compared to the Commlite and even other lens adapters I've used for Sony. When shooting, it displays a hallow/vignette effect on the images, something that doesn't appear on the Commlite adapter images. I'm wondering if they undersized this adapter a little bit too much or expect the shooter to use Nikon lens profiles in raw?

I just want to add to this thread that there are several clones of the Commlite ENF-E1 PRO adapter, which are essentially the same adapter but rebadged:

- Fotodiox Fusion Smart Adapter Mark II - Vello Select LAE-SE-NFV5 Adapter

A good reason to get either the Fotodiox or Vello versions is for warranty purposes especially if you're in the US. I doubt you'll have much luck dealing with Commlite from overseas. Also if you do searches, you might be able to find these adapters for sale used and at much cheaper prices than the Commlite version!

  Thanks for sharing this.

I've pulled the trigger on the Commlite. It's supposed to work with the 18-35mm G and may work with the 300mm PF.

There's some material here as well: Three Adapter Options To Use Nikon Lenses With Sony Mirrorless (Nikon F to Sony E) - DIY Photography

From my last test, it was a no-go with the 18-35mm G and Commlite with FW .06 on an A7 III with the earlier FW 1.xx. It may work with the Viltrox, but I wasn't able to confirm. Which body are you using by the way? Can you report back with the 300mm PF? Some people said the 300mm f4 AF-S non-VR was decent, but I tried it on the Commlite and to me it wasn't very snappy or accurate.

Hmm. The 18-35mm is supposed to work acc to the Vello compatibility table Another member here posted about the 300 PF mostly working. The body is the A9. Suck it and see.

So here's some comments about the A9, Commlite V6 and Nikon 300mm PF, from just a half an hour of play.

I tried 3 AF areas: wide, large spot and small spot. The test was cars coming and going in my street in full sun.

So, no, the AF isn't that snappy and fairly often with large spot it failed altogether. But that may have been due to a lack of contrast/verticals on some vehicles. It also didn't want to work in any setting while close to the cars.

I also tried the Nikon 1.4x TC in the mix and didn't see any obvious differences.

Exposure was fine.

So this is a very limited test but FWIW so far I think these combos may be usable in action shooting if you can live with a lowish keeper rate and don't need to be close.

Just tried the Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 on the Commlite ENF-E1 PRO and got no AF at all.

Are you running the latest A9 firmware? I have a 300mm f4 PF VR on order and I was hoping to use it on my A7III. I'll report back when I receive it, performance may differ on the A7III.

Yes and yes. The IQ is great with that lens and it's so light and compact. But as a bird shooter I don't think it's going to do the job on the A9.

The lens arrives tomorrow for me. I don't plan to shoot any birds, but I'll most likely use it for daytime sports action. I also have the Sigma 120-300mm 2.8 S, but if I like the 300mm PF more, I'm probably going to sell the Sigma to lighten the load.

I've been using it with a 1.4 TC and D500. The images can be superb and I'll miss it but it's just too short.

Interesting to see. Thanks for posting. BTW some blurring with this lens on Nikon bodies was fixed by a firmware update addressing VR at c. 1/125s. Had no problem myself with a D500.

I checked my serial number and my lens should have the updated FW. I'll have to do more testing on my D750, but some people are saying it might be more apparent on this body.
