Get the Tilta Nucleus Autofocus Adapter here: geni.us/xfAjOKT
In this video, we’re reviewing the Tilta Nucleus Autofocus Adapter. This interesting piece of camera gear is a PL adapter for Sony E-mount. However, it transfers Sony’s built-in native autofocus system to the adapter. This allows you to get Sony autofocus on any PL manual cinema lens.
For solo shooters or small filmmaking crews, having autofocus for cinema lenses or autofocus for PL lenses is a serious game changer. However, how good does the Tilta Nucleus Autofocus Adapter work?
We've seen a similar product from Viltrox NexusFocus F1, so which one is better?
