Which Adapter for Zeiss ZF.2?

[filmrebel13]

Hi, I'm planning on purchasing some lenses soon, the Zeiss ZF.2 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/818446-REG/Zeiss_410951_0000_033_ZF_2_SLR_5_Lens_Bundle.html and I was wondering what adapter would work best with the FS100? I was considering this one: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/737925-REG/Novoflex_NEX_NIK_Adapter_for_Nikon_Lens.html but I'm not sure. Are there any others, or is this the correct one to use with these lenses? Thanks.

The adapter you posted is the same one that I use with my zeiss zf 50mm, its a great adapter.

That's the one I use with those lenses. It works well and the build quality seems good, but I recommend that you try it on your camera in the store and make sure that it clicks into place. Mine did not click. I took it back and they tried it and another adaptor (same model) on three FS100 bodies. They clicked into place on 1 of 3. It seems they are built with very little margin of error. Small variations in the bodies can be enough to put the locking mechanism out of alignment. In the end, with my permission, the guys at the store used a dremmel to make the locking hole on the adaptor a fraction of a millimetre bigger and it clicked into place beautifully.

I have the MTF Services adapter. It costs more, but it is solid as hell and can handle heavy lenses. It works perfectly. It permanently lives on my camera.
