Introducing the Tilta Nucleus Auto Focus Adapter

This Auto Focus Adapter bridges the gap between classic manual cinema lenses and modern autofocus workflows.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Nucleus-M II and Nano II Wireless Lens Control Systems, this innovative lens mount adapter converts fully manual cinema glass into responsive autofocus lenses.

This E-Mount to PL Mount Adapter utilizes the native phase-detection autofocus data directly from the sensor of the Sony FX3, FX30, FX6, or other supported cameras and translates the camera’s autofocus information into precise motor-driven focus movements via our Nucleus ecosystem. This adapter is compatible with Sony’s Alpha and FX line up to the Sony FX6.

The result is reliable autofocus performance that fully leverages your camera’s existing AF capabilities, including face detection and eye tracking, while retaining the tactile control cinematographers expect from professional manual lenses.

A built-in lens profile library eliminates calibration for supported lenses. Users with supported lenses can select their lens from the menu and start shooting right away.

For unsupported or specialty lenses, manual calibration allows users to map and save new lenses to the library. These lenses can be mapped directly through the UI on the adapter itself which makes it easy and convenient to add new lenses on the fly.

One of the system’s standout features is instant AF/MF override which allows users to seamlessly take manual control for precise focus pulls or creative racks, then release to return control to autofocus. Please note: Manual Override is only compatible with the Nucleus-M II FIZ Hand Unit at this time.

When using the system with two wireless motors, users can adjust the Iris via the camera’s electronic control.

More Mount Options will be available in the near future!

NOTE: This is not compatible with the Burano or FX9 due to physical clearance issues with the locking E-Mount.

Amazing Autofocus

I preordered it, and it was a great decision. The autofocus works super good, with precision, easy to use and really comfortable.

Legit!

So, I’d first like to say I am not a heavily experienced user with cinema glass, at all actually. Ever. But I bought this and the vespid2 35mm for my a7siii, and honestly within about 20 mins from opening the box, I had it rigged up and ready to go. It auto calibrated and I essentially could plug and play with it right away. Eye auto focus and touch tracking work great! The positioning of the power ports are a little annoying, and very difficult to use with my small rig cage; but everything can’t be perfect within brand new technology. This will be a piece of gear I’ll use beyond my a7siii, and will truly step up my game.

Great product, lots of quirks….

It’s awesome but the removal of my DZO Vespid One lens profiles set me back to a 5-6hr lens mapping. Customer support is helpful but ill equipped to handle the issues. Why you would create a lens mapping page in support to give all of your customers the options to add their lens profiles is beyond me. Most cages block to top menu buttons on the display and the usbc locations is well let’s just say challenging. Amazing amazing product but def a bit rushed to the market and that was after a 3 month delay. Tilta, cmon you can do better. Establish that lens profile page and have your engineers do the mapping not your customers! End of rant...

Tilta

Thank you for the feedback Johnny and sorry to hear about your issue with this! We are adding more lenses to the library with every update! When mapping your own lenses, we definitely recommend backing up the files to a computer or SSD to prevent issues like this, especially when updating the firmware. The menu on the adapter is fairly small, but we are hoping to release a way to control the menu via a smartphone in the near future! USB-C ports can also be difficult to access, which is why we recommend connecting the USB-C cables to the adapter before connecting it to the camera body. Just make sure you do not have the other ends connected to a power source until after the adapter is mounted to the camera!

Truly a game changer!

What an amazing product! I can now easily shoot solo with manual cinema glass. Even at wide open apertures, it's no problem. My particular lens set was already pre-loaded, so setup and lens swaps are incredibly easy. It's not 100% as solid as native Sony glass, but it's very close!
