Viltrox releases cheaper $99 Sony E-mount to Nikon Z mount adapter

Fun times; there's an EtZ adapter thin as a CPL filter and costs just $99. Interesting to see how the reviews turn out to be but even if it's decent, it opens up a whole new world of options for Z mount system. I'm looking forward to the Sigma prime trio for e-mount specifically

E-mount has open APIs (even though Sony restricts some functionality to its own lenses) while both RF mount and Z mount are pretty closed. Both these older companies have also restricted third party lenses from releasing autofocus lenses for their mirrorless systems, while Sony has encouraged third party lens manufacturers. There has only been a slight relaxation in recent months.

These adapters will allow Nikon users to get access to better quality or better value glass as compared to some of Nikon's own products.
