The Tilta Nucleus Auto Focus Adapter bridges the gap between classic manual cinema lenses and modern autofocus workflows. This E-mount to PL-mount adapter uses the native phase-detection autofocus data from the camera's sensor and translates it into precise, motor-driven focus moves through the Nucleus ecosystem - giving you reliable autofocus, including face detection and eye tracking, while keeping the tactile feel of professional manual glass.

  • E-mount - compatible with Sony Alpha and FX bodies such as the FX3, FX30 and FX6.
  • PL-mount - built for rehoused vintage and high-end cinema lenses.
  • Lens library - load lens profiles quickly, or map and save your own through the on-unit UI.
  • Manual override - instant AF/MF control via the MF button on the Nucleus-M II FIZ hand unit.
  • Built for the Nucleus ecosystem - designed for the Nucleus-M II and Nucleus Nano II wireless lens control systems.

Please note: This adapter is not compatible with the Sony BURANO or FX9 due to physical clearance with the locking E-mount. The firmware does not currently support zoom functionality or 2×anamorphic lenses. Manual override is only available with the Nucleus-M II FIZ hand unit.
