Nikon FTZ

Lenses like this are why FTZ and F mount glass will remain relevant for awhile. A stupid-fast 105 is not even on the lens roadmap yet and we don’t when/if it will ever be made for Z mount. And the AF works even better on the new Z bodies compared to D750/D850. This lens is a legend, and I’m keeping it forever.

My only real gripes are the price and the issue with quick-release plates getting in the way of mounting the adapter. If those aren't deal breakers, you'll be happy with what the FTZ Adapter brings to the table.

I would think most of the ultra-wide use in Iceland would be landscape things and you're probably going to want more DOF, not less. The f/4 Z mount lenses are pretty much just as sharp as the F mount f/2.8s, and you get a smaller, easier to travel and pack with lens. I'm pretty happy with my 70-200 VR II on the FTZ adapter with my Z 6II.

This thing is adequate for mounting a Nikon "F" mount lens to the Z mount camera. However, it is very tight fitting on the lens end (the camera mount end seems to fit much better). Also, the tripod foot should have been removable as other manufacturers do. When setting this down on a table the camer...

I use the FTZ with my F glass (14-24 2.8, 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8) and it works fantastic. Sure, it's an extra 4.8g but it beats rebuying brand new glass for what I use it for.

Not quite the value proposition that I was hoping for. My basic issue is that AF functions on my Nikon full frame lenses don’t work. Not a one. So don’t expect any functionality with that. For a longer lens, that isn’t such an issue. For a macro lens, this is pretty troubling. At least the focus ind...

You don't need new lenses with the FTZ but it does give you the option to use Z lenses in the future. The two hour battery life is an egregious under estimate. I've done over 1k shots spread over 6+ hours on a battery before changing it early. Just don't keep live view on full time and the power draw is similar to a DSLR at idle.

yes it works well with recent lenses and even 3rd party ones like Tamron and Sigma. However there are several issues: 1- The tripod mount location is weird and in the way if you use the camera on a tripod. 2- I wished they had engineered a way to support older lenses, or maybe offer another Adapter ...

I just got a new Z5 with FTZ a few days ago. I'm adapting an AF-S 50mm f/1.4, and an AF-S 35mm f/1.8. I've noticed that when I have it in AF-C mode for both lenses, the camera rarely stops micro-adjusting the focus, even if the thing I am focusing on is not moving.

Loved the adapter until I realized all my fast nikkkor f-mount glass didn’t autofocus with it... sigh. (I read it does work with the really new line of Nikon lenses that have built in motors though) So unless I’m working in the studio or shooting personal and tripod work this baby is pointless.
