Nikon FTZ Mark II F-Mount to Z-Mount Lens Adapter

The Nikon FTZ Mark II is a dedicated lens mount adapter designed to bridge the gap between Nikon's extensive F-mount lens system and their newer Z-mount mirrorless camera bodies. It allows photographers to continue using their existing collection of F-mount Nikkor lenses, including AF-S, AF-P, and older D-type lenses, on a modern Z-series camera. This provides significant value and flexibility, enabling a smooth transition to mirrorless technology without requiring an immediate, complete investment in new native Z-mount optics. The adapter's key improvement over the original FTZ model is its more streamlined and ergonomic design, which omits the integrated tripod mount. This creates a slimmer profile that offers more comfortable finger placement during handling, particularly when the camera is used with a battery grip. Technologically, it maintains full electronic communication between the lens and camera body. This ensures that autofocus (AF), auto-exposure (AE), and in-lens Vibration Reduction (VR) functions remain operational with compatible lenses. It also retains infinity focus and features a standard 1/4"-20 tripod thread on its base for mounting. This adapter is ideally suited for Nikon photographers who are upgrading to a Z-mount mirrorless system, such as the Z 5, Z 6, Z 7, or Z 9, and wish to leverage their current lens investment. It is a practical and cost-effective solution for enthusiasts and professionals alike, facilitating a gradual lens upgrade path. The FTZ Mark II integrates seamlessly into a hybrid kit, ensuring that trusted F-mount lenses remain viable tools for both stills and video work on the latest camera platforms.
