Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter

Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter
Streamlined F-Mount to Z-Mount Adapter – Grip-Friendly Profile, Full AF/AE Support with AF-S/AF-P/AF-I Lenses & Weather-Sealed Magnesium Build
The Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter is a highly streamlined, precision-engineered lens adapter designed to bridge the gap between Nikon’s classic F-mount SLR lenses and their modern Z-mount mirrorless camera bodies. Featuring the exact same internal optical performance and functionality as the original FTZ adapter, the FTZ II sports a completely redesigned exterior. By removing the built-in tripod mount foot and minimizing physical projections, this adapter offers a much sleeker, low-profile fit. This makes it exceptionally comfortable and highly practical when shooting with Z-mount cameras that feature integrated vertical grips (like the Z9) or when utilizing external battery grips and wireless transmitters.

Built to professional standards, the FTZ II enables the adaptation of approximately 360 distinct F-mount NIKKOR lenses. It is particularly optimized for over 90 AF-S, AF-I, and AF-P type D, E, and G lenses, where it preserves full autofocus, auto-exposure, and metering capabilities. Constructed with a robust magnesium alloy chassis and comprehensive weather-sealing, the FTZ II matches the rugged, dust- and moisture-resistant standards of Nikon’s professional cameras, allowing you to use your legacy glass in challenging environments.

Key Features & Design Architecture
Grip-Optimized Streamlined Profile: Eliminates the physical tripod foot found on the first-generation adapter. This reduction in overall size provides comfortable clearance for fingers and accessories when using portrait battery grips, wireless modules, or vertical-grip bodies.

Preserved Autofocus & Auto-Exposure: Fully maintains high-speed autofocus, electronic aperture control, and full auto-exposure metering modes when paired with modern AF-S, AF-I, and AF-P lenses.

Pro-Tier Weather-Sealed Build: Crafted with a magnesium alloy barrel and comprehensive rubber gaskets, providing dust and moisture resistance to protect your camera system’s electronic connection points in harsh weather.

In-Camera VR Support: When adapting an F-mount lens with built-in Vibration Reduction (VR), the adapter supports the lens’s optical stabilization. If using a non-VR F-mount lens, the Z-mount camera’s in-body image stabilization (IBIS) will automatically provide multi-axis shake correction.
