Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter

Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter
The Nikon FTZ II is the second-generation bridge between legendary F-mount SLR lenses and the innovative Z-mount mirrorless system. Re-engineered with a streamlined design, the FTZ II provides the exact same high-performance functionality as the original adapter but with a sleeker profile. By removing the integrated tripod mount, it offers significantly better clearance and comfort for photographers using camera bodies with vertical battery grips (like the Z9) or attached wireless transmitters.

Seamless Performance and Integration
Extensive Compatibility: The FTZ II enables the use of approximately 360 different F-mount lenses on Z-series bodies.

Full AF/AE Support: When paired with over 90 AF-S and AF-P (type D, E, and G) lenses, the adapter fully maintains lightning-fast autofocus and auto-exposure capabilities, making your transition to mirrorless feel completely native.

Magnesium Alloy Build: Constructed from high-strength magnesium alloy, the adapter is built to handle heavy professional telephoto glass while remaining lightweight.

Weather-Sealed: Designed for the field, the FTZ II features robust weather sealing to match the durability of Nikon’s professional Z-mount bodies and F-mount lenses.

Detailed Lens Compatibility
The FTZ II supports a wide variety of lens generations with varying levels of integration:

AF-S / AF-P / AF-I (Type G, E, D): Full support for Autofocus, Exposure Metering, and Auto-Exposure modes.

AF (Type G and D): Manual Focus only (with electronic rangefinder support), but maintains full Auto-Exposure and Metering.

PC-E / PC 19mm f/4E: Manual Focus only, full Auto-Exposure and Metering.

AI-P: Manual Focus only, full Auto-Exposure and Metering.

Non-CPU (AI, Series E): Manual Focus only, Aperture-Priority and Manual exposure modes.

Key Improvements Over Original FTZ
Battery Grip Friendly: The removal of the tripod foot allows for an unobstructed grip when shooting vertically, preventing interference with your fingers or the camera’s built-in grip.

Reduced Footprint: The sleeker bottom profile makes it easier to mount the camera on various tripod plates and gimbals without the adapter hitting the mounting hardware.
