Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter

Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter
The Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter is a second-generation, highly streamlined lens adapter engineered to seamlessly bridge legacy Nikon F-mount SLR lenses with advanced Z-mount mirrorless camera bodies. Delivering the exact same hardware functionality as the original FTZ adapter, the FTZ II features a redesigned, sleek chassis that removes the integrated tripod mount foot. This significant reduction in physical profile provides maximum comfort and unhindered clearance when operating Z-mount cameras equipped with an integrated vertical battery grip, an attached battery pack, or wireless transmitter accessories.

Streamlined Ergonomics & Battery Grip Compatibility
Grip-Optimized Form Factor: By eliminating the protruding tripod foot found on the first-generation adapter, the FTZ II offers a smooth, minimal projection profile. This grants your fingers ample room when wrapping around vertical camera grips and ensures seamless landscape-to-portrait orientation shifts.

Magnesium Alloy Chassis: Constructed from premium, lightweight, and rigid magnesium alloy to easily handle the structural weight of heavy, professional-grade super-telephoto lenses.

Pro-Tier Weather Sealing: Built with extensive dust- and moisture-resistant rubber gaskets matching the robust weather-proofing of Nikon’s sports-tier Z-mount mirrorless camera bodies.

Comprehensive F-Mount Lens Compatibility Matrix
The FTZ II adapter enables the physical deployment of approximately 360 distinct F-mount NIKKOR lenses onto Z-mount mirrorless systems. Depending on the mechanical and electronic generation of your lens, functionality scales across the following matrices:

Full Autofocus & Auto-Exposure Support
Compatible Lens Types: AF-S (Types G, E, and D), AF-P (Types G and E), and AF-I (Type D).

Supported Features: Full high-speed autofocus, manual focus with electronic rangefinder confirmation, full auto-exposure modes, and multi-zone exposure metering.

Limited Electronic / Manual Focus Only Support
AF Types G and D: Supports manual focus only (with electronic rangefinder focus assistance), full auto-exposure modes, and exposure metering. Note: Autofocus is not supported as these legacy lenses rely on a mechanical camera-body screw-drive motor which mirrorless bodies lack.

Other AF / Legacy Autofocus Lenses: Manual focus only, full auto-exposure modes, and standard exposure metering.

Manual Focus Lens Interaction
PC-E NIKKOR Series & PC 19mm f/4E ED: Manual focus only, full auto-exposure modes, and exposure metering.

PC Micro 85mm f/2.8D: Manual focus only, manual exposure mode only, and standard exposure metering.

AI-P Lenses: Manual focus only, full auto-exposure modes, and exposure metering.

Non-CPU AI, AI-Modified NIKKOR, or Series E Lenses: Manual focus only. Supports traditional Aperture-Priority (A) and Manual (M) exposure controls, alongside all camera exposure metering modes except for highlight-weighted metering.
