Fotasy Nikon F Mount Lens to Nikon Z Mount Adapter, Nikon FTZ Mount Adapter, Nikon F Z Adapter, Nikon Z Adapter F Mount, fits Nikon F Mount Lens & Nikon Z Mirrorless Camera Z5 Z50 Z6 Z7 Z6 II Z7 II

This is a decidedly simple and unsexy FTZ adapter as far as looks go, but the most important aspect is that it works, and it works very well. If you have old Nikkor pre-autofocus lenses, this is about the cheapest option available for using it on a Z-mount camera. The build quality is, surprisingly for the price, very good. There's not much to it, but it's a solid chunk of aluminum with even black coating inside and out, anti-reflection ridges on the inside, positive pin latch and spring, and a separate spring loaded F-side mount. I have had no issues focusing to infinity, and screwing on a lens is smooth and basically like OEM Nikon. Once the lens is attached, there is the most minimum of back and forth movement with certain lenses due to pin clearances on the latch on the F-mount side (this is a similar level of play to the Nikon M2 macro tube). This is more than could be said for many much more expensive adapters that have brittle build quality with loose fit and trouble focusing to infinity. There are other FTZ adapters that offer a more seamless look with AI lenses such as the Shoten FZ1, but they look silly considering the price and quality of this adapter (though if you have a Nikon zF, I can totally understand the aesthetic angle). In fact, for the price you can buy several for your most used lenses, as I have one basically permanently attached to my Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 macro. So if you need a basic FTZ adapter, I highly recommend this.

I upgraded to a Z-mount system at the beginning of the year. I had two remaining F-mount lenses, both 30+ year old Nikon AF Nikkor lenses (the sort that have an aperture ring, and that use the in-body focus motor). I love both of those lenses, as they're great and have a lot of character, but I was ready to sell them off because I no longer have a body with the in-body motor, the Nikon FTZ adapter is also quite pricey for two lenses of this type. Spending that kind of money on an adapter for lenses that would be manual-focus only seemed like a poor choice. So I listed the lenses on several sites with the intent to sell them for whatever I could get out of them. It was a wrench to let them go (particularly as they both cover focal lengths I no longer have, and have pseudomacro close-focus options that I really like). Then I found this adapter on Amazon. For this price I figured it was worth a try. After all, I do really like these lenses, and there's no sense in splashing out a ton of money on an adapter that will require me to manually focus anyway. The build quality of this little gizmo is excellent. Both mounts are aluminum. They fit snugly on both the F mount side and the Z mount side. There is no play whatsoever. They feel totally solid on my camera and my lenses. I've set up several "Non-CPU lenses" in the camera's settings, which allows for the IBIS system to function at the focal length I'm using. While it is kind of a bummer not to have any metadata about my aperture, I expected that. If you, like me, have some older lenses from the film era (AF, AF-D, AI, AIS, etc.) for the venerable Nikon F-mount, this is a REALLY inexpensive way to use them with your new Z series camera. I wouldn't recommend using it with any of the "G" lenses that don't have an aperture ring (AF-S, AF-P). But if you don't mind manually adjusting your aperture and manually focusing your lenses, this is a really nice option. I'll likely pick up a second one so that I have one for each of these old lenses. Attached is a shot taken with the Nikon AF Nikkor 35-135mm f/3.5-4.5, using this adapter on a Nikon Z5. I'm using the lens in its pseudo-macro close focusing mode (@135mm, f/8, 1/40" ISO 6400 handheld - see? The IBIS is doing one heck of a job!).

This is a dumb adapter! Don't buy!!! It does not communicate with your camera electronically so your f stop will not work with this adpter! Cannot change the aperture. I had to find an adapter with aperture control. If you're going to advertise that it's compatible with the Nikon z cameras, make sure it's completely compatible! It's too late for me to return it now. I was working on my drone license and that's what took me so long to find out.

This is a well-made, all metal part, allows use of Nikon F lens on a Nikon Z camera. Purchased this converter to allow use of manual-focus F lenses on a Nikon Z8. The mount to the camera was secure and had a smooth fit. The same for attaching a Nikon 28mm Ais lens to the converter. This mount doesn't have any electrical contacts, strictly for non-cpu type lenses, with manual focus and aperture control. Adapter works as advertised and can allow non-cpu lenses to take advantage of the IBS (in-body-stabilization) of the Z8. Overall, a great bargain for the price ($17), very happy with this purchase. Rated 5-stars.

This is machined from a pretty thick solid chunk of aluminum, and it's nicely finished and does not look out of place on my Zf. However because of this it weighs nearly as much as a small prime lens. They certainly could have turned down the inside of this lens more to make the walls a lot thinner.
