Fotasy Nikkor F Mount Lens to Z Mount Adapter, FTZ Mount Adapter, Nikkor F Z Adapter, F to Z Adapter, Compatible with Nikon Z Mount Mirrorless Camera Z 30 Z 50 Z 5 Z 6 Z 7 Z 6II Z 7II z fc Z 9

These work great and are inexpensive enough to keep some mounted on your favorite manual focus Nikkor lenses, keeping them ready to use on your Nikon Z series cameras. The first one I bought was a very tight fit on my Z 7II, but the others fit nicely.

Great budget solution for anyone looking to use screwdriver style AF lenses, or manual focus F mount lenses. Aperture control works great, easy to control with fairly fine steps. Mounts easily to my Z6ii and older AF screwdriver style lenses. Fitment is great, almost a tighter fit than my Nikon FTZ II, great build quality over all. Design doesn't stand out against Nikon lenses and cameras.

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 blunder may have been on me. But none the less. This product did not work as advretised.

Item sent had obvious signs of having been used. I was expecting a new item.

I bought this for my Nikon Z5 to use vintage Nikon F mount manual lenses. As clearly described in the product listing, this does not pass any electrical contacts and therefore no lens sensing, auto focus, or auto-aperture, which makes it ideal for my manual lenses.I borrowed a fully active Nikon ZTF v1 adapter with the tripod mount, and this Fotasy has a much nicer build quality and feel, and also avoids the tripod mount bump that gets in the way more than I thought it would.After a day of shooting with it, and changing lenses a few times, there's nothing I would change. I was nervous it might introduce vignetting, but I did not notice any beyond what the lenses already did on my 35mm Nikon FM.Based on this product working as well as it does, I'm going to just stick with this, my existing manual lenses, and Z-mount going forward.If you have newer F mount lenses with auto-focus and auto-aperture, you may want to go with the Nikon adapters, but for manual lenses I prefer this (not to mention being 1/10th the price!)

If you understand what this does, and doesn't do, and you are not trying to get a cheap version of something else, this adapter works great.I have a rather large number of genuine Nikkor lenses - all manual focus, AI, AI-S, and even 2 pre-AI. They work very well with this adapter.What it does for me:1) I can focus, manually only2) Adjust aperture (on the lens only)3) Shoot in manual or Aperture Preferred modes onlyIn essence, I can do everything that my lenses were designed to do on the cameras they were designed to work on. Even my 500mm mirror, Micro Nikkors, Extension tubes, and bellows, work very wellIssues to be aware of;1) The focal length remains the same, so they behave the same as ever on full size sensors. On compact sensor cameras (Such as the Zfc) they are all 'longer' by a factor of 1.7, so that 500mm lens is now effectively a 860, a 105 is now effectively 178. Wide angle will no longer be wide angles or at least much less so.2) Unlike "Speed Booster" adapters, your aperture remains exactly the same - f 1.4 remains f 1.4, f 4.5 is still f 4.5 and so on.3) The lenses are now "pre set "- there is no auto diaphragm. The electronic viewfinder compensates somewhat, but by f 11 or so it is noticeably darker.4) It is a tad short so your lenses will focus past infinity, pay attention.Realize that if you put it on a good quality lens you will be able to get good quality pictures. Zooming in in Photoshop demonstrates that older nikkors can still compete with modern lenses so far as sharpness, contrast, etc., go. Haven't tried the built in coYou put it on a 40 year old cheap lens then you'll not be happy.Lastly, it is machined well, goes on and comes off smooth, doesn't wobble, satin finish black paint doesn't look bad on the camera, and the release button is more than up to the task on current versions.Overall, for under $20 I am very happy.
