Product Details / Description:

Renting the FTZ II Mount Adapter is the most cost-effective way to gain access to a wide variety of specialist or classic F-mount lenses during your trip to Japan. Whether you need an exotic telephoto, a tilt-shift, or simply want to use a favorite lens you already own, this adapter ensures complete compatibility.

About the Product

The Mount Adapter FTZ II is a dedicated bridge between the Z-mount and F-mount, maintaining crucial electronic communication. This ensures fast data transfer for accurate autofocus, stable auto exposure, and effective Vibration Reduction (VR), whether provided by the lens or by the camera’s in-body VR.

The redesign of the FTZ II eliminated the small, non-removable tripod foot found on the original FTZ, resulting in a smoother profile. This makes it easier to use with a tripod and, crucially, improves ergonomics when shooting with Z cameras equipped with battery grips or L-brackets, offering a more stable and professional setup.

Faqs:

What is the key difference between the original FTZ and the FTZ II?

The main difference is the physical design. The FTZ II has a much slimmer, less obstructive design because it lacks the built-in tripod foot of the original. This gives better clearance and ergonomics, especially when using a vertical grip or L-bracket on the camera.

Will my old NIKKOR F lens automatically focus using this adapter?

Autofocus (AF) is supported only with modern NIKKOR F lenses that have a built-in focusing motor (AF-P, AF-S, and AF-I type lenses). Older F lenses that require a motor in the camera body (like AF-D lenses) will support Auto Exposure (AE) but must be focused manually.

Does using the adapter affect image quality?

No, the FTZ II is purely a mechanical and electrical interface; it contains no glass elements. Therefore, it has no impact on the optical quality of the F-mount lens you attach.

Will the Vibration Reduction (VR) feature still work?

Yes. If you use a non-VR F-mount lens, the Z camera’s powerful in-body Vibration Reduction (IBIS) will provide stabilization. If you use a VR F-mount lens, the camera and lens systems will typically work together for maximum stabilization.

What does “AE shooting is possible” mean for manual focus lenses?

It means that even when using older, manual focus F-mount lenses (like AI NIKKORs), the camera can still automatically calculate and set the correct exposure (shutter speed and ISO) based on the aperture you set, which is a major convenience.
