NIKON FTZ II MOUNT ADAPTER - SECOND HAND

Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter – Second Hand The Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter – Second Hand is an essential accessory for Nikon Z-series mirrorless photographers who want to continue using their existing collection of Nikon F-mount NIKKOR lenses while taking advantage of the performance and technology offered by Nikon Z-mount camera bodies. Designed as an updated, streamlined version of the original FTZ adapter, the FTZ II features a compact design without the original tripod-mount protrusion, providing improved handling and additional clearance when shooting vertically or when using cameras with integrated or optional battery grips. The adapter maintains the correct flange distance between compatible F-mount lenses and Z-series cameras, allowing photographers to retain the intended optical performance and field of view characteristics of their lenses. With compatible AF-S, AF-P and AF-I NIKKOR lenses, autofocus and automatic exposure functionality can be maintained, while Nikon Z-series in-body Vibration Reduction can provide stabilisation benefits with a wide range of adapted lenses. Importantly, the FTZ II contains no additional optical elements, meaning it does not introduce a crop factor or reduce the maximum aperture of the attached lens. Built with a durable magnesium-alloy construction and weather-resistant sealing, this second-hand Nikon FTZ II is an excellent solution for photographers transitioning from Nikon DSLR systems to Nikon Z mirrorless cameras without immediately replacing their trusted F-mount lenses. Key Features: Nikon F-Mount to Z-Mount Compatibility – Allows a wide selection of Nikon F-mount NIKKOR DSLR lenses to be mounted and used on compatible Nikon Z-series mirrorless camera bodies. Retains Autofocus with Compatible Lenses – Supports autofocus operation with compatible AF-S, AF-P and AF-I NIKKOR lenses, helping photographers maintain fast and accurate focusing when transitioning to the Nikon Z system. Maintains Automatic Exposure Functions – Electronic communication between compatible lenses and the camera allows supported exposure and lens information to continue operating normally. No Optical Elements – The FTZ II uses a purely mechanical and electronic adaptation design with no additional glass, helping preserve the original optical quality of the attached NIKKOR lens. No Additional Crop Factor – The adapter itself does not change the focal length or introduce an additional crop factor, allowing lenses to maintain their intended optical characteristics relative to the camera's sensor format. No Loss of Maximum Aperture – Because there are no corrective optical elements inside the adapter, the maximum aperture of the mounted lens is not reduced by the FTZ II. Supports Nikon Z In-Body Vibration Reduction – Compatible Nikon Z cameras with sensor-shift VR can provide stabilisation benefits when using supported F-mount lenses, including selected lenses without built-in VR. Streamlined FTZ II Design – Removes the tripod-mount protrusion found on the original FTZ, providing additional clearance and more comfortable handling, particularly when shooting vertically or using cameras with battery grips. Durable Magnesium-Alloy Construction – Built for dependable everyday and professional use with a strong yet lightweight construction designed to securely support compatible F-mount lenses. Weather-Resistant Sealing – Designed with sealing to help resist dust and moisture when used with suitably protected Nikon camera and lens combinations. Ideal for Nikon DSLR-to-Mirrorless Upgrades – Enables photographers with an existing collection of Nikon F-mount lenses to move into the Nikon Z mirrorless system while continuing to get value from their current lenses. Second-Hand Value – Provides a cost-effective way to expand the versatility of a Nikon Z-series camera and access an extensive range of Nikon F-mount lenses without purchasing the adapter new.
