Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter

The Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter is the streamlined, second-generation bridge that allows you to use nearly 360 different Nikon F-mount DSLR lenses on your Z-series mirrorless camera. Released primarily to fix the handling issues of the original FTZ, this version removes the “tripod foot” protrusion, making it much more comfortable to use with vertical grips (like on the Z9 or Z8) and larger tripod plates.
