Camera House Nikon Mount Adapter FTZ
The Technical Details Behind This Adapter The FTZ Adapter features a short metal tube attached to the Z camera on one side, while the other side holds an F-mount SLR lens. It is designed using magnesium alloy and comes with moisture and dust protection. The measurements of the adapter are 3.2 x 2.8 x 2.8 inches. The FTZ adapter does not contain any glass elements. It is hollow like a standard extension tube. Therefore, it weighs very less, only 135 grams. The full-frame mirrorless cameras from Nikon come with only a few native lenses. However, it is possible to use lenses from Nikon’s huge catalogue through the FTZ Adapter. The adapter works well with most of Nikon’s and other third-party lenses. The FTZ adapter is a great way to make your existing lens work with your new full-frame camera. Top Three Reasons We Think You Will Love The Nikon Mount Adapter FTZ Allows you to use all F-mount lenses with your Nikon Z camera. There is no loss in image quality and sharpness. Can take advantage of the in-built image stabilisation system. Functionality While using the FTZ adapter, you will be able to make use of the in-built image stabilisation feature present in the Nikon Z camera with all lenses. The lenses with autofocus will be able to use the five-axis correction, while the three-axis correction will apply to the manual focus lenses. On comparing the results of the FTZ adapter versus the native lenses, you will find that there is no loss in sharpness. The FTZ adapter will produce impressive results while using your older lens for shooting videos. Quality and Reliability The adapter comes with its tripod socket at the bottom. The tripod socket is a huge benefit when using the adapter with a large and heavy lens. The Z cameras include their tripod mount point on the bottom, positioned behind the lens mount. They are placed at a point where the release plates of the tripod will extend beyond the camera body. For native lenses, this does not cause any problems since they do not extend that far. The FTZ Adapter, on the other hand, has a different build. To use the adapter on your Z camera, you will need to remove the tripod attachment plate on your camera. You will be able to use a quick-release plate with your camera and adapter without running into any adjustment problems. Our Expert’s Opinion Since the Z system or cameras are very new, a user only has a few choices when it comes to native lenses. The FTZ adapter helps you overcome this problem. You will be able to use our older F-mount lenses with ease, including those from third-party companies like Sigma and Tamron. The adapter is also capable of matching the performance of the native lenses.
