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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNikon F-Mount to Z-Mount Compatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Allows a wide selection of Nikon F-mount NIKKOR DSLR lenses to be mounted and used on compatible Nikon Z-series mirrorless camera bodies.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRetains Autofocus with Compatible Lenses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaintains Automatic Exposure Functions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Electronic communication between compatible lenses and the camera allows supported exposure and lens information to continue operating normally.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo Optical Elements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo Additional Crop Factor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo Loss of Maximum Aperture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Because there are no corrective optical elements inside the adapter, the maximum aperture of the mounted lens is not reduced by the FTZ II.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupports Nikon Z In-Body Vibration Reduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStreamlined FTZ II Design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDurable Magnesium-Alloy Construction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Built for dependable everyday and professional use with a strong yet lightweight construction designed to securely support compatible F-mount lenses.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeather-Resistant Sealing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Designed with sealing to help resist dust and moisture when used with suitably protected Nikon camera and lens combinations.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal for Nikon DSLR-to-Mirrorless Upgrades\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecond-Hand Value\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742687854870,"sku":"00374","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/2548\/8201\/files\/1_52253317-cd62-4e93-86ff-3ce61d24e221.png?v=1787299324","url":"https:\/\/cameratek.co.za\/products\/nikon-ftz-ii-mount-adapter-second-hand","provider":"Camera Tek","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
