This is really really useful. Thinking of upgrading my 12 year d5000 to Z6ii. I have similar lenses. It’s really nice see the live focusing in low light conditions. Big thumbs up 👍🏽
Thank you! Upgrading to Z50. Glad I can use these FX lenses and they work well.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, excellent video you've convinced me to buy the FTZ adapter and use older nikon lenses that I was going to sell but you've just saved me whole bunch of money... excellent, excellent video thank you very much again....
Thank you for this. Happy new year ❤
Thank you for this video. This was the best ftz review/usage video I have seen yet.
Just wait.. There's more. 😈
Thanx Peter, Well explained, love the tests, very helpful 🙏🏽
Np Joey
Thanks for this!
What do you do about the teleconverters? Are they now useless with adapter and mirrorless?
Hello to all, what you think, if I already have a Sigma 17-50mm 2.8 (DX format), I don't need to buy z6 kit with 24-70mm f4, because I could use my Sigma (only) for video using FTZ ? And It bring me the same quality of picture in fullHD ?
Great video,i have a question i have nikon d810 but can i use tamron 35mm 1.4 on for nikon, without buying a f mount?
Nice
I have the adapter FTZ for my Z6ii and I cannot get the dang thing to auto focus whatsoever with my old Lenses.
Do I need to update a firmware or something?
does the nikon 50mm 1.8d autofocus with f2z adapter ?
Tks for vídeo 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Can Nikon d750 camera work with new z series lenses ftz adapter because all videos in social media can use z series camera with f mount lens ftz adapter.But my question is f mount cameras with z series lenses Can it be used through any other adapter?
Does the Fox support AF on afD lenses?
Okay, I found the spot where you said you were using the Z50. I assume the eye AF on those same lenses would be much improved if you were using the Z6II or Z7II. Thanks for the video.
Yes very. Since there's no video eye AF on z50
Wow.... Big respect for trying the sigma in dimmed room
This is really useful. A big thank to you! I have plenty of DX lenses and am thinking of buying Nikon Z50. One question I have is about the ergonomic of using FTZ with DX lenses. How does it feel compared to DSLR? Do you think it worth it to buy Z50 and use F mount DX lenses?
if you have old dx/fx lenses lying around and you plan on sticking with nikon the ftz is a must unless you can budget in nikon s lenses
Hi, I'm trying to use the Tokina 11-16 2.8 with the z adapter but Autofocus is not working... But using the same lense in a D810 the Autofocus works fine.... What You thing could be the problem when using with the z50?.. Thanks
That lens has screw type focus. It needs the inbody focus motor from the semipro bodies.
@@victourmotovlog104 yes later I realized that... I need versión II of that lens that includes motor in the lens.... Thanks
Would you suggest to get this if Nikon Z50 is my first camera or is the selection of lenses for the Z Mount good enough both from the variety and the affordability standpoints?
If you have the budget z lenses work best esp if you plan on upgrading to fx you can use the same lens - If you have dx lens ftz is a good budget workaround
From my understanding the Z50 is a mirrorless camera BUT still a crop sensor. Would these DX lenses work with something like a Z5/Z6/Z7 (full frame sensor), or will the crop lens + full frame sensor send it all out of wack? Great video by the way!
There's a dx lens mode on z6
Will I have full control of my aperature on my Sigma Art lenses? Just bought a cheaper adaptor and have no ability to adjust f stop
Yes
Can I mount z Mount lenses onto my f mount camera?
Is there any image quality and bokeh difference between z lens and g lens with ftz adapter?
from what Ive heard the FTZ adapter has zero impact on IQ. its really just a dark tube
FTZ has an aperture lever to controll the lens aperure? or is all manual? Thanks man!
Manual unless your f mount lens has a control
can i use nikoin 35 mm 1.8 g lence over nikon z6 2 with ftz adpotor ? it work or not
ua-cam.com/video/UPr1Y-im-ng/v-deo.html
The Z50 has a crop sensor Z5/6/7 are full frame so with F mount lenses there can be a difference when used with a crop sensor and full frame sensor.
Yes hence there's dx mode option on the full frame
Hello, If I buy the ftz adapter
Every lens I got can go on it even lens from Canon or sony?
No only Nikon f mount
I have the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 II EX APO Macro HSM and i want to know if that lens works in the Nikon z50 with the ftz mount adapter
If it works on your Nikon it'll work on the adapter. AF accuracy will vary.
It won't work.
Peter good morning, I have a question on z50+ ftz + nikk FF 70-200 f4... Why a F F lens do not crop on aps-c camera? Thank You
It should auto crop since it's the body - if it's a z6 it will not and you will have an option of fx or dx mode(crop)
@@BVCCo7 Thank You Peter, sure, strange... on d300 it crops... On z50 it do not crops... Like it were a dx lens...
*Is it Z50 or Z6? How do you transfer images from the camera to the phone?*
ua-cam.com/video/DcVzoYSpumY/v-deo.html
Use the Nikon snapbridge app to transfer to your phone, you can then share it from snapbridge or share it to messages, WhatsApp, email, FB...etc.
Good job! Focusing is just awesome for almost all lenses. Thanks I was confused to go with sony a7iii or z6ii. I have 4 nikon lenses, what do you suggest? Does adopter comes free?
not free but discounted price
When you go toward the camera, AF is almost perfect. When you go away from the camera, it is losing the focus most the time.
probably as this z50 is an APS-C camera, lower sensor pixels, as compare the Z6/Z7 cameras, as well when he backs up, the eye-detect system transfers to FACE-recognition system AF, so AF box is bigger, less precise AF lock, contrast, etc. as compared to spot single point AF selection, so the algorithem has more say/confusion about what YOU want to focus on! (more chance of errors). Also as this video was produced in 2020 there wasn't the firmware update for it yet; just came out a few weeks ago (end APR /2021, start of May2021); this Will most likely fix any issues,esp, as Nikon has been quite quick in fixing focus issues with these new cameras.( and adding FACE/Animal AF to the cameras that didn't have it before, or improving on it's reliabillity).
I'm considering trading in my D7100 for a Z50 with the FTZ adapter, is this a good trade, I've got a nikon 28-105mm a 70-300mm lenses, a sigma 150-600mm and a tamron 10-20mm lenses, if I do trade my D7100 in will these lenses work on the Z50
Many thanks
Steve Hassall
Happy shooting Steve!
Can I use this for sigma lens for Nikon mount?
ua-cam.com/video/Q7xxORi2WL0/v-deo.html
Will the old D series Nikon lens works with the ftz?
No AF with D lenses
I see you tested in a Z50 which is a cropped sensor camera.
However, it would have great to notice in the video as well that this FTZ adapter will take DX lenses.., However, the image will be cropped.
As an example. I recently got the Z5. (For my needs, I seriously did not need to spend the extra $$ for a Z6. It just won't make the difference.). I installed the FTZ and I put the Sigma 17-50 2.8 EX DC OS HSM, which I liked a lot in the past. However, given it is a lenses designed for DX cameras, the result in a Full Frame will be a cropped image. Basically, from the original 24.3 mpx of the camera, I end up having slightly above 10 mpx.
10 mpx still look good, however, the reduction is way too much for what I was initially expecting. So, I am starting to look for nice FX lenses that do not cost too much.
Also, I would like to mention here that AF won't work in all lenses DX or FX. I have a Sigma 105mm 2.8 Macro, which I love, that only works with MF. I am fine with it as most of the time I won't use AF doing macro.
Still, FTZ is a good adaptor. I guess that the change is easier for those who shot in DX and continue in DX, or the ones who shot at FX and upgrade to FX camera (Z5, Z6, Z7). However, the ones who shot at DX (having thus DX lenses) and upgrading to FX camera, FTZ can be a bit disapointing because the significant cropping.
Fx on ftz does not crop, only if third party you may have issues so that is something to be aware of.
@@BVCCo7 Yeah!! this is something to check before purchasing any new lenses (FX! for no crop) for a Z mount Full Frame camera: Make sure it will be fully compatible. Third party companies have a table in their website with those details.
I see Nikon mirrorless camera owners can also adapt Canon EF and and Sony E mount lenses to Z. Have you tried adapting any of those to your Nikon?
It's an f mount, if it's something like a metabones you can.
Does it work wih D lens??
It it fits on your Nikon dx/fx it should work
Where do you buy it?
Links in description!
I'm at a crossroad. I have d lenses that I want to phase out only because the ftz adapter doesn't auto focus them. But I also don't mind using focus peaking. I have a adapter now from fotosay and I use that method. My problem is. I don't want to phase out my lenses If Nikon will make a adapter that will focus d lenses. Do you think they will eventually make a adapter for d lenses as well or are they completely walking away from d lenses
Who knows but I wouldn't bet on it.
Adapter itself is weathersealed. So, does it make a non sealed lens weather sealed? I use sigma 24-35 f2 which is not sealed but ftz is sealed. Someone do the math plase😀.
No. If a lens isn't weather sealed it never will be.
@@GhostsGraphics thanks
Sigma 17-50 lens more silent, no focus noise

Watch my autofocus test here! ua-cam.com/video/3yVPFG-RXdU/v-deo.html
The sound on the 35mm is pretty typical of nikon’s 1.8 primes. I’m uncertain if the motor gets quieter in 1.4 - I’ve only ever used aftermarket there.
My af-s 50mm 1.8 makes a ticking sound when it focuses. My Tamron 24-70 2.8 makes the same sound, but a touch quieter and deeper. My 70-200 doesn’t tick the same way for some reason, but the VC system produces a very quiet whine. It’s all pretty cool in my book, honestly. I’m a car guy, so the mechanical side of photography is super cool to me. Lens & camera noises > silent gear (providing the noise doesn’t disrupt whatever you happen to be shooting, ofc)
For anyone having trouble with lens noises on video:
Get a camera cage or coldshoe handle. Something you can use to mount a 15mm rod. Slap a 15mm rod to coldshoe mount on that sucker as far forward as you can without coming into frame and you’ll be golden, and you can grab all of that for pretty cheap on Amazon
I'm surprised that all bloggers only check the autofocus function. Yes, autofocus works. But more importantly, wide-angle F lenses with FTZ at the edges produce a poor image. Take one shot with Z camera and another with DSLR, and you will see a huge difference in quality. Everyone is silent about this, including Nikon.
Are you talking about an optical problem with the FTZ that soften the image at the edge?
I truly regret selling all of my lenses 😭
, 😭
I was thinking to sell them but your comment stopped me lol
that sound is unbearable
