The FTZ Adapter ($249.95) is what you’ll need to make the two systems work together. It works with most of Nikon’s modern lenses, and some third-party glass, and for the most part, it works well. I have one gripe about its design, but it’s only an issue if you like to leave a tripod plate on your camera.

Do professionals use mirrorless cameras?
Do professionals use mirrorless cameras? Yes, but they also use DSLRs, too, depending on the genre of photography. In fact, many people switch between DLSR vs mirrorless cameras. Some are advocates that mirrorless lenses and autofocus are still not there yet, and prefer to use DSLRs.
Do mirrorless cameras take better pictures? The DSLR offers a wider selection of interchangeable lenses, longer battery life, and better low-light shooting thanks to the optical viewfinder. On the other hand, mirrorless cameras are lighter, more portable, offer better video quality even in lower-end models, and can shoot more images at faster shutter speeds.

Does FTZ reduce quality?
On the bright side, Nikon is right to state that there is no loss of sharpness when using the FTZ adapter versus natively using the F-mount lens on a DSLR. We tested several lenses on both the D850 and the Z7 with the FTZ adapter, and the results were consistent – both images were equally sharp each time.

Where are Nikon Z lenses made? Nikon has been manufacturing many of its Z lenses in Thailand since the Z system launched, including the recent Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S VR lens. I Field Tested that lens, and it’s an excellent professional zoom lens. The Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S lens, also made in Thailand, is similarly fantastic.
Why are Nikkor Z lenses so expensive?
The technology of the optics is superior and for its size very light weight but the construction uses a lot of plastic. Expensive lenses are expensive because they are well constructed, made to last professional use for years, and deliver the very best optically. I used Nikon at work for many years.
Why are Canon lenses so big? Cameras have a “flange focal distance” that is the distance between the lens mount and the sensor. On Canon’s DSLRs, for example, it’s 44mm. The problem for camera manufacturers is that manipulating focal length is complicated and generally involves adding more lens elements that make things bigger and heavier.
