Hi Adrian, a great video! Adapters are generally fantastic. I used a lot of different ones for years on my Sony cameras for my old lenses from my analogue photography time. For some of my old Minolta AF lenses even autofocus worked with the right adapter. But I'm quite positively surprised how good and especially fast autofocus worked on your adapter. This seems to be a really good one. Thank you for sharing! Nice greetings, Christian

Thanks for watching Christian. I'm surprised how well this adapter works. It's good knowing if I ever do need a Nikon F mount lens I can use it. But I will be mainly sticking to the Z lenses I have for landscape. Hope you have a great weekend my friend, cheers 🙏📸

Hi Adrian, another good video as always. I have the Z6II and use the first FTZ and yes it can be a nuisance using it with a tripod. Also have D850, I use the D850 quite a lot for sport able to crop and not lose much detail in images, I also use the Nikon 80-400mm lens what f stop do you find the best peak performance f5.6 or above I do find images can be a little soft at 400mm? Apart from FTZ and tripod problems do you think the FTZII helps in picture quality in any way?

@nightscapeimages.richard 2 жыл бұрын

Brilliant video again Adrian. I have the original FTZ adaptor but haven't used it for ages. The tripod plate is a real pain. In fact I've sold nearly all my old "F" mount lenses now anyway so it probably won't get a run anytime soon. I don't have any long focal length lenses these days so it's not such an issue for me. I think your use case scenario makes perfect sense with the new adaptor.

@adrianalfordphotography 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching Richard. It'll do the job for now. Eventually I'll get the Nikon Z 20mm F1.8 S lens for astro like the one you work your magic with. I think Nikon have a Z 200-600mm coming out which I'll be interested in seeing. Then I dare say I might be selling off a lot of my F mounts with the exception of keeping the 70-200mm F2.8. Amazing lens. Of course this all depends on Nikon releasing a cheaper version Z9 like camera down the track I can use for birds and wildlife. Hope you have an awesome Sunday mate, cheers 🙏📸

This video helped me a lot. I'm researching my D90 upgrade, and one of the things concerning me is losing my 70-200/2.8 by moving to a different brand, so I'd like to stay with Nikon. I'm just an amateur, and don't have the stomach for a lot of $3-4k lenses. After watching this, it looks like my 70-200 will remain quite usable, so I just need to find something reasonable in the lower zoom range.

Great Video as always, Adrian! We laughed out loud about the C-3PO comparison. I like the design of the FTZ II but I think I'll stay with my (3) original FTZ adaptors. They work fine with no interference with my Sunway foto L-Brackett for my Z6. Where I have problems is on my Z50. Can't use my 3-legged thing Zayla L bracket with the FTZ. But Nikon has finally added an ultra-wide DX lens to their roadmap so when that comes out finally, I'll buy that instead and bring my Z50 back into service as my landscape photography camera with no adaptors at all. I already have the 16-50 and 50-250 Z DX lenses. The ultra-wide on the roadmap is a Z DX 12-28 so that's 18-42mm full-frame equivalent. Not as wide as my 11-16 Tokina gets me with its 16.5-24mm full-frame equivalent but I can work with 18mm. Whoops, I appear to have gone down a rabbit hole over here. I just wanted to say the Z DX 12-28 should eliminate my need for an FTZ II. Thanks, Adrian!

@adrianalfordphotography 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Phil. Yeah if the FTZ is working ok for you, then no need to upgrade. Especially if you're planning on going for Z lens purchases from here on in. Hope you had fun while you were away with the fam, and glad you liked the 3PO joke. Cheers and have a great week.

@luboslehotsky2776 9 ай бұрын

Hi Adrian, got it spot on with that divorce comment. 😁👍 However, I think that to do your z7 justice, I would buy 70-200mm E FL, a newer version of VRII. It's sharper than v2., doesn't focus breath and your z7 will squeeze a lot of details out of it. Most importantly, used ones are reasonably priced on ebay compared to S line.

@anlsahal4147 2 жыл бұрын

I use a Sigma 24-35 F2 lens with the orijinal ftz adapter. It is a big and heavy lens with a 82mm filter thread. The tripod mount of the adapter is useful for balancing the lens. They form a straight line and the camera doesn't face forward down.

Sounds like your first FTZ is working for you. As I said in this video, if it's working for you then you don't have to upgrade.

I rarely use my original FTZ with my Nikon Z6ii as I bought the 24-70 and 70-200mm 2.8's, the only time I've used it was with my Sigma 120-300mm 2.8 and it worked beautifully for a little video. But after seeing this I may bring it out for some landscapes with the Sigma. When I get my Z9 I may also have to get the FTZII just to use my Sigma.

Interesting to hear about your lens choices. Upgrading to the 24-120 Z makes sense considering how much you use this focal length for landscapes while continuing using your F-mount teles. As I enjoy shooting wildlife, like many, I am hoping for an animal eye-AF and blackout free viewfinder to make it down from the Z9 to a more affordable option.

I have experienced no issues with the original FTZ on my Z50. Yes I get some focusing motor noise when using my Sigma 150-600 but if I ever use this for video the sound is not an issue. Since I use the lens tripod mount here the tripod mount on the adaptor is a non issue also. I also use my Sigma 10-20 for video but I haven't noticed any noise from this lens. If I'm not using a radio microphone I normally use a Rode shotgun microphone on the camera. One of the great revelations using the Z50 FTZ combination was using some of my 1970s vintage Nikon glass particularly a lovely 180 mm f/2.8 prime.

Splendid review and images! I am considering the adapter for a Z6ii and my beloved 80-200 2.8 AF Nikon lens. This lens however is not a VR version. If I may ask you I have a question regarding the slight subject tracking I see on the video of a bird, where your frame motion is very smooth. With this type of a long lens did you achieve this with along lever on your tripod, or is the VR of your lens also a significant factor to image stability?

Luckily, my wife introduced me to photography so as long as I remember to share, we stay married. I bought the 100-400mm and like it well enough but I'm not looking to unload the 80-400mm f anytime soon. It just has a certain character I've not found with any other lens of that range. Put it on any of the full frame Z's and it the lens finds new life. The FTZII is a must have if you add grips or l-brackets. No more digging through the bag to find my tools to add/remove the brackets every time I want to change lenses.

G'day Adrian, I found your channel a few months and enjoy it very much. I have the Z7II, 14-30, 24-70F4 and a Laowa 15mm shift lens. I have a specific need to take photos looking down at townships. For example, Townsville, Charters Towers and Rockhampton. I find the new Z mount 70-200 F2.8 and the new 100-400 just too expensive and Nikon don't look like coming out with a 70-200 F4 any time soon. So, I have found your videos on the 80-400 F mount very interesting as I can get this lens for half the price (second-hand) compared to the new 100-400. Very tempting. I've also watched your video on the Z 70-300 Tamron. I assume the 80-400 adapted is in a different league from the Tamron. Do you have a view? Thanks.

The FTZ and FTZ II are great. I don’t think many realise how well the work with F mount lenses. Like native in my experience. Also I think Nikon has been unfairly treated because they stopped supporting screw drive lenses. Things change, and Nikon has supported their F mount for 60 years. Time for a change. Also AF-S lenses, which are fully supported by the FTZ, has been the core of Nikons lenses for the last 15-20 years.
