Other Z-Mount Adapters

Note: adapters with optics in them to reduce focal length have been moved to the next page (Speed Adapters).

A number of third-party companies make adapters for various lens mounts to the Z mount. These tend to work the same as AI lenses do on the Nikon FTZ adapter (manual focus, meters in Aperture and Manual exposure modes [requires Non-CPU data entered correctly in the camera menus], though there are now a few that support autofocus and electrical information pass-thru; I've tried to note that below):
