There's no doubt that the FTZ adapter is an amazing accessory for Nikon Z users, even ones who never shot with Nikon DSLR cameras. From fisheye to perspective control lenses, fast primes to super telephotos, the Mount Adapter FTZ II brings so many possibilities to the Z series." You can see the full compatibility list here. In case the text is too small to read, it reads: "The Mount Adapter FTZ II works with approximately 360 F-mount lenses, over 90 of which retain full functionality. While I enjoyed my own AF Nikkor 180mm F2.8D IF-ED lens, it's not a key part of a prospective Z lineup that includes a 70-200mm F2.8 telephoto zoom. Nor does Nikon need to prioritize a 200mm F4 telephoto lens or a 180mm F2.8. For example, Nikon doesn't need to rush to create a Micro Nikkor lens for DX Nikon Z cameras when the Z MC 50mm F2.8 Macro is already so compact and lightweight. Of course, not every lens available for F mount but not Z mount is worth revisiting. In Nikon's current catalog of F-mount lenses, which doesn't include every version of different lenses, like the multiple 24-70mm F2.8 or 70-200mm F2.8 zooms, there are nearly a hundred lenses. However, despite the impressive suite of Z lenses, the collection pales in comparison to Nikon's legendary F-mount lineup. Nikon Z mount versus Nikon F mount: Where's the Z mount coming up short? Including those original launch lenses, Nikon has released 26 Z lenses, plus a pair of teleconverters (1.4x and 2x). Remember, the system itself was first launched in the autumn of 2018 with the introduction of the Nikon Z6 and Z7 full-frame mirrorless cameras and a trio of lenses, the Nikkor Z 24-70mm F4 S, Nikkor Z 35mm F1.8 S and Nikkor Z 50mm F1.8 S. Let's take stock of how many lenses Nikon has released for its mirrorless Z system. The unidentified 400mm lens listed here is the new 400mm F4.5 VR S. ![]() Nikon Z lens roadmap (as of December 2021). ![]() It'll be interesting to see if that 600mm lens incorporates a teleconverter like Nikon's Z 400mm F2.8 TC VR S. The current lens roadmap shows that Nikon is still poised to release a 26mm prime, a 24mm DX lens, a DX 12-28mm zoom, 85mm prime, 200-600mm telephoto zoom, and a 600mm telephoto prime – which to our eyes appears to be a 600mm F4. But for Nikon to have accomplished such a feat during a pandemic and, we assume, facing similar supply constraints as just about everyone else on the planet, is remarkable. It's fair to say that the rapid pace can't keep up. In the previous 13 months, Nikon has released the following 11 lenses: Nikkor Z MC 105mm F2.8 VR S, Nikkor Z MC 50mm F2.8, Nikkor Z 28mm F2.8 (SE), Nikkor Z 40mm F2, Nikkor Z DX 18-140mm F3.5-6.3 VR, Nikkor Z 24-120mm F4 S, Nikkor Z 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 VR S, Nikkor Z 28-75mm F2.8, Nikkor Z 400mm F2.8 TC VR S, Nikkor Z 800mm F6.3 VR S and most recently, the Nikkor Z 400mm F4.5 VR S. Nikon has been very busy making new Z lenses.
