testing the MOUNT ADAPTER FTZ with a Nikon Z 50
The Mount Adapter FTZ allows long-time Nikon users to continue utilising their existing NIKKOR F lenses seamlessly with the new system. the new Mount Adapter FTZ works with F mount NIKKOR lenses, giving you full access to our new range of mirrorless cameras. The auto focus works perfectly, I've tried it with a AF-S NIKKOR 70-30mm lenses.
Nikkor AF D Lens on Z Mirrorless Body
2019 Nikon Z6 + Nikkor 50mm f1.8 D + AI-Z manual lens adapter
Nikon Z6 + Nikkor 50mm f1.8 D + AI-Z manual lens adapter. Usually shot at 2.8 because this lens is soft wide open. Manual focus is very easy thanks to Z6's zoom function in a beautiful viewfinder. I couldn't focus in optical viewfinder on my DSLR, but this is actually fun...but still very slow compared to autofocus.
I bought the adapter for 20 USD on Aliexpress since this lens would still not autofocus on Nikon's 250 UDS original adapter.

Nikon Z6 with FTZ adapter
I tested various lenses with Nikon Z6:
* Nikkor Z 24-70 F4 S - no adapter needed and everything works as expected
* Tamron 24-70 F2.8 first gen - often can't focus plus weird exposure changes
* Tamron 70-300 - ditto
* Tamron 15-30 F2.8 first gen- same as above, but this one may still be useful for me as I mainly use it for stationary subjects and sometimes with tripod
* Tamron 150-600 G2 (second gen) - works with the latest lens firmware update as of 5 Jan 2019
* Nikkor 50 F1.8 and Nikkor 85 F1.8 - both work
* Samyang 14 F2.8 - it's a manual focus lens, but works as expected including correct exposure
It was relatively dark: 1/50s F4, ISO 2000
Video test on Nikon Z50 AF-S 50mm F1.8G lens FTZ adapter (尼康Z50 FTZ 转接環 AF-S 50mm F1.8G 鏡頭下的視頻測試）
Nikon Z50 with FTZadapter, excellent quality, but low price NIKKOR AF-S lens can be used. Here 50mm F1.8G lens is tested here. One critical thing needs to be tested is the auto-focus capability when AF-S lens is adopted. Here Auto-area focus and Full time AF are two relevant settings for auto-focus functionality. This video is recorded in the most busy area of Hong Kong, Kowloon, although Covid virus is still shadowing Hong Kong. The crowd people and congested cars cause the very challenging scenario for Nikon Z50. Through this study of video testing, you can see the auto-focus capability of Nikon Z50; meanwhile, you can also realize what is computation algorithm behind, so that you can better utilize this auto-focus function, not misusing or abusing this very useful and critical functionality. This video test uses monopod to ease the problem of hand-shaking during video making. Unfortunately hand-shaking problem is still obvious, so post-processing for stabilization by iMovie software is used here. However, at the last part of this video, stabilization of iMovie cannot be adopted since there are a lot of large objects moving abruptly, which will significantly impact the quality of video after post-processing stabilization, so I just leave these clips here without post stabilization processing.
尼康Z50在用了FTZ-mount后，就可以用上質素超好而又便宜的Nikkor AF-S 鏡頭，但要留意的是如果用了AF鏡頭，則沒了自動對焦功能，因為AF鏡頭沒有內置馬達。 這個視頻測試了AF-S 鏡頭的自動對焦能力。視頻拍攝的地方是繁亂的香港九龍鬧市，你可以看到在如此紛雜的環境下，尼康Z50的自動對焦能力的表現。因為尼康Z50沒有內置有力的防手震裝置，而這支測試的尼康AF-S鏡頭也沒有內置防震，所以我用了單腳架，但發現還是震得厲害，所以事后我又用了iMovie 軟體里的防震修正功能，可惜的是視頻后半截用不了這個軟件功能，因為對视頻質素影響很大，所以這個視頻的后半截就不做防震修正了。

Tamron 15-30mm with FTZ adapter after firmware upgrade
This is a follow-up to my previous video where I demonstrated that autofocus was broken while using Tamron 15-30mm F2.8 (first generation), Nikon Z6 and FTZ adapter.
It is the first generation lens and it's impossible to update the firmware on your own via TAP-in console. Instead I posted it for an update to Tamron (Fixation in the UK), which they did free of charge even though I had bought the lens 4.5 years ago. Excellent customer service!
The autofocus is working fine now. Perhaps it's not as fast and reliable as on my Nikon D610, but it should be perfectly usable in most scenarios.

Z8 is the true successor to Nikon D850 which
have been my Travel Companion since Late 2017. Apart from being Mirrorless and lightweight, main differences between Z8 and D850 are the advanced Video features and specs of Z8 making it the besy Camera for Videos in 2023.
..
With advanced VR capabilities, 8.3K in N-RAW bit and 120 fps at 11 MP and advanced sensor makes Z8 a must have along with D850. Even for 4K, Z8 can record in ProRes RAW HQ at 10 Bit at 120 fps while Nikon D850 records 4K at 30 fps. Z8 can shoot upto 30 fps vs 7 fps of D850
