Nikon Z6 showing wide-diameter lens mount and full-frame sensor

Nikon Z-mount (stylised as ℤ) is an interchangeable lens mount developed by Nikon for its mirrorless digital cameras. It was first used in 2018. With the introduction of the Z-mount, Nikon discontinued its previous mirrorless mount, the Nikon 1 series.[1]

Z-mount characteristics

Throat diameter

The 55 mm throat diameter of the Nikon Z-mount makes it the largest full-frame lens mount.[2][3] It is much larger than the older Nikon F-mount (44 mm) and than the Sony mirrorless E-mount (46.1 mm),[4] but only slightly larger than the 54 mm of both the Canon EF and RF mounts. It is also slightly larger than the 51.6 mm diameter full-frame mirrorless Leica L-Mount.[5]

Flange distance

The Z-mount has a very short flange distance of 16 mm,[6] which is shorter than all previously mentioned lens mounts. The shorter flange distance allowed Nikon (and others) to build smaller and simpler lenses.[7]

This flange distance, along with the large throat diameter, allows for numerous lenses of nearly all other current and previous mounts to be used with an appropriate lens mount adapter on a Z-mount camera (see Autofocus/electronic adapters for a list of mounts and adapters).

Lens contacts

The number of electrical contacts between the camera body and lens was increased from eight (on the F-mount) to eleven (on the Z-mount).[7] These communicate lens information to the camera and provide power and instructions to the lens from the camera.[8]

Mount type and tabs

As on most interchangeable lens mount camera systems, the Z-mount uses a bayonet mount for attaching the lens to the camera. It increased the number of tabs from three (on the F-mount) to four. This provides slightly more security on the mounted lens.[7]

Lens formats: FX and DX

For its two sensor sizes, FX (Full-frame) and DX (APS-C), Nikon develops two varieties of lens. The two versions both use the Z-mount, and are mechanically and electronically identical. When mounted on the same camera type (i.e., an FX lens on an FX camera or a DX lens on a DX camera), a lens performs according to its nominal characteristics. When a DX lens is mounted on an FX camera, it causes the camera to use a crop mode from the center of the sensor, corresponding to the DX coverage of the lens. When an FX lens is mounted on a DX camera, it provides a 1.5x crop field of view, as is typical with an APS-C camera.[9]

Lens mounting

Z-mount lenses lock (i.e., attach to the camera) by aligning the white dots on the camera body and lens and turning the lens counter-clockwise (when looking at the front of lens). To unlock, the camera's Lens Release button is pressed and the lens is rotated clockwise.[10]

Z-mount cameras

Introduction of the cameras

In late 2018, Nikon released the first two cameras (alongside three lenses and the FTZ converter) that use this mount, the full-frame Nikon Z7 and Nikon Z6, both using the then topTemplate:NbhofTemplate:NbhtheTemplate:Nbhline ExpeedTemplate:Nbsp6 image processor. In late 2019 Nikon announced their first Z-mount camera with an APS-C sensor, the Nikon Z50, also using the ExpeedTemplate:Nbsp6. In July 2020 the entry-level full-frame Z5 was introduced. In October 2020, Nikon announced the Nikon Z6II and Nikon Z7II, which succeed the Z6 and Z7, respectively. Both used dual ExpeedTemplate:Nbsp6 image processors. The APS-C lineup was expanded in July 2021, with the introduction of the retro-styled Nikon Zfc.

In October 2021, Nikon unveiled the Nikon Z9, which effectively succeeded the brand's flagship D6 DSLR.[11] It was the first to use the ExpeedTemplate:Nbsp7 processor. The APS-C lineup was further expanded with the Nikon Z30, announced at the end of June 2022.[12] 2023 brought the introduction of the Z8 and Zf, the second and third cameras to use the Expeed 7. The Nikon Z6III was announced in June 2024.[13] In November 2024, Nikon announced the Z50II as a major upgrade of the Z50; it became the first APS-C camera to use the ExpeedTemplate:Nbsp7 processor introduced with the Z9.[14] In April 2025, Nikon announced the Z5II as a major upgrade for its lowest class full-frame line of cameras.[15] In September 2025, Nikon announced the first camera of its "Z Cinema" line, the ZR, co-designed with RED.[16][17] The ZR is the first Nikon camera that offers the 12-bit R3D NE raw video codec (Redcode Raw with TicoRAW) internally.

Red cinema cameras

Template:Main

In 2024, Red Digital Cinema was acquired by Nikon.[18] In 2025, the first two cinema cameras using the Z-mount, the V-RAPTOR [X] and the KOMODO-X, were released.[19][20] On 9 September 2025, Red released the V‑RAPTOR XE, also offering a Z-mount version besides the RF-mount variant.[21][22] Along with the ZR, they are all part of the Z Cinema line.[23]

Z-mount lenses

Template:See also Template:See also With the introduction of the Z-mount, Nikon began designing and releasing a new set of lens for that mount. It published a roadmap outlining forthcoming lenses when the Z-mount system was initially announced.[24] The roadmap has been updated multiple times.[25] As of February 2025, all lenses in the last version of the roadmap from September 2023 were released. Several lenses which were not indicated on the roadmap were released as well.[26][27]

On October 30, 2024, Nikon announced that it was developing a video-centric, standard zoom lens with Template:Linktext, the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm Template:F/ PZ.[28][29] On February 13, 2025, the details of the lens were released,[30][31][32] alongside the announcement of the first two RED Digital Cinema cinema cameras with Z-mounts, the V-Raptor [X] and Komodo-X.[19][20]

In 2018, Nikon announced the development of the Z-mount [[Nikon Nikkor Z 58 mm f/0.95 S Noct|58 mm Template:F/ S Noct]] lens, reintroducing the Noct brand, which was historically used by Nikon for lenses with ultra-fast maximum apertures.[33][34][35] The lens was released in October 2019.[36]

Lens designations

In their labeling of lenses, in addition to focal length and aperture, Nikon uses a new designation system (i.e., various tags) for their Z-mount lenses. The older F-mount Nikkor designations are no longer used, though they overlap in some areas (e.g., the VR and DX labels). Nikon also introduced the S (for S-Line) branding for especially high-performance ("superior") lenses, which is akin to Canon's L designation or Sony's G or GM branding.

Template:Sticky header

Lens lines

The Nikkor Z line-up has several distinct lines of lenses, which are designed with similar handling and optical characteristics.

Nikkor Z lens lines
Line Lenses Description
Holy Trinity Professional S-Line Template:F/ zooms
Economical Trinity These are adapted Tamron designs offering less wide-angle, less reach and no VR, but at a substantially lower cost. Due to this trade-off, they are not part of the S-line.
Lightweight Trinity A series of S-Line Template:F/ zoom lenses covering the ultra-wide to tele range.
Compact Primes Emphasizing smaller size and portability
Ultra-fast Primes The Template:F/ line of ultra-fast primes feature almost identical size and weight and all have the same 82mm filter size.
Fast Primes The Template:F/ line of fast primes are designed for hybrid (photo/video) shooters; these lenses have characteristic rendering instead of perfect aberration control as implemented in the S-line lenses.
Superior Primes The Template:F/ line of primes are known for superior image quality
Premium Super-Telephoto All of these lenses have the same control scheme and the same set of lens control buttons.

Teleconverters

TC-2.0x teleconverter

The Nikon Z-mount teleconverters are a group of full-frame, magnifying lenses mounted between the Z-mount lens and camera bodies to increase the focal length. It is attached to the Z-mount end of the lens before attaching the teleconverter's Z-mount to the powered-off camera. The following Nikon teleconverters are available:[41]

Nikon Z TC-2.0x Template:Abbr Template:Cvt Template:Cvt Reduced by 2 stops 2020-08-28

The Nikon Z-mount teleconverters are only compatible with the following Nikon Z lenses, as the design of the lens must be able to physically accept the attachment of the Z teleconverter:[42] Template:Columns-start Zoom

Template:Column Prime

Template:Columns-end

Although the Z-mount teleconverters are full-frame, they can be used on a Z-mount DX camera with any of the preceding lenses, as all Z-mount lenses are usable on all Z-mount cameras.[9]

Z-mount teleconverters cannot be mounted on top of each other,[42] although they can be used on lenses that have built-in teleconverters (included in the preceding list with the letters "TC"), further extending their reach.[43]

Relating to the use of teleconverters with an FTZ II (or FTZ) mount adapter:

Nikon Z-mount adapters

Nikon makes two lens adapters, the Template:Abbr II and the original FTZ which allow many Nikon F-mount lenses to be used on Z-mount cameras.[47] Nikon SLR cameras, both film and digital, have used the Nikon F-mount with its 44 mm throat diameter and 46.5 mm flange since 1959, while the Z-mount has a 55 mm throat diameter and a 16 mm flange distance. The FTZ allows AF-S, AF-P and AF-I lenses to autofocus on Z-mount cameras. The older screw-drive AF and AF-D lenses will not autofocus with the FTZ adapter (although some third-party adapters do support autofocus with screw-drive AF lenses[48]), but they do retain metering and Exif data. All Z-mount cameras support metering with manual focus lenses, along with all full-frame Z-mount cameras also providing in-body image stabilization (IBIS) on them.

As the adapter is a short, hollow tube with no lenses in its construction, there is no reduction in light passing through it, meaning no change in speed (unlike a teleconverter).

An adapter is attached to a powered-off camera in the same manner as a lens. Once it is attached, the F-mount lens can then be attached to the adapter.[49]

Nikon Z-mount adapters for all Z-mount cameras

FTZ: Nikon F to Z-mount adapter, first generation

Mount adapters made by Nikon to support F-mount lenses on their Z-mount cameras are:

  • Nikon FTZ: The FTZ supports F-mount lenses on Z-mount cameras, and provides an integrated tripod foot. Metering, IBIS and Exif metadata are supported with any F-mount lens, including manual lenses, while autofocus is only supported with AF-I, AF-S and AF-P lenses. Variable autofocus speed for video shooting is only supported with AF-P and select AF-S lenses. The FTZ adds 30.5 mm to the length of the attached lens, which is the difference in flange distance between the Nikon F-mount (46.5 mm) and the Z-mount (16 mm), along with allowing the F's smaller throat diameter to be mated to the larger Z diameter. This model was announced along with the Z6 and Z7 in September 2018, and was discontinued by Nikon in October 2021, after the introduction of the FTZ II.[50]
  • Nikon FTZ II: Same performance as the FTZ,[51] but without the integrated tripod foot. This model was introduced in October 2021 along with the Z9, and allows for easier vertical shooting with the Z9.[52]

Nikon specifies F-mount lens compatibility as in the following table. Nikon F-mount teleconverters can be used on compatible F-mount lenses, but the Z-mount teleconverters may not be used in conjunction with the FTZ.[53][54] For details on the lens types listed in the table, refer to Nikon F-mount.

Nikon Z-mount adapters for RED Z-mount cameras

Mount adapters provided by Nikon to support PL-mount lenses on their RED Z-mount cameras are the following:

  • RED Z to PL Adapter Pack: Enables the use of PL-mount lenses on Z-mount RED Digital Cinema cameras.[19]
  • RED Z to PL with Electronic ND Adapter Pack: Similar to the previous, but includes an integrated electronic ND feature which allows a user to rapidly adjust exposure in 1/4, 1/3, or full stops.[19]

Note that the two RED Z camera adapters cannot be used with Nikon Z mirrorless cameras, including the ZR.[55]

Third-party lenses and adapters

Three companies license the Z-mount from Nikon, enabling full compatibility and respecting intellectual property: Cosina Voigtländer,[56] Sigma[57] and Tamron.[58]

Numerous manufacturers offer purely manual lenses and lens mount adapters for the Z-mount, which do not interface electronically to the camera and do not support autofocus or automatic control of the aperture. Some manufacturers offer lenses and adapters with full electronic functionality (autofocus, automatic aperture control, Exif metadata, etc.).[59] Third-party lenses and adapters often rely on reverse engineering the electronic protocol of a lens mount and might not work properly on new cameras or new firmware versions.[60]

Autofocus lenses

All of the third-party autofocus Z-mount lenses are shown in the Table of Z-mount lenses.

Third-party teleconverters

There is a third-party teleconverter from Viltrox made for the Nikon Z-mount:

  • Viltrox Teleconverter TC-2.0X Z — a 2.0x teleconverter[61]

It is compatible with the following Nikkor lenses: Template:Columns-start Zoom

Template:Column Prime

Template:Columns-end

Autofocus/electronic adapters

As described earlier, the short Z-mount flange distance coupled with the large throat diameter allows for numerous lenses of nearly all other current and previous mounts to be used with an appropriate lens mount adapter on a Z-mount camera.

  • For Canon EF lenses
    • The Fringer EF-NZ adapter provides full electronic integration (autofocus, image stabilization, aperture control).[62] The EF-NZ II revision removes the tripod foot for better handling with vertical grips (much like Nikon's FTZ II did) and adds weather-sealing.[63]
    • The Techart TZC-01 also provides full electronic integration.[64]
    • The Viltrox EF-Z adapter appears identical to the Fringer EF-NZ.[65]
    • The Viltrox EF-Z2 has a built-in 0.7x focal reducer ("speed booster").[66]
    • The Megadap EFTZ21 provides full electronic integration and autofocus, with an extra configurable control ring and a lens function button (L-Fn).[67]
  • For Contax G lenses
    • The Techart TZG-01 adapts Contax G lenses with mechanical autofocus to Nikon Z. The Contax G system is somewhat similar to the older screw-drive Nikon AF system, but unlike the Nikon system, Contax G lenses do not have a manual focus ring. This makes Contax G unusually difficult to adapt to mirrorless cameras. It is not compatible with the Nikon Z9 and Z8.[68]
    • The Shoten GTZ, similarly to the Techart TZG-01, adapts Contax G lenses with mechanical autofocus. It also has a micro-USB port on the bottom for firmware upgrades.[69]
  • For Fujifilm X mount lenses
    • The Boryoza XF-Z adapts Fujinon XF lenses with autofocus to Nikon Z.[70]
  • For Leica M mount lenses
    • The Fotodiox LM-NKZ-PRN is another autofocus Leica M to Z adapter.[71]
    • The Megadap MTZ11 contains a focusing helicoid with 6.5 mm of extension which is used for autofocus. This range is sufficient to cover the full focusing range of lenses up to around 50 mm focal length.[72]
    • The Techart TZM-01 is similar to the Megadap MTZ11 and enables autofocus with M-mount lenses.[73]
    • The Techart TZM-02 is a refined version of the TZM-01 with better autofocus performance.[74]
    • The TTArtisan M-Z 6-Bit adapter doesn't provide autofocus, but has a reader for Leica's 6-bit lens codes. This makes 6-bit coded lenses behave like Ai-P lenses on the FTZ, except with no aperture control (as rangefinder lenses use pre-set apertures): EXIF data is automatically recorded, IBIS is set to the correct focal length and focus confirmation is supported.[75]
  • For Nikon F-mount lenses
    • The Viltrox NF-Z is largely identical to Nikon's original FTZ adapter, both in function and form. Like the FTZ, autofocus does not function with screw-drive AF/AF-D lenses. It has a USB-C port for firmware updates.[76]
    • The MonsterAdapter LA-FZ1 is the first adapter that allows F-mount screw-driven AF and AF-D lenses to be used on Z cameras with full autofocus. It was showcased at CP+ 2025.[77] Per their website, it "does NOT include autofocus support for AF-I, AF-S, and AF-P lenses, nor support of EMD electromagnetic aperture and lens VR."[78]
  • For Nikon 1-mount lenses
    • There are no adapters, due in equal parts to the minimal flange difference (17mm on the 1-mount vs. 16mm on the Z-mount), vignetting from the small imaging circle (1-series was designed for the small CX format), and the short life that the lenses were manufactured.
  • For Nikon IX-mount lenses
    • There are no commercially available adapters, as the IX lenses feature a protruding rear element and shroud, along with lacking a traditional mechanical aperture ring. However, as the IX-Nikkor lenses use the same electronic communications as Nikkor AF F-mount lenses with distance encoding (AF-D), they may be adapted, at a potential risk, to Z-mount cameras in DX (cropped sensor) mode.[79]
  • For Nikon S-mount lenses
    • The Roxsen Nikon S mount rangefinder lens to Nikon Z mount mirrorless adapter can be used to mount outer bayonet rangefinder lenses. As these are manual lenses with a short flange distance, they use manual focus and manual exposure control.[80]
  • For Sony E-mount lenses
    • The Fotodiox Pro Fusion SNE-NKZ adapts lenses with autofocus and image stabilization, as well as lens function button support.[81]
    • The Megadap ETZ11 is similar to the Techart TZE-01/02 and adapts lenses with autofocus and image stabilization support. In contrast to the Techart adapter, the ETZ11 can be mounted on the Z50 and Zfc.[48]
    • The Megadap ETZ21 and ETZ21 Pro are improved versions of the ETZ11, and provide full function E-mount support, including autofocus, image stabilization, full-time manual focus, and support for programmable lens buttons and aperture rings.[82]
    • The Megadap ETZ21 Pro+ has weather sealing, improved mechanical structure. It is compatible with the Sony LA-EA5 A-to-E mount adapter, therefore it also supports Sony A-mount lenses through stacking the LA-EA5 on the ETZ21 Pro+. It is also compatible with RED Z-mount cameras.[83][84][85][86]
    • The Meike Mount Adapter ETZ is compatible with a wide range of Sony, Tamron, Sigma and Meike lenses with Sony E-mount, and supports autofocus, aperture control, EXIF and image stabilization.[87]
    • The Techart TZE-01/TZE-02 allows mounting Sony E-mount lenses on Z-mount cameras with full electronic integration. This adapter cannot be mounted on the Z50 or the Zfc.[88]
    • The Viltrox E-Z AF Lens Mount Adapter adapts E-mount lenses with autofocus and full electronic integration. Also supports adapter firmware upgrades.[89]
  • For Sony A-mount lenses
    • Stack the Sony LA-EA5 adapter on the Megadap ETZ21 Pro+ adapter, to adapt selected lenses (from A to E, then E to Z mount).[83]

Z-mount accessories

Accessory port

The Z9 and Z8 use the same circular 10-pin accessory port (for a remote shutter release, external GPS receiver, etc.) as previous "pro-grade" Nikon DSLRs (such as the D3/D4/D5/D6 series), while the Z5/Z6/Z7 (and their successors) use the rectangular 8-pin accessory port introduced with the D90 and used on most other Nikon DSLRs since.

The Z30/Z50/Zfc/Zf (and their successors) do not have an accessory port.

The ZR does not have the same type of accessory port, but rather, it has a digital accessory shoe for two-way communication. This allows the camera to supply power and send data to and receive data from attached compatible microphones and tally lamps.[90]

Flashes

Template:Main All Nikon Z cameras (other than the ZR, which has a digital accessory shoe) have a hot shoe, which allows the use of the same iTTL flash system (Nikon CLS[91]) as Nikon DSLRs, which remains fully backward compatible and with third-party flashes and flash transmitters.

Third-party flashes can be used on Z-mount cameras, as long as they have the same basic hotshoe design;[92] standards define the two pins required to trigger the flash.[93] However, they won't be integrated into the Z-system menus, and need to have the power adjusted manually and have the user be mindful of the maximum sync speed limits of the camera.[92]

Batteries

Most Z cameras use the same batteries of their "peer" DSLRs:[94]

  • The Nikon Z9 uses EN-EL18/a/b/c/d batteries, introduced with the Nikon D4. In-camera charging using USB-C is available from the EN-EL18b onwards (introduced in 2017).[95]
  • The Nikon Z5/Z6/Z7 (and their successors), Z8, Zf, and ZR use EN-EL15/a/b/c batteries, which were introduced in 2010 with the Nikon D7000.
    The Z5II, Z6III, Z8, Zf, and ZR do not officially support the original EN-EL15 battery, only the subsequent a/b/c versions (although the "Li-ion20" variant of the EN-EL15 does work in practice[96]).
    With these cameras, in-camera charging using USB-C is only compatible with EN-EL15b/c batteries.[97]
  • Only the Nikon Z50, Z50II, Z30, and Zfc use a new battery type, the EN-EL25/a. Previous entry-level DSLRs like the D5600 or D3500 used the EN-EL14. In-camera charging via USB-C is supported for all of these cameras, except for the original Z50.

Battery and remote control grips

Battery grips are available for several models:[101]

  • The MB-N10 is compatible with the Nikon Z5, Z6, Z6II, Z7 and Z7II, but is purely a battery grip with no vertical controls.
  • The MB-N11 is only compatible with the Nikon Z6II, Z7II and Z5II,[102][103] and adds vertical controls.
  • The MB-N12 for the Nikon Z8 also has vertical controls.
  • The MB-N14 is compatible with Nikon Z6III, Z5II, Z6II and Z7II,[104] and it also has vertical controls. It was initially released with the Z6III.[105]

Nikon does not offer vertical battery grips for the Z50II, Z50, Z30, Zfc, Zf, and ZR. The Nikon Z9 has a built-in vertical battery grip that is integrated into its body, and thus doesn't need an add-on grip.

The MC-N10 is a remote-control grip for all Z cameras with USB-C (the first-generation Z50 is the sole camera to not use USB-C).[106] It connects through a USB-C cable to the camera and replicates the right-hand controls of the camera body. It is designed for film applications and uses an ARRI rosette-type mount.[107] Cameras introduced before its release require firmware updates to use it.

Table of Z-mount lenses

Template:Expand section

The following table contains the specifications for all Nikon Z-mount lenses, as well as all autofocus third-party Z-mount lenses. Collecting all specifications for third-party lenses, including manual focus ones, isn't feasible due to the large number of brands producing a great variety of such lenses.

Firmware updates

Firmware updates are available from the Nikon website for all Nikon components of the Z-system: cameras, lenses, flashes, adapters, and teleconverters. They are released as needed to correct errors, enhance functionality, or add new capabilities. The component being updated must be currently attached to a Z-system camera (if not the camera itself), and can be updated using one of two methods:[375]

  1. The update file can downloaded from the Nikon site and copied to the root directory of a memory card, which is then inserted into the camera's card slot. The update is then initiated using the camera's menu option.
  2. The update can be downloaded via the paired Nikon SnapBridge app.

Firmware updates for third-party lenses and equipment and the techniques for updating vary. The manufacturer's website should be consulted for details. Many of the lenses have a USB-C port which is used during the update, along with possibly a dedicated utility from the manufacturer.
