F-Mount Nikkor Lenses

The lenses you love,
enhanced by Z

With the optional Mount Adapter FTZ, Z series cameras are fully compatible with over 90 F-Mount Nikkor lenses, which retain all their sharpness, rendering power and functionality. Plus, they gain so much—smooth, fast Hybrid-AF*, silent shooting, in-camera VR and more. In total, approximately 360 F-Mount Nikkor lenses can be used.

Innovation

The most advanced imaging system available

The technology may be all new, but the ingenuity is all Nikon.

Full frame brilliance

At the heart of Z series cameras are FX-format image sensors designed by Nikon to make full use of the extra light provided by the large Z Mount.

Brains and beauty

EXPEED 6, the most advanced Nikon image processing yet, powers breathtaking image quality, liberating low-light performance and versatile video capabilities.

Rock-steady with any lens

A 5-axis optical VR system is built right into Z series cameras for up to 5 stops* of image stabilization when using Nikkor Z lenses and up to 3-axis VR when using F-Mount Nikkor lenses**. Additional electronic VR (e-VR) can be combined during video capture.

*Based on CIPA Standards. This value is achieved when the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens is attached, with zoom set at the maximum telephoto position. **Full AF/AE supported when using FX or DX AF-S Type G/D/E, AF-P type G/E, AF-I type D and AF-S / AF-I Teleconverters

Powerfully cinematic

The video advantages of mirrorless design—fast, accurate on-sensor Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF), in-camera VR and a brilliant Electronic Viewfinder—plus the most robust 4K UHD video feature set on any Nikon camera yet.

TODO

Golden silence

Mirrorless design, on-sensor PDAF and whisper-quiet lenses let you shoot with complete stealth. Capture special moments without interrupting them.

Accessories

Seamless integration

Compatible with the Nikon DSLR system—Speedlights, remotes, wireless transmitters, external mics and more.

New Z Mount

Let there be more light

The largest full-frame mount on any camera system.

TODO

17% wider mount

At 55mm, it’s the largest full-frame mount on any camera system*, allowing more of everything: more light capture, more data sharing between lens and camera and more image quality performance.

*As of August 23, 2018; image may not be to scale
TODO

65% slimmer flange*

By seemingly breaking the laws of optics with just 16mm of flange distance, Nikon can now deliver smaller and lighter cameras and lens designs impossible in any other mirrorless system.
