The Nikon FTZ II Adaptor allows you to connect
F Mount Lenses with Z Series Mirrorless Cameras. It costs Euro 229 and needs to be
bought separately and provides wide range of possibilities with F Mount lenses. FTZ II Adaptor also comes with 5 years of Warranty. It allows me to use my wide range of F Mount Lenses with ease with My Z8 Mirrorless Camera.
..
I can easily use my Nikkor 14-24 mm, Nikkor 24-70, Nikkor 70-200 mm and Nikkor 200-500 mm lens with Z8. FTZ II Adaptor works with NIKKOR lenses without Vibration Reduction (VR) and achieves new level of sharpness.
..
The FTZ II mount adapter works with a total
of approximately 360 F-mount lenses, 94 of
which are AF-S, AF-P or AF-I type lenses and have full AF/AE capability. Automatic exposure control is available for hundreds of F-mount lenses. And F-mount lenses with built-in AF drive retain full AF compatibility.

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

2- Lens hood
3- Cleaning Cloth
4- Carrying Cover
..
..
..
Nikon Z8 have 2 Memory card slots which allows SD Cards in 1 slot and XQD or CFexpress Type B cards. As 8K N-RAW Bit Video and ProRes RAW 12 HQ requires very high Write Rate, I have bought the best CFExpress Type B Cards from Wise.
..
..
The 640 GB card costs whopping 800 Euro in Germany 🇩🇪. It provides the Best Sustainable Writing speed of 1400 mbps at any given time.
..
Even at 640 GB capacity Z8 records only 14 minutes of 8.3K in N-RAW at 60 fps 🔥
..
At 640 GB capacity Z8 records only 18 minutes in ProRes RAW HQ 12-Bit at 60 fps.
..
At 640 GB capacity Z8 records 41 minutes in ProRes RAW HQ 10-Bit at 60 fps.
..
..
..
Native level Functionality with any system such as DJI Ronin or any other Rig makes Z8 the best Video Camera of 2023.

What Ronin is that?
Did you try Z8 with any F Type lenses? If yes was there any performance increase in autofocus in video?

[@aoonmujtaba]

That’s 2nd Gen Ronin. And yes I have used 3 F types, 14-24 mm, 24-70 mm and 200-500 mm for both photos and videos and quality is very high.
Autofocus is great with FTZ II
