Use DSLR lenses with no loss of image quality.

Attach the FTZ II Mount Adapter (sold separately) and use over approximately 360 Nikon F-Mount lenses with no loss of image quality and all the benefits of the Z 8’s extraordinary sensor, image processing and in-body image stabilization.

In-body stabilization means every lens has VR.

The Z 8 has 5.5 stops of 5-axis image stabilization built right into its body (6.0 stops³ when using a Nikkor Z lens that supports Synchro VR⁴). That means even prime lenses get the benefits of VR for steadier video footage, more low-light capabilities and sharper results overall.
