Tamron issued a notice that some of their Di/Di II series lenses will not work properly on the Nikon Z7 mirrorless camera with the FTZ adapter. A reader did some quick testing and sent me this list:
Problems:
- Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is incompatible (error: press shutter release button again)
- Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 has exposure problems (screen stutters between a normal and darker than normal exposure, photos seem fine)
No problems noted so far:
Let’s start a list of Nikon Z compatible (and not-compatible) third party lenses – please add your feedback in the comments section and I will create a list.
Tokina is currently testing their lenses and the results from the Tokina 24-70mm Ff/2.8 AT-X Pro FX are optimistic:
Here is the official notice from Tamron:
Notice about compatibility for Nikon Z7 with Tamron lenses
Dear users and potential purchasers of Tamron interchangeable lenses. Thank you for using Tamron products and for your continuous support.
We would like to announce that we have discovered issues that some of Tamron Di/Di II series for Nikon mount models may not be operational properly on Nikon Z7, which was newly released on September 28, 2018, with Nikon Mount Adapter FTZ.
We are in process to search for the causes and will make further announcement of the compatibility for every single model once we find the solution.
Sigma already issued a press release that all of their lenses are comparable with the Nikon Z7 mirrorless camera:
Sigma confirms that their lenses work with the Nikon Z7 + FTZ adapter combo
