Pros & Cons

Pros

The adapter's helicoid ring has an interrupted ridge texture that nicely complimented the pentax lens. From most angles you see the shiny chrome ring of the z mount and the shiny chrome ring of the lens. This isn't the most solid adapter one will ever...  Read More

It fits perfectly and really helps to eliminate unwanted light coming at from the side of my eye. It fits both the lens and the camera snugly and works really well. Oem-like fit on both mounts.

The super tak locks on firmly. Fully retracted it feels as solid as you could want. It's a little heavy, but it's small.

Rubber eyepiece is substantial and rotates to be useful for right eye or left eye. It blocks side light giving you a higher-contrast view of your viewfinder. Cutout in the top allows for flawless functionality of the sensor.



Cons

The lens feels loose and rotational play in the mount both at the lens side as well as the body. The spacer/shim has 36mm inner diameter where the lens has 42mm diameter so the spacer is blocking the lens to screw all way in. Unlike the original nikon...  Read More

Quality


The build quality is very good for the price


Easy to install quality rubber and ability to swivel shade point is awesome addition to my nikon


7x it does not work with the celestron off axis guider this adaptor is too long


For the z6 or the fotasy there is no support for automatically closing the diaphragm and certainly no autofocus if you attach an nonaf lens

Price


It is built well and worth the price


For the very low price i highly recommend it to revive your old manual focus lenses


The price is extremely reasonable for anything that could be used with a leica product


All those little gold contacts for the auto functions are not in the fotasy which is why it costs 110 the nikon ftz

Competitiveness


I have a nikon z6 and a canon fd 50mm 1


With my jump to a z6 i was glad to find this aftermarket eyepiece


Works perfectly much less expensive than nikon’s alternative


I took a quick look at m42 to nikon z adapters and found a ton kipon novoflex fotodiox fotasy vello etc

    My contact lenses work as intended manually on nikon z6


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I took one star because the lens side of the adapter could be little smoother

    Do not loose or discard tiny allen wrench in package you may need to assure lens settings show up on top could have better instructions


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Well dimensioned focuses at infinity as it shouldworks well with most m42 lenses i have must be fully manual fixed not auto iso you only set shutter speed in cameraas in old time cameras you manually focus wide open then stop down to adjust exposure


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For pre af nikon lenses the 250 ftz only functions to attach the lens to my z6


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For the z6 or the fotasy there is no support for automatically closing the diaphragm and certainly no autofocus if you attach an nonaf lens


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also the lack of a tripod attachment sometimes is an advantage allowing unlimited mounting opportunities no matter what is attached to the bottom of the camera


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ignore those 1star ratings from those without a clue as to why they get no autofocus or auto diaphragm control
