AI-assisted summary — verify against linked sourcesWhere can this lens be adapted?
The Nikon Z mount has a flange distance of 16 mm. A plain adapter fits a camera whose flange distance is at least 1.46 mm shorter. How lens adapters work
- Native lenses set the aperture, and often the focus, electronically. On a plain adapter they do not work. Use an electronic adapter made for this pair; for many pairs nobody makes one. Fully manual lenses are the exception.
- Nikon Z DX lenses cover APS-C only.

No plain adapter reaches infinity focus on: Sony E, Canon RF, Fujifilm X, L-Mount, Micro Four Thirds, Fujifilm G (GFX), Canon EF-M, Canon EF, Nikon F.
