Nikon Z-mount (stylised as ℤ) is an interchangeable lens mount developed by Nikon for its full-frame mirrorless digital cameras. In late 2018, Nikon released two cameras that use this mount, the Nikon Z 7 and the Nikon Z 6. In late 2019, Nikon announced their first APS-C sensor size Z-mount camera, the Nikon Z 50. In October 2020, Nikon announced the Nikon Z6 II and Nikon Z7 II, which succeed the Z 6 and Z 7, respectively.
Nikon SLR cameras have used the Nikon F-mount, with its 44 mm diameter, since 1959. The FTZ lens adapter allows many F-mount lenses to be used on Z-mount cameras.[4] The FTZ allows AF-S, AF-P and AF-I lenses to autofocus on Z-mount cameras, while retaining metering and EXIF data with the older screw-drive AF and AF-D lenses. Z cameras support metering as well as in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with manual focus lenses.
The 55 mm diameter of the Nikon Z-mount is the largest in current use. It is much larger than the F-mount, the 46.1 mm Sony E that is used by all Sony mirrorless cameras, including those with a full-frame sensor[5] but only slightly larger than the 54 mm of both the Canon EF and Canon RF mounts. It is also slightly larger than the new 51.6 mm diameter full-frame mirrorless L-mount from Leica, Panasonic and Sigma.[6] The Z-mount has also a very short flange distance of 16 mm, which is shorter than Canon RF and Sony E.
The introduction of the Z-mount also saw the re-introduction of the Noct brand, used to describe a forthcoming 58 mm f/0.95 S Noct lens with an ultra wide maximum aperture.[7][8] This is one of the new lenses that Nikon will be developing, up to 2021, according to its "roadmap" published in late 2018.[9]
