The lens will not autofocus on this camera, even with the adapter. That's generally not a problem for macro work. It may not be to your liking if you decide to use this lens for general photography. On that camera, it could be used as a portrait lens, but it won't autofocus.

Manual focus is fine for regular macro work, but the Nikon Z cameras have built in focus stacking which requires autofocus.

I forgot about that, so the lens has two strikes against it on that camera. It all boils down to what the OP wants to do with it.

Thanks for the info.
I need to decide if I'll use it for macro only or for all around
A friend offered me the lens for $250.
