Is there an adaptor that will enable me to use my "F" mount lenses (that I use on my D7200 and my D500) on a Nikon Z7 mirrorless....?

Ron, yes, it is called the FTZ Adapter.

Are your lenses Full Frame or APS-C lenses?

Ron, I think the first two would work. The last two lenses would probably cause the same issue that you would get using APS-C lenses on a FF DSLR.

Here is a link with photo examples of using a DX lens on a FF camera. I didn't want to just copy the photos, so posting the link to the article.

Just had a quick look and it seems it's a bit of suck & see situation..evidently some work OK and some have a small amount of vignetting.
I quite often do a bit of a crop with my pics so maybe less of an issue.
I'm only toying with buying a Z7 just now, I saw this add in an Email I received from this company today and thought it the bargain of the century..I Emailed them back and said, "I'll have one of these please" but haven't received a reply yet...

Looks like a poorly worded ad for 6 $428 payments.

Look at the actual ad.

$428 is their list price for the FTZ

DX lenses work just fine using the FTZ adapter, so don't worry about that. The only gotcha is that the Z bodies force you into DX area mode. Unlike Nikon dSLRs, the Z bodies do not give you an option to use a DX lens in FX area mode so DX vignetting on an FX sensor is irrelevant.

I have the Nikon Z6 with the FTZ ("F" to "Z") adapter. I was hoping to use all of the lenses that I invested in HOWEVER....all of my favorite Nikon type "D" lenses do not autofocus on the Nikon Z camera for there is no autofocus motor in the lens.

Moral of the story....check the Nikon Z webpage to find out which lenses will or will not autofocus before you buy unless you enjoy shooting manual focus.

I read the link. Its $4800 body only. Clearly that would be in Aussibucks.

No, different issue. Zs only allow APS-C image area with DX lenses. So you won’t have above issues but will have about 1/2 the MP.

You didn't need to post it again. Now somebody else might think it's real.

Might have been better posting the corrected one.
