  Verified Purchase

  Nikon claims that: "The Mount Adapter FTZ lets you keep shooting the lenses you know and love while also gaining the benefits of the new Z system." Because of this claim, I moved to a Mirrorless camera.
  
  I bought this adapter to use with a new Nikon Z8 and my original lenses: Nikon AF-S 16-35 mm F/4G, Nikon AF-S 700-200 mm f/2.8, and Nikon AF-S 200-500mm f/5.6.
  
  This adapter worked without problems for four weeks, and then one day, while shooting a sunrise with the best light, I got the Error "Press the shutter-release button to reset" with my three AF-S lenses.
  
  I tried various solutions, including cleaning contacts, removing battery, changing lenses, and resetting the camera to factory settings, but the issue persisted.
  
  Upon removing the adapter, the error message disappeared, but my morning was lost.
  
  I took my camera to the store, and they informed me this is a prevalent issue when using non-Nikon Z lenses with the adapter. The store suggested I should buy the "original" Z lenses instead.
  
  I replaced the adapter with a new one, but I am disappointed to learn that this adapter has a common issue and likely will ruin another photoshoot session.
  
  Something to think about if you are planning to move to a mirrorless camera using your AF-S lenses.
