Prime lenses, telephoto lenses and the FTZ II mount adapter, from 173 € to 342 €.
The adapter separates its claims
Full autofocus and automatic exposure, named as two distinct functions rather than bundled into one word — which is exactly what the adapter shelf’s own advice asks for, since the two are commonly sold as a single promise.
And then names nothing
Four bullets, no lens, no body, no optical element. “Numerous F lenses” stands where a compatibility list belongs, and an F-mount lens without a built-in focus motor has to be checked before buying rather than after.
A new level of sharpness, from an empty tube
The same page claims it. Adapting F to Z means restoring a distance rather than correcting an optical error, so nothing inside acts on sharpness — an adapter in that direction preserves what the lens does and cannot improve it.
55-300mm · f/4.5 at the short end, f/5.6 at the long one · VR stabilisation, four stops claimed · 17 elements in 11 groups, two of them ED · no tripod collar published · no minimum focus published · no filter thread published · no sealing claimed · no weight published · hood, pouch and both caps supplied
The most conventionally documented lens on this shelf at 342 €, publishing its optical construction element by element and four stops of VR, and leaving the tripod collar, the filter thread and the weight unstated.
Best for: A DX body reaching to 300mm handheld, where four stops of VR do the work a tripod would otherwise have to.
Nikon F mount · FX format, framing as 75mm on a DX body · 50mm · f/1.8 · Silent Wave Motor · two focus modes, autofocus and manual · aspherical element · 58mm filter thread · no blade count published · no minimum focus published · no sealing claimed · no weight published
The classic normal prime on the F mount at 219 €, publishing a 58mm thread, a Silent Wave Motor and its DX framing — on a page that prints the same five bullets twice over.
Best for: A normal prime on an FX body, or a short portrait lens on a DX one, where a motor in the lens and a cheap thread matter as much as the glass.
One hundred and eighty-five euros to put F-mount lenses on a Z body, with full autofocus and auto exposure claimed for "numerous" of them — and four bullets that name none.
Mounts joined
F to Z — the second true mount adapter on this shelf, beside the 95 € Canon. The intro above explains the direction: F sits far from the sensor because it was built around a mirror, Z sits close, so the adapter restores a distance rather than correcting an optical error
Contacts present
Not itemised, but necessarily there: the second bullet claims full autofocus and automatic exposure, and neither is possible through a passive tube. The page never says how many contacts or what else passes — stabilisation communication and metadata are not mentioned
Functions claimed
Two, and separately, which is more than any other adapter page here manages: FULL AUTOFOCUS and AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE, for "numerous" F lenses. The intro above warns that claims of this kind are graded rather than binary and that makers usually publish a compatibility list; the word "numerous" is doing the work of that list
Optical elements
None named, and none is required in this direction
Tripod foot
Not mentioned anywhere in four bullets. The intro above calls a foot important as soon as the lens outweighs the body, which describes most F-mount telephotos on a Z body
Aperture ring
Not mentioned. Older F lenses with no electronic aperture depend on how the adapter drives the mechanical lever, and the page says nothing about that at all
Build
Robust and protected against dust and splashes, in the fourth bullet, with good ergonomics claimed in the first. The third bullet — "a new level of sharpness" — is a claim about image quality on a device this page never says contains an optical element

EAN
4960759909121
Autofocus and automatic exposure claimed as two separate functions, not as one word
Dust and splash protection on a 185 € adapter, matching the 95 € Canon here
Four bullets, and not one names a lens or a body
Best for: F-mount glass moving onto a Z body, for a buyer who will check their own lenses against the maker’s published list elsewhere.
Each amount in a write-up is what the listing showed when that page was written. The figure next to the product is pulled in as you read, and it is the one that counts.
