Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter Uncategorized Discussion

When I use my FTZ-II adaptor, it doesn't go on smoothly.  It feels tight, and you can feel the metal rubbing against the metal.  

I want to return it, but I got it at Nikon's sale price, and they will not send me another one unless I pay the extra 50 dollars.

It was purchased from Nikon directly, and I received it less than a month ago.

Some internet sites say this is normal and nothing is wrong.

Do you have any ideas on this?

Two questions

 

Does it feel rough on the adapter to body side or the lens to adapter side ?

I just tried 3 different Z mount lenses and then the adapter with an F mount lens. The adapter and the Z mount lenses feel about the same going on and off.

All 4 attempts were smooth with a minor increase in tension as the adapter was twisted half way on or halfway off. It almost feels like a spring pusing between the lens and body or adapter and body. Again, this felt the same on all 3 lenses and adapter.

 

If its under warranty, Nikon should exhnage it or replace it for no extra charge. Are you here in the US? Maybe policies are different in other countries. But reeason would dictate  that if you buy something on sale and it doesnt work right, they replace it. Its not a bait and switch to make you buy something then upsell you on a non deffective item.

Sounds fishy.
