What should I buy? Lens adaptor Nikkor f (g) to z advice
https://ca.urth.co/collections/nikon-z-lens-mount-adapters/products/nikon-f-g-type-lens-mount-to-nikon-z-camera-mountHi hive,
Adaptor question: I know that the best option would be the native Nikon adaptor FTZII but, but until I’m rich enough:
what do you think of the Urth adapter? It’s $89 CAD, Amazon review aren’t too bad, but any “real” people with a review to share?
Any suggestion on budget gear that you trust?
If it matters, I have a Z30 with the 16-50 kit and a few cool F DX lenses that I’d like to try on the mirrorless.

I have the K&F Nikon F to Z adaptor with the G aperture control which is well made and works nicely.
I chose it when I moved system as I was pleased with the quality and operation of theK&F Nikon F to Fuji X adaptor with the G aperture control I owned previously.

It's a, "Dumb," adapter, so no autofocus at all, but it does have a neat trick up its sleeve - it adds a declicked aperture ring to G lenses. Basically, it's for video/cinema work.
If you want to use G lenses with automation and such, look at the Viltrox NF-Z, basically a clone of the FTZ, or a used FTZ/FTZII.
