Autofocus performance

While it isn’t going to be as fast as using native Z mount lenses or Nikon lenses using the FTZ adapter, it should still be usable as long as your expectations aren’t sky high.

Canon EF lenses will provide full frame coverage The adapter has been loaded with the Canon lens library which means the adapter is able to recognize any EF or EF-S lens licensed by Canon.
