Will it fit?

What lenses fit the Nikon Z8?

The short answer

The Nikon Z8 has a Nikon Z mount and a full frame sensor. Nikon Z lenses fit directly. PL, Canon EF, Nikon F, Canon FD, M42, Leica M and Sony E lenses fit with an adapter.

    The camera's own mount — nothing extra needed.

Fits with an adapter

Sensor coverage

Lenses made for full frame and large format cover its full frame sensor fully.

Lenses made for Super 16, Micro Four Thirds and Super 35 throw a smaller image, so expect dark corners unless you shoot in a crop mode that matches.
