Recommended lenses for the Nikon Z7 / Z7 II
Here are the recommended lenses for the Nikon Z7 / Z7 II. Photographylife tested several Nikkor Z lenses and made a quick list from their recommendations.
The Z7 / Z7 II falls for Nikon’s range of high-quality full-frame mirrorless cameras. Both cameras are well suited for a wide variety of stills and video. Plus Nikon has finally put in-camera image stabilization on its cameras so you get the IBIS up to 5 stops.
Using the right lenses with the Nikon Z7 / Z7 II, it can do great work for any type of photography. This top model mirrorless camera has a 46-megapixel CMOS sensor and quality 4K video using the full width of the sensor.

The Nikon Z7 / Z7 II features the Z lens mount, which support Nikon’s line of Z-mount lenses. The Z mount itself makes much of this possible with a 17% larger inner diameter than the F mount, enabling the use of more advanced optics and lens designs, including ultra-fast f/0.95 options. Additionally, this mount design also lends full compatibility to existing Nikon F-mount lenses via an optional FTZ Mount Adapter. So, if you have some Nikon F-mount lenses, you can just get the Nikon FTZ Mount Adapter to make full use of your Nikon F-mount lenses.
