The following video presents Nikon Z 6 Product Tour Video (updated):
“Compact body. Big mount. Bright lenses. Strong build. Bring your ideas into the light with the Nikon Z 6 full-fame mirrorless. When you have a fast full-frame sensor to shoot with, you have the power to make your mark…

The Nikon Z 6’s wide 55 mm mount diameter means your Z series camera takes in more light. Just 16 mm between the mount and the camera’s full-frame image sensor means more of that light reaches the sensor.

The powerful optical design of Nikon Z mount lenses, combined with the wide mount, gives you the power to work magic with light.

With the Mount Adapter FTZ attached to your Z 6 camera, you’re free to use existing F-mount NIKKOR lenses. There’s no loss of image quality. Plus non-VR lenses will find new levels of sharpness with in-camera VR.“

Tamron recently announced the compatibility of certain Tamron lenses on mirrorless full-frame cameras Nikon Z 6 & Z 7 and Nikon mount adapter FTZ, and on mirrorless full-frame cameras Canon EOS R and EOS RP and Canon EF-EOS R mount adapter.

The following video presents Canon EOS R System Operability:

Compatibility of Tamron lenses with Nikon Z6 / Z7 and Canon EOS R / RP

August 13, 2019

Many Tamron lenses can be used with the lens adapter in conjunction with the mirrorless full-frame system cameras from Canon (e.g. EOS R/RP) and Nikon (e.g. Z6/Z7). For full compatibility, an update of the lens firmware is required for older Tamron Models. Newer Models are shipped with compatible firmware.

You can easily update the firmware yourself with the Tamron TAP-in console. Screw the lens onto the console, which you then connect to the computer via USB cable. Start the software “TAP-in Utility” and follow the steps of the update instructions. You can download the software here.

If you don’t have a TAP-in Console, please contact Tamron Service.
