well...i know the RF crowd isn't big but it's still a Nikkor

[Erik Lund]

Yes the rangefinder community is rather small, especially the Nikkor one, I think they will have a very vintage look on the Z7 and Z6 


But interesting to see the lens inside, thanks!

Who will be the first to offer an adapter for those nice old RF Nikkors on the Z models? I'd purchase such a contraption immediately.

[Erik Lund]

To start off with you could use a Nikon S- Rangefinder to Leica M/LTM adapter and a stack it on the Leica M to Nikon Z adapter 

[richardHaw]

it depends. a bar buddy of mine tried with a Contax/S to M and the new shoten M to Z combo. it didn't work 

he said that it didn't reach infinity 

Amedeo is the best person for this and Cosina is the best company that makes these. I hope they make one.

Amedeo is trying to rebuild his life after he fled his country due to civil unrest.

That is a matter of removing a mount and slicing of a few 1/10 mm of the length and re assemble

A genuine nerd project, Erik. I have the Amadeo adapter for old RF Nikkors to Sony E-mount. Can order factory spare parts (Z bayonet mount) from Nikon. The middleman should be you ...

Sony E has register distance 18mm and the new Nikon Z is 16mm. Hmm.

should be possible
