Dandelion chips on Z cameras?
Snoogly:
Thanks everyone, but now I’m just baffled. The chip works perfectly used with a D750, but does nothing on a Z6ii.
Maybe I should update the FTZ firmware again, to give it a kick up the ****?
Jan Anne:
You can try turning the lens a bit back and forth, some of my adapters have too much play and the CPU might loose contact when turned too far in one direction.
Birna Rørslett:
You also need to have the aperture set to the minimum. There is a tab that should be pressed in by the lens on the side of the FTZ. A loose fit prevents this from happening from time to time.

Very friendly and helpful guy, after some quick back and forths about my usage requirements he programmed the chipped adapter and uploaded a video of it working on a Canon camera before shipping. As the chip is on an adapter no additional work was needed for the 50/1.2 to make it work with the Z6.
Please be aware that I already had the €300 Fringer EF-NZ adapter for my CV125 in Canon EF mount so chipping the 50/1.2 this way only costed me €42 :)

Does the small difference between the Nikon and Canon flange distance have any effect, or is taken into account with the chipped adapter?

Thanks Jan Anne - I was aware of the second adapter (Fringer). It is good that it is accepting of the Dandelion chip.
