The Nikon Z Mount is a lens mount system introduced by Nikon for its mirrorless cameras. Launched in 2018, it features a larger diameter and shorter flange distance compared to previous Nikon mounts, allowing for improved optical performance and greater design flexibility for lenses. This mount supports a range of lenses, including the new NIKKOR Z series, which are specifically designed to take advantage of the mount's capabilities. The Z Mount system also allows for the use of F-mount lenses through an adapter, providing users with versatility and access to a broader selection of photography equipment.
