Mike Tapa has also just produced a B4 2/3" to 1/3" adaptor so the choice of lenses is greatly expanded.

The interchangeable lenses of the Z7 is a huge plus for me.

Yep, for me too. I have a Nikon 300 mm and 135 mm, which translates to 2100 and almost 1000 mm and thats's a lot of telephoto! Just last week I used the 2100 to film a stranded containervessel about 3 kilometers away from my position. It filled my screen completely!
Be certain to get prime lenses though, as HD needs a high resolution lens.

Yeah, one benefit I have is my cousin is a professional photographer and has a slew of Nikon lenses. I've been using a Redrock M2 with them, but would love to be able to use some without that adapter.

This page says this adapter will do a mag of 4.8 with DX lenses. That sounds pretty workable to me.

Nikon G to 1/3" bayonet adaptor

I'm happy about this one, much cheaper than the other 2/3" to 1/3" adapters already for sale.

I've posted a video on youtube shot with the Z7 and a mediocre Tamron 200-400mm lens attached via the MTF adapter.

YouTube - Moon

I know Gary did this ages ago, but nonetheless, the moon makes an impressive subject!
