Barmy mount adapter lets you put medium-format lenses on Nikon APS-C or full-frame cameras

Shoten Mount Adapter GXTZ used to attach GF lenses to two Nikon cameras .

And I thought Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man/Superman was the wackiest crossover event of the year, but that was before I came across this mount adapter designed to mount Fujifilm GFX-compatible lenses on Nikon Z-Series cameras. To be clear, this isn’t an official product from Fujifilm or Nikon; the Mount Adapter GXTZ is made by third-party manufacturer Shoten Koubou Co and was released on April 24, with an RRP of JP¥72,000 (roughly $450 / £330 / $630).

The mount adapter allows you to put Fujifilm GF lenses on Nikon Z-Series cameras, with electronic contacts to support both AF acquisition (including face/eye detection) and camera-to-lens aperture control. The mount also supports both optical and in-body image stabilization and allows the use of a lens’s Fn button. If you’re using a fully manual GFX-compatible lens, the adapter will also allow the camera to gather EXIF data.
