The FTZ needs reworking to allow slow AF to the camera for AF and AFD lenses.
Apparently Nikon just need to put a 'screwdriver motor' into the FTZ and change the F mount flange to one with the screwdriver AF interface. Power comes from the camera battery same as in the older camera bodies!
Camera purchase choices are driven by personal preferences as well as camera specifications so that is fine.
Two models of FTZ would be better, FTZ-E with just the electronic interface, and no tripod socket. FTZ-A for both electronic and mechanical interface, and no tripod socket. That would allow those who don't need the mechanical drive to have a cheaper and lighter adaptor.
