MonsterAdapter Announces LA-FZ11, LA-NZ1 Z-Mount Adapters for Nikon F and Contax N

MonsterAdapter was reported to announce two Z-mount adapters tied to CP+ 2026 coverage: the LA-FZ11, an updated manual-focus adapter for Nikon F-mount non-CPU lenses, and the LA-NZ1 for Contax N-mount lenses. NikonRumors framed the timing explicitly: "At the 2026 CP+ show, which starts tomorrow, MonsterAdapter will announce two new Z-mount adapters:" and NikonRumors’ post includes images labeled "MonsterAdapter LA-FZ11 adapter" and "MonsterAdapter LA-NZ1 adapter."

Coverage republished on Cameraegg described both adapters as mechanical and non-electronic, noting specifically, "These adapters do not include any electronic features, making them purely mechanical solutions for users who prefer manual control over autofocus and exposure settings." Cameraegg also called the pair "notable for their precision engineering and compatibility with a wide range of manual lenses," and reiterated that the LA-FZ11 targets Nikon F-mount non-CPU glass. No pricing or street date for LA-FZ11 or LA-NZ1 has been released so far.

The LA-NZ1 is presented as Contax N support for Nikon Z bodies; Cameraegg and NikonRumors both identify Contax N-mount lenses as the LA-NZ1’s target. NikonRumors’ post and Cameraegg’s republish are the only published signals of the announcement so far, and Cameraegg includes affiliate links to major retailers while noting the absence of MSRP information: "While no pricing details have been revealed yet, the release of these adapters highlights MonsterAdapter’s commitment to expanding lens compatibility for Z-mount users."

It is important not to conflate these new, mechanical models with a separate electronic MonsterAdapter product. PRONEWS has documented a different model, the LA-FZ1, as an electronic mount adapter with a built-in AF drive and EXIF recording: "The MonsterAdapter LA-FZ1 is an electronic mount adapter that allows Nikon F-mount lenses to be used with Nikon Z-mount cameras. It features a built-in AF drive motor ... Shooting data such as focal length and exposure are recorded as Exif information." That description applies to LA-FZ1 only; Cameraegg and NikonRumors describe LA-FZ11 and LA-NZ1 as lacking electronics.

Distribution clues are thin but notable: NikonRumors points out that MonsterAdapter products are sold at B&H Photo, and Cameraegg links to Amazon and B&H in its coverage. A Threads repost of the NikonRumors link recorded 287 views, showing early interest around the story link circulation.

Practical takeaway for anyone packing a bag of legacy glass: the LA-FZ11 and LA-NZ1, as described, are mechanical adapters intended to put manual Contax N and non-CPU Nikon F lenses on Nikon Z bodies without electronic support. Expect to rely on the camera’s manual metering and focus aids rather than aperture transmission or EXIF pass-through unless MonsterAdapter confirms otherwise. Follow-up at CP+ or an official MonsterAdapter statement should provide full specs, pricing and availability; until then treat the LA-FZ11 and LA-NZ1 as precision mechanical adapters rather than electronic converters.
