I have, Tamron SP 24-70 F2.8 and Tamron 90mm Macro both.. Working perfectly with Nikon Z7 and FTZ adapter.
My Tamron SP 24-70mm G2 won’t work. Do you have the G2?
The Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 G2 has a firmware update (if you have the tap in console) as does the 85mm f/1.8 so they now work fine with the FTZ adapter. The Tamron 28-75 lens works just fine as is (its the original version of the lens not the newer one).
I have the Samyang 35mm f/1.4 and it definitely has the stutter issue identified. I wonder if it’s because its a manual focus only lens that has an aperture ring but no AE chip. So this may be a permanent problem with the adapter.
I don’t have any other third party lens to test. I have just Nikon lenses otherwise. I will say that I LOVE the zoom function with focus peaking while using manual focus lenses like the D or E series. It makes nailing sharp focus even with f1.8 lenses a breeze.
My 1 year old Samyang 12mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS Fisheye Nikon lens does not work on Z7 with adapter, monitor keeps flashing in brightness.
