I teach a yearbook course at my secondary school. I asked for, but did not think I would receive, mirrorless camera. I was away for a couple of days last week and lo and behold, when I returned, there was a mirrorless camera body (Nikon Zfc) on my desk! I need an inexpensive adapter for my AF S Nikkor 18-55 mm auto focus lens. I do not want to mess around with manual focus as most of the pictures we (I) take are sports photos. I'm not sure I will be able to get any funding for this so I may end up paying for it myself. HELP!!!

There is no such thing as a cheap F to Z adapter with autofocus and electronics...

 

The FTZ or the current FTZ II work remarkably well and the first version turns up lightly used sometimes but isn't cheap, even used.

 

Why didn't your employer buy the camera bundled with a 16-50 if the normal zoom is the only legacy glass you need? This bundle is cheaper than the body and an FTZ-adapter.
