does it work with zoom lenses.

Tilta are also considering doing this in RF,Z and L mount.

If they make an adaptor for Nikon Z is it likely to be PL mount ? At 33 secs he says PL lenses don't cover a full frame sensor so you are limited to APS-C crop mode .Hopefully M42 to PL and Nikon F to PL will give full frame coverage

Some PL lenses don't cover full frame.  Most vintage ones were intended only for use on Super 35, but some have image circles big enough for vistavision/full frame.
