Nikon mount Laowa 100mm macro aperture coupling
1

Looking for some info on the Laowa 100mm macro for Nikon. Venus optics website indicates F mount lens has an aperture coupling. Presumably this allows viewing with full open aperture which then stops down with shutter trip. Can anyone who own this lens confirm that this is the case.

Z mount has no aperture linkage so my question is - if using the F mount Laowa with FTZ adaptor on a Z body does the aperture linkage work to provide wide aperture viewing that stops down for exposure? If tis is the case it seems F mount Laowa with FTZ may be a better option than Z mount Laowa which is fully manual with no linkage to camera body.

I would really appreciate advice from anyone who actually owns these lenses.
