That is my point though--the pre-AI lenses are not supported by your D7100 (unless they are converted).  Nikon could have solved this as they did in the Df, with the retractable AI feeler; but ...

There are pros & cons to each approach. If they did translations in the adapter, they didn't have to worry about adding additional hardware & software into every single future camera purely for ...

We've already seen a picture of the adapter on a Z9. My take: (1) (Removal): It won't have a built-in tripod foot (2) (Continue): It won't have an ...

Correct that you cannot have it do monitor only; but you can have it so that the review shows on the rear.  And if you turn automatic review off as in the OP's use case, you just move the camera ...

That's because you did step #1 incorrectly.  Image review is not supposed to be monitor only.  Re-read what I wrote again.

Read my response below. The Nikon Z6ii does work the same as all other Nikon DSLRs (frame in the viewfinder; review on the rear LCD), but you still have yours set up incorrectly.  You need to use ...

Canon's (200mm+) full RF lineup includes only the following: Over $10000: (1) 600mm F/4 (identical to the EF DSLR mount lens, with a built-in adapter)

You need to "Prioritize viewfinder." This is done through the button with the box icon on the side of the viewfinder, which will cycle through various options. Separately, in the menus, you may ...

Though this thread is old, I'll chime in again. Canon trashed it's manual focus lens base only, and today, Canon has better autofocus backwards compatibility than Nikon does. Nikon could have done ...

@Richard Butler: As I said since day 1: this is due to Canon's use of dual pixels. Canon cannot yet compete with the A1 (and upcoming Z9) regarding the combination of high resolution and fast...

They already have a 20mm F/1.8.

I don't mind it at all. It's a relatively compact and relatively cheap lens at $650. In fact, I hope Nikon eventually follows suit, offering F/4 ($5000+), F/5.6 ($1500), and F/8 (<$1000) telephoto ...

The full-frame-equivalent (in terms of framing, DOF, light-gathering, etc.) to a 24-70mm F/2.8 would be a 16-47mm F/1.9. If you wanted an equivalent specifically to the Z-mount S lens, you will ...

Anyone who's been on this forum long enough knows I only use custom profiles. :-) I don't post as much for reasons, but search for my username and picture controls. You should find a bunch of ...

I think what you wrote above is correct regarding Thom "changing his tune" and "softened on that after hearing..." and not accepting being wrong.  And importantly, it holds the key to my point: Tho ...

I am aware, and that's why I wrote what I wrote. As I described, a Z6 or Z7 as they've existed so far does not "grow the user base" so much as it migrates some existing users from Nikon DSLR to ...

A reminder:  The entire Z system is more compelling than what Thom came up with.  Thom wanted an F-mount mirrorless system and was very anti-new-mount.

When Kickstarter runs dry, make sure to move over to Indigogo to dupe those "investors" (who aren't "customers") out of their money too before vanishing. Isn't that right Meyer Optik Görlitz? Or...

I think as always, he looks back instead of forward; and that he is lacking the technical & business expertise to understand why we have the cameras we do; and that he contradicts himself across ...

That's assuming the Z9, Z6III, and Z7III units exceed their dwindling units of D3500 & D5600 (and also assuming that the rest of the industry does not grow again in 2022), since market share is a %. ...
