I don't find it "strange".  Though I don't use ADL much myself, it can still be a useful tool in appropriate situations - even when shooting NEF's.

I'm not suggesting using one would be a good idea in this case, but step-down rings are widely available: https://www.srb-photographic.co.uk/srb-82-77mm-step-down-ring-2661-p.asp

Have you double-checked whether Exposure bracketing is turned on (as was suggested in the original discussion)? If not, posting a pair of your images (one light, one dark) with EXIF data intact ...

I guess you don't class Panasonic as a "major" manufacturer...?  They currently have 11 full-frame mirrorless lenses, Nikon has 17 Z FX offerings.

Glad you've got it sorted now :-) Regarding the second shot, there's no way any IBIS or VR system can compensate for zooming during the exposure.

Your 50-250mm lens has a zoom throw of around 70 degrees for the full zoom range.  Depending on your starting focal length, I imagine it wouldn't take more than 10 degrees of rotation to get that ...

Nikon themselves did not mention September regarding the Z9 - their development announcement merely said it was scheduled for release in 2021. And the September firmware update has only ever been ...

It would have to move backwards (or forwards) by several metres to end up looking anything like that.  I'm not sure why you can't accept that the zoom ring may have been turned - no-one is saying ...

It certainly looks like the lens was zoomed accidentally while the shutter was open.  I can't see any other way you'd get that particular effect.

I presume you're trying to make a joke...? Agreed!

Yes, that is normal. If you mount a VR lens with its own VR on/off switch on a Z camera via the FTZ, the lens switch controls both lens VR and camera "IBIS", and the camera menu item is unavailable.

Your original post didn't seem to be asking for helpful suggestions, just wondering why it's like it is and calling it a "huge design flaw". No, I said that looking down on the Mode dial as being ...

I don't think we're ignoring them - just trying to point out that not everyone finds the U1-3 system to be as much of a problem as you seem to. I've used both systems pretty extensively, and once I ...

The images of a Z9 under test at the recent Olympic Games show quite clearly that it does not have a Mode dial. https://nikonrumors.com/2021/07/29/first-pictures-of-the-back-of-the-nikon-z9-camera. ...

Nope - it's exactly the same system that Nikon has used for years on their lower-end and "prosumer" DSLR's - and even before that, their mid-range film SLR's had a Mode dial.

I'm not sure that an article about camera capabilities is relevant to the question of how the Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S stacks up against either of the F-mount equivalents.  For me at least, the improved ...

I can see a clear benefit in resolution from the Z lens compared with the G lens, especially away from the centre.  I'm not the only one... https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-z-24-70mm-f2-8-s/3

That's not correct. With a VR lens on a Z5, 6 or 7, the two systems work together. Either both are on or both are off - controlled via the camera's Shooting menu, or with the lens VR switch if it ...

I agree.  Whatever one thinks of the vlogger(s) in question, it should be possible to express one's feelings without resorting to the use of a word that risks upsetting others.

I don't have a Z fc (yet...!), but on my Z7, it works in the way Alan describes. With an AF-S/AF-P lens mounted on the FTZ and set to A/M focus mode rather than M, the focus arrows and dot still ...
