I get that - and there's enough choice now that there's no need to persevere with something that you don't like. I don't have an FTZ, and don't want or need one - I got the Z6 solely for use with ...

It takes a couple of pushes on the "display" button to get the live histogram, but yes it can be seen in the viewfinder.  I just think that camerosity has a different take on "metering" than you ...

More info needed, really - whether it's a bargain or not depends on how much you paid, after all. It looks like a genuine CZJ 135/3.5 Multi-coated Sonnar in M42 mount, with electrical connections ...

Sounds like you're using Aperture Priority.  Try switching to "M".  Shutter speed (on my set up) is on the rear wheel and shows in the display, Aperture is F-- but you know what that is, because ...

I bought a Z6 to go alongside my D750 (which replaced my D f ) solely to use old manual focus glass - not just Nikon F, all sorts of other stuff but especially M42.  The Z6 has much the same ...

I hadn't dipped into this thread until a few minutes ago, and I was going post a link to another active thread about an alternative way to use M42 lenses on Nikon F mount cameras without modifying ...

Well spotted, I'd forgotten about that aspect. I also remember reading that thread you linked to - the post about "ask your optometrist" is a good clue, but it's a starting point not the finishing ...

For which camera? It's a bit of a minefield....... https://www.nikonusa.com/fileuploads/pdfs/EP_CompChart.pdf Once you know what you're looking for, ebay or Amazon are probably the most likely ...

You're welcome. I thought I'd share this with you: Df with Nikon 200mm f/4 - non AI lens, but with factory AI modification, Taking aperture probably f/8 Just to illustrate that pre-AI lenses aren't ...

Alex, I owe you an apology, the OP in that thread was indeed not very good at responding to the many helpful answers he got, and I don't blame you for not revisiting it.  I should have thought of ...

So you did - I rarely venture into Open Talk and didn't see it.  I wonder if Tourlou ever got round to trying his 16-85 with it, that would be a good substitute for a 24-120.

I picked up a used Kenko 1.4X teleplus Pro 300 for about £70 a few months ago.  I looked to see if you had a DX 18-55 kit zoom, but spotted an 18-70 in your gear list.  With a 1.4 TC, it would ...

I used to have a D f and used it with Old F-mount MF lenses (mostly but not all made by Nikon) and I had no difficulty focussing through the OVF. I now have a Z6 and a D750, and I prefer the MF ...

About this much...... That's actually taken on a Nikon D750, but my brother has a K1 and it's the same for him.  That's the built-in hood that you can see, and it's difficult to say when the corner ...

There's another way of doing those characters on Windows PCs, they don't need to be on the keyboard itself: https://www.alt-codes.net/german_alt_codes/ Lower case a with umlaut - press the Alt key, ...

Bearing in mind the prof's interesting research, and combining it with the view often expressed by another contributor I think very highly of, Rod McD - that he usually only goes "adapted" when ...

"this lens will likely require stopped down metering techniques. Focus with aperture open and then close down for shooting." As you said, any of these lenses used via a dumb adapter will be in ...

Strange question for "Open Talk" - that is way off topic, and It's D f for what that's worth in pedantic brownie points.  But at least a thumbs-up for looking at my gear list.  I'll give a brief ...

Which still leaves me very mildly wondering how you get a 69 MB file from a Z7 42 MB or whatever it's MP count is camera, but really and truly, I don't care.

No it isn't. Here's just one dictionary definition of 'hoard': ......a stock or store of money or valued objects, typically one that is secret or carefully guarded. "he came back to rescue his ...
