I used a D3100/D3200 for many years, and spent a few years on a D7500, and moved last year to a Z5. I find that the FTZ works perfectly with F lenses (DX or FX) and while it seems like they would ...

That's probably sensor dust or a hair. Try a gentle blast of air onto the sensor from a manual squeeze blower. Don't use a compressed air can as it could damage it. Don't rub anything on it unless ...

I have found both MPB and KEH to be pretty accurate on their ratings of lens conditions. I have bought from my local camera store with good results, too. I think ebay and Craigslist and the like ...

Yes...looks like that first one, with the extra aperature stopper ring. Other models have the year encoded in the SN, but the formula didn't seem to work for mine.

I have a different Soligor 135mm/f2.8 with a T2 mount and the serial number (which starts with T2) doesn't match any of the serial number patterns I found online so I haven't figured out the year ...

I am one of those old-school freaks who loves 50mm, but i think it is too narrow for a some group shots, and you might be happier with a 35 in those situations. It's not so wide that it looks ...

Yes. My Z5 tags all the pictures with geo data even when I pull the files directly off the card into my laptop.

I have a Z5 and was complaining about the high price of primes. I decided to try a used AF-S 50/1.4G and I'm very happy with it. I already had the FTZII because I wanted to make sure I could use ...

If you need the reach, or don't care about the bigger size, get the longer lens. Otherwise, the 24-50 is a great walking around lens as it is small and light and very crisp. But it is not great in ...

Best Buy is a good place to showroom for Nikon--my local ones have the Zfc and Z50, along with a few full frame options. They are powered up and you can use them. When I was shopping earlier this ...

I assume you are asking about video here. The Z5 in DX mode (which it automatically switches to with a DX lens, native or on FTZ adapter) has a 1.5x crop factor. With 4K video it has a 1.7x crop ...

So I did give that lens another go and (like the kit zoom lens, which is very crisp) I am much happier with the picture quality than my initial assessment when I got the camera. It is probably a ...

I see a lot of people complaining here and wondering who would buy this. Obviously people who shell out for a Z7 or Z9 are not the target market for this, nor pros looking for their work gear. But ...

I use the Z5 auto mode when I am taking pictures of people, and it is great in those situations, but I find that it often doesn't know what to focus on with landscape shots. Especially if it is a ...

If you have most of your needs covered with adapted lenses, then the easy way put something native on the camera is to go with the one of the el-cheapos that Nikon has put out. They are fast and ...

I picked up the Fotasy adapter for my Z5 to play with some old lenses my dad had for Leicas and NIccas in his collection. Everything worked great (though I had to use the allen wrench included ...

I have a Nikon 105mm f2.5. It is the PC Auto version, presumably from about 1973-1975, from what I can figure out. I bought it used from my local camera shop. It is an absolutely fantastic lens. ...

Ignore this comment. Yes, the Z6 has advantages over the Z5, but it also costs a whole lot more. If you need faster continuous shots or are depending on extreme low light performance then you ...
