I've had my Z5 for a couple of months now and I am generally happy with it. I understand that what I want in a camera is different than most photographers. I've been using Olympus micro four ...

I guess because I can. I picked up a couple of Kodak cine lenses to use on micro four thirds. Then when I got a Z5, of course I had to try them....

I enjoy using old film lenses for the unique images I can make with them (and their cost). This Industar 61 is a 52mm f/2.8 rangefinder lens.  It's a tessar lens, a Soviet copy of German design ...

That would be true.  I think I have been spoiled by the Olympus IBIS.

Yes, I had it on silent shutter.  Thank you.  I use the electronic shutter on my Olympus E-M1 as a default except for moving objects and sometimes inside as it has a maximum shutter speed of ...

I recently purchased a Z5 to have a full frame camera to use with adapted manual lenses. I've been learning and enjoying the new camera and use electronic shutter as a default for most situations ...

I have been very fortunate in all of this.  I do farm, right in the middle of the USA, and my work is mostly outside, by myself and so we don't have to go anywhere very much.  And I am free to go ...

There's really no point to using M4/3 lenses on a full-frame camera that I can see.  What this adapter does is allow me to explore the lenses I have without buying a batch of new adapters.  Time ...

The only place I've seen it is on ebay from China. But this is what you get using a native micro four thirds lens: The other thing I've found is while my adapters lock firmly into place, my M4/3 ...

That would make some sense if you already use Panasonic. I was hoping the S5 would be the camera I wanted as I have a positive impression of Panasonic even though I come from Olympus.  As it ...

Thanks everyone. Eventually I will choose how I want to approach this. 20 or 21mm would also mate nicely with my Olympus cameras, especially one of the little Voigtlanders. Anybody have experience ...

I've been using adapted lenses on Olympus cameras for some time, recently picked up a Nikon Z5 to expand what I can do with those lenses, especially wide.  I have been enjoying what I can do with ...

You can get manual lenses in a different mount and use a simple adapter to Z. Here is a search on B&H for 7Artisans Leica M lenses: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?q=7artisans%20leica There ...

That is encouraging.  I've been saving jpg + raw for a couple of years now just in case....

Yes, I need to experiment with all of this. I have been given some tools here to do that and I am appreciative. I enjoy using a camera and lenses more than I do editing the pictures so I've never ...

Thanks,  If that is what I think it is, it will be easier than experimenting in camera.

Here are a few straight from my Olympus setting.  I'll often adjust them some but I like a different starting point than default.  Since I use old lenses, I don't mind something a little gritty ...

Thank you.  I did not know of this.

I'm curious if any of you have jpeg monochrome settings that you like and would be willing to share.  I have a new Z5, also Olympus cameras that I use with old SLR and rangefinder lenses.  I'd ...

The M4/3 to Z adapter does work, the fit on both sides seems ok. I'm not sure how durable the lens locking mechanism will be over time. Here is a fun one with three adapters: Kodak Anastigmat 63mm ...
