It's not a warning against using these lenses and accessories. Just don't have them attached to the Z8 while updating to the new firmware.

WARNING: Nikon says problems may happen if you do this Z8 v3.0 firmware update with any 3rd party lens or lens adapter installed. Tamron now says don't do it, Viltrox is issuing the same warning, and Megadap says don't update with their AF lens adapters installed. I will go 1 further and just...

A few more from Jurustic Park

Also Sunday: visited the creatures of Jurustic Park.
