[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 784640, member: 50197"] Well, it came in this afternoon. I tried it out on my Z5 with the FTZ adapter. Autofocus stutters a lot when up close. Not too bad at distance, but if it's prefocused a good bit off, it just gives up. I was afraid I'd have to send it back, but decided to try it on my D3400. Worked flawlessly. I guess it doesn't like the FTZ adapter. I also noticed that many of the shots were overexposed. I suspect that this model just may not play nice with the FTZ adapter. Disappointing, but not a big issue, as it is for my daughter to use with her F mount camera. I may try it again later, after my daughter has a chance to use it some and see if perhaps I didn't have the lens or adapter fully engaged. I may also need to see if there might be an issue with this model lens not being compatible with the FTZ. That's something I really didn't check since it was for her D5600. I really like the distance from subject this gives, and yet still enables large magnification. Depth of field is very narrow. This is to be expected. I've never had an actual macro lens before.
