[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 759910, member: 46724"] Right now, there isn't a native Nikon macro for the z system. Probably the best way to go for a macro lens right now built for the Z is with that Laowa if you dont want to use an FTZ adapter. Keep in mind, it's manual focus only. I am using a Tokina 100mm macro on the Z6, which auto focuses perfectly fine on my DSLR but because there is not passthrough screwdrive on the FTZ, it is also regulated to manual focus only. I dont mind too much, the focus peaking is a huge help with manual focus plus the IBIS in the Z6 offers stabilization whereas the same lens on the DSLR has none. For autofocus, (Af-s) you could look into the 40mm f2.8 macro, 60mm f2.8 macro, 85mm f3.5 macro or the 105 f2.8 macro all for the F mount and to be used with the FTZ adapter. There is also the option to go old school, skip auto focus and snag something like the 55mm f2.8 ais or 60mm af-d. Personally, I am fairly happy with the Tokina until I can save my pennies for the Z mount 105 f2.8 that is shown as an upcoming lens on the Z roadmap. Edit: Tamron and Sigma not mentioned because the new ones that work with the FTZ are expensive and the older models are iffy at best on the FTZ. [/QUOTE]
