[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 791933, member: 46724"] Focus peaking works with all lenses Z mount and F mount including manual focus and af-d, (screw drive) lenses. Although the screwdrive is useless through the FTZ rendering AF lenses manual focus only, focus peaking makes it a breeze to acquire focus, certainly much better than ignoring composition to watch the focus indicator in the corner of DSLR's while trying to manually focus. No idea what brand I picked up, but I also added an aftermarket plate to extend the 150-600 foot, (foot is a generous term, its more like a toe). Off memory, I believe it was a 150mm plate that attaches via the mounting screw that I found for maybe 10 bucks off fleabay. There's a bit of rubber inside the foot so there's no twisting once its tightened down and it worked well on my star tracker, though I dont get to play with that much anymore. More often, I am using that lens to photograph wildlife where I prefer the toe with the Peak Design lug fitted to the bottom that allows the PD strap to grab the toe and also a camera body side lug. This flips the camera/lens setup over upside down and is more comfortable/secure to carry sling style, (camera upside down and against my sternum while the front lens element is at my right hip) sharing the load between the toe and the body.
