[QUOTE="DrJ, post: 826400, member: 50853"] Of course I add all my old lenses to the Non-CPU lens list in the camera. By doing this, the in-body stabilization works when using a listed lens. Because I use my old lenses a lot, I assign the Fn3 button on the left-back side of the camera to the function that allows me to change the non-cpu lens I am using. As far as focus-peaking is concerned, I have tried it and adjusted the sensitivity up and down, but I find that it is not very accurate, compared to the focus confirmation (or zooming in). I do wish that Nikon had made it possible to use subject recognition while in manual focus mode. I have read that curiously the ZF does enable subject detection while in manual focus mode. I don't have one so I can't check this, but it make little sense that Nikon would turn off a great feature on the Z8 while enabling it on their less expensive ZF. The aperture on all these old lenses, regardless of manufacturer, is only controlled by the aperture ring and the camera has no way to electronically communicate with the lens. Exposure and focus confirmation are the only things the camera body can control. [/QUOTE]
