Glad to know your expectations have been matched. Mine include Z-mount tilt-shift lenses which, I am afraid, are not just around the corner...
TS being, TS, its not like native ones would reduce the overall profile vs just adapting old gold.Glad to know your expectations have been matched. Mine include Z-mount tilt-shift lenses which, I am afraid, are not just around the corner...
Well, being able to dispense with the FTZ II adapters would already be a big improvement, trust me! Three tilt-shifts with three adapters in a Peak Design backpack take up quite some space! Plus, there is talk that Z-mount tilt-shifts could possibly have autofocus (although I imagine the engineering nightmare), and that would also be a big time-saver for me. I don’t complain about the IQ of the F-mount lenses, they are gorgeous and tack-sharp and color-perfect, but there is definitely lots of room for improvement in the chromatic aberration area, not to mention resistance to flare.
Brother, hold up, WHAT? FTZ's aren't lens caps, why in all hell would you need more than one...???
Yeah, well, like everyone else I began with one, and because when I’m shooting I alternate with Z-mounts, it soon became obvious that having an adapter set for life on each F-mount would make things more fluid. Before, I always found myself with the adapter still on the camera as I was about to clamp a Z-mount on it, or else not knowing where the hell I had stowed the adapter when I needed to use an F-mount... and not enough hands and lens caps to manage all that. Simpler with three adapters, really. No need to engage the brain more often than strictly necessary. I wouldn’t have gone that way with the original FTZs that were quite bulky, but the Model II is much more streamlined.
I meaaaaan, you go out to a job - typically takes 1 lens, you get that on, and mop things up. Then next job, next lens if even.
Hahaha, then you can afford a FTZ for 3 meals a day.I am afraid my “jobs” typically do require more than one lens...
Agreed, some contributors are harder to understand than others.A thread had never confused me more than this one, but since I don't have a mirrorless Nikon, I guess it doesn't matter.
I guess this is basically about the OP being happy that Nikon released a pancake lens that they will use on their Zf.
And you have NO idea how much! Again, lived and loved 45AI-P, but good god did I wish it had AF, just like 20/1.8 had VR on the Df.... HahahahahaAgreed, some contributors are harder to understand than others.
