I recently read an article by Batian K. on philipreeve.net in which he described the Nikon Zf as the best full-frame camera for MF lenses. In it he mentioned the use of an ETZ adapter which sounded very promising.
I switched all my Nikon AIS MF lenses to non-cpu adapters because the lenses are equipped with Dandelion chips and the IBIS of the camera does not work with them.
I have now created a small table of different MF options with the Zf. Maybe this can be helpful for someone. If someone can add further options or configurations such as Zeiss ZF2 lenses to the table, I would really appreciate it.
Can you tell us
- How you're getting on with your Z8 overall?
- Two or three things you're really pleased by?
- Anything you don't yet find as "good" as on your previous gear?
Ok, that is both interesting and useful.
I note that the site still tells people to return items that need repair under warranty direct to them
(for their affiliated technicians to resolve).
I'm pleased you were able to do this and wish I'd thought to try.
Logic told me that if a vendor was selling well under Nikons price, they'd be unlikely to pick up responsibility for fixing issues.
I guess Nikon has already made their profit when the camera was originally sold by them.
By that logic, they might warranty second hand nikon gear that passed to a new user within the warranty period?
Does anyone know if they actually do this?
