Slightly off topic, but this is great news; that means more nice previous generation lenses will be available at even more affordable prices! 

Maybe it is just me, but I have found a pair of primes covering the zoom range is generally lighter to carry and has better performance.  Of course not quite as convenient (or maybe the solution is carry another camera body.)

You and me both
This is one of the reasons I moved to nikon from another manufacturer - a supply of second hand lenses has always been really helpful

So come on fellow NG shooters, please upgrade and put your lenses up for sale here :) !

Not mentioned in the article is the ability to "Save all adjustments." If you have a series of similar images you can save all adjustments from one then apply the adjustments to the series.

I was surprised to read this
I made heavy use of this feature in the previous versions of the software which I think was Capture NX

I've been using current "Studio" version for a while. But didn't realise this feature was still available
(Is it hidden in menus somewhere?)

By the way there is a good article here about NX Studio https://photographylife.com/nikon-nx-studio-is-not-bad

Not mentioned in the article is the ability to "Save all adjustments." If you have a series of similar images you can save all adjustments from one then apply the adjustments to the series. Avoid adjustments like straightening, cropping and color correction points at first, then later add the features and save ALL the settings unique to each NEF in separate *.nka files. The files saved are *.nka files and several can be save for one NEF if desired. These are under your control unlike the *.nksc side car files that are saved by NX Studio as it pleases. Also not mentioned is the ability to export an edited NEF as a 16 bit TIF for further editing in Photoshop or another editor.

Sometimes NX Studio plays dead for long periods while it scans lord knows what? I never close NX Studio (I mean never) and have mostly put that problem behind me. If I can't eject an eternal SSD i select a photo on the internal SSD and then I can eject the external.

My normal work flow is NX Studio to 16 bit TIF and then on to Photoshop.

urgent need for action

If looks could kill….

With an asking price of just $35-40 + very fast global shipping (<1 week), the Shoten NF-NZE adapter is a no-brainer. Exterior finish is nice, and the bayonet-mount fit is 100% -- no play whatsoever.

I'll dedicate one to my Noct-Nikkor and the other to the Canon TS 35/2.8, provided the latter lens has sufficient image quality for my IR work. Test shooting in progress, so far everything looks good although image contrast is on the low side compared to modern optics. Perhaps I'll return to the PC-Nikkor 24mm f/3.5 in the end? The Canon is a neat thing to play with, though.
