Currently we're experiencing Arctic colds, with ambient temperatures dropping below -20C. Way too cold for my taste, even with a heat mask.

However, we are greeted with the most beautiful delicate pink sky colours at dawn. Makes for a nice contrast to the deep-frozen snow.

Z7_2   Voigtländer 65mm f/2

I definitively wouldn't bother with any adapter F->Z to employ the "AF" capability of either Micro-Zoom-Nikkor 70-180 AFD or Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4 AFD. This is because their autofocusing performance on the native F systems already was abysmal. Furthermore, since both lenses share the infamous breakage-prone AF-M ring, it's better to tape down the ring to make these lenses manual focus only.

It is also interesting to look at the (IMO) not at all convincing reasons they give for why people who want to use AF-D lenses should buy an adapter to use them on a Z camera, instead of just continuing to use them on the dSLR or the film camera they have always used.

Perhaps the main reason is that a number of F-lenses perform better on a mirrorless camera.  (less disadvantages, sharper, better focussing)

From the Monster website: "The current firmware does NOT include autofocus support for AF-I, AF-S, and AF-P lenses, nor support of EMD electromagnetic aperture and lens VR. Please pay attention to future firmware update notifications, but we do not guarantee that all these features above will be supported."

So this adapter is and may always be an adapter for AF-D lenses only (and manual focus, but for that it has no advantage over the FTZ).
