A great series of excellent images! and inspiring to follow your experiences with the Z50II.
Thank you Lars
Anthony "'Nature is what it is, and we try to capture it in a skilful way.'" I do agree
Another shot with the same setup: I made some changes to the NEF file with NX Studio first, before Topaz Denoise and the final photo came out very fine unexpectedly
Do you agree ?
By the way there is a good article here about NX Studio https://photographylife.com/nikon-nx-studio-is-not-bad

What the Nerds Do / Re: Using Neweer NW-ETZ to get focus confirmation and correct IBIS
« Last post by Birna Rørslett on May 12, 2026, 15:44:15 »Got the Shoten NF-NZE adapter today. Whisked across the globe super fast. Instructions were all in Japanese, not surprising as I got it from a Japanese web site
It wasn't that difficult to program the adapter though. I set it up for my Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/1.2 AIS as that's one of the few F-mount lenses of mine not having a CPU installed. I did own another Noct (AI) which our miracle lens doctor (Erik Lund) did graft a CPU onto, however that lens got stolen a few years ago.
The adapter is nicely finished, works as it should, and I haven't seen any exposure issues yet. Would be surprising since the lens is AIS, but who knows what the clever makers have put into the adapter logics?

Camera Talk / Re: The Lens Adapter Nikon REFUSED to Build
« Last post by Amanda_Hong on May 12, 2026, 10:52:07 »I still think Nikon missed a good opportunity here. A proper FTZ adapter with screw-drive AF support would’ve kept a lot of classic AF-D lenses alive for Z users. Some of those older lenses may not be technically perfect, but they definitely have character that newer lenses sometimes lack. Even manual focus on Z bodies already feels nicer thanks to focus peaking and EVF magnification, so a reliable AF option would’ve made these lenses even more fun to keep using.
