My dream Z7 has a pair of Neumann KM-184 in DIN mount (90°, 25cm base). Invisible of course.

All this talk of Neumann microphones makes me feel like a piker. 15-20 years ago I bought a pair of Shure KSM32's for recording conversations at home. Because of the prices one pays for really high end microphones (such as Neumanns), I don't want to even hear them because I don't want to know what I'm missing! Audio envy anyone?

the Neumanns need 48V phantom feed they cannot get from the camera

Christian, are you recording engineer?

(Sorry to keep straying!)

Not at all, but have always been passionated by sound engineering.  ;)

That's a real luxury!

Here is the website link that shows how the L-Brackets for both the Z6/Z7 body + FTZ are mounted:

That's a very well designed L plate for the FTZ adapter!

Apparently so. As i already ordered the Markins L-bracket for Z6/7, I might just as well order the FTZ bracket. They seem to be designed to be used together.

A simple question to bolster my understanding. I am mounting an AF f28/D  on the FTZ adapter on a Z6.

* I have to lock the aperture fully stopped down, yes?
* no autofocus, but do get focus peaking

I dug through several long threads, but i think that is my take away?

Thanks,
Rob.

Yes, when using an AF lens with contacts then camera can control the aperture.
You can check.....if you are in A-mode and change aperture and look through front lens you can see the aperture changing when you turn the wheel.
It happens "real-time" and not just during exposure like on a normal F-body.

With my AF 85/1.4 D body sets aperture instant down to 5.6 and the last steps down to 16 it will do like an F-body (stop down during exposure).
But you need to set the aperture stopped down so camera can control the aperture.
If I don't do it a message is shown on the screen that I should lock the aperture to the max. aperture no. (16 in this case).

The 'FEE' error message sometimes pops up even when the aperture of the host lens is set to the minimum. This can occur in particular for well-used lenses which may not completely engage and press down the tab on the FTZ due to wear. The solution is simple, use a small toothpick or similar and push down the sensor tab of the FTZ. Or even better, lock the tab permanently by inserting a tiny screw in the tab slot, then secure with a drop of glue or nail polish. All my FTZ adapters (4 at present) are modified in this manner.

Apart from avoiding the annoying error message, one now has the opportunity to see the depth of field and bokeh at apertures from f/5.6 to the maximum of the lens, for example, f/2 or f/1.2 before pushing the shutter release.

This is all it takes to solve the FEE issue .... a tiny screw, secured by a drop of nail polish.

Oh Birna!  Could a more elegant solution not be found?  ;)

A little epoxy perhaps? Still reversible and with the potential to be made invisible with a little paint?  ;D
