What the Nerds Do / Re: Using Neweer NW-ETZ to get focus confirmation and correct IBIS
« Last post by Hugh_3170 on May 05, 2026, 05:32:42 »Yes, this is also what is confusing me.
Hopefully once these adapters start getting delivered, we can then figure out just how one sets the desired taking aperture and get it to be correctly recorded in the EXIF data and achieve the correct exposure. I do dream somewhat ....

It confuses me because aperture would be set on the lens, with a Z camera just metering based on what it sees.
Could this be only be applicable if one also sets the aperture on the camera for accurate shooting aperture in exif?

Will someone correct me if I'm wrong: I believe this instruction applies to AI and earlier Nikkor lenses while not applying to AIS and later Nikkor lenses. I should know. Perchance the AIS Nikkors had linear apertures for the Nikon FA's exposure system?

« Last post by Birna Rørslett on May 05, 2026, 00:26:05 »A lot of the candidate lenses for this adapter have non-linear apertures ....
I've ordered one for potential use with 1-2 non-CPU enabled F-mount lenses. Should arrive later this months if international transportation still functions.

« Last post by MEPER on May 04, 2026, 21:43:43 »Yes, I am surprised how good the wide-open performance of the lens is.
When I got the Plena I went to an old factory building close to where I live to take some pictures but I forgot the narrow angle of a 135 mm lens so it was a bit of a challenge.
The building was first a Piano factory (Søren Jensen) and later factory for the Penol brand pens (Christian Olsen).
Building here at 2nd page (how it looked many years back):

Here how it looks today through the Plena.
