Not yet. Just tried the 6 T.  With good results I must say.  Did you use this lens for macro purposes?

Occasionally, yes. Still a good performer although some colour aberrations and field curvature start to impact the outcome.

This new APO Lanthar from Voightlander is another 50mm Z mount option - albeit manual focus:

Thanks for the link  Hugh.    Perhaps not in the correct topic?

Good news   "The lens is chipped for providing communication between the lens and camera body on compatible Z-mount cameras. In addition to enabling EXIF data, this also enables proper in-body image stabilization on compatible cameras, as well as support for the various focusing assist functions. This is all possible due to a licensing agreement Cosina has struck with Nikon that allowed it to develop and manufacture this unit."
