Tokyo CP+ show. ZF color profiles

[Snoogly]

So, rumors have it that after the show there will a ZF firmware update to bring the cloud thingie, and color profiles, to the ZF. I actually did the online registration to attend the show, and get a hands-on with a beta of the firmware, but I can’t motivate myself to go :-(

On another note, Monster screwdriver Nikon F to Z adapter!!? :-0

[John Geerts]

"On the occasion of CP+, MonsterAdapter is pleased to announce the release of a new product, the LA-FZ1, an electronic mount adapter for Nikon F-mount lenses to Nikon Z-mount cameras with built-in focus and aperture motors."

"For the first time  built-in focus motor is set for Z-mount adapters, which is capable of driving the AF-series lenses (most of these are also known as the D-series) that since 1986. This allows Nikon’s classic autofocus lenses to realize functions including autofocus and auto-exposure on modern mirrorless cameras."

I let all my D lenses go a while back

Just got back from CP+.  This is a prototype, but interesting.  The silver ring adjusts the spherical aberration just like DC Nikkors 135 and 105.

The Sony LA-FE2 AF Adapter (Nikon-F to Sony-E) version of this adapter seems to have had a fair reception from this reviewer for the later models of the Nikon D lenses in the instance of stills photography on Sony bodies:
