Very happy with the new Zf which arrived yesterday.  It's now very easy to operate the pretty difficult Voigtländer APO Lanthar 90/3.5

Welcome to the Zf club, John. How does it help with that particular Voigtländer?

Enjoy Halloween, everyone. We did some magic to look after you.

Thanks Luc and Ian

The extra functions with focus peaking, subject selection and focus zoom. That will help to work 1) faster and 2) more accurate and sharp results as the focus range is  swallow (despite the f/3.5) with this lens.   This also apllies for the Voigtländer 180/4

John ( should have gotten a Z 6_3 ;D and the Voigtländer 90mm f/2.8 seems a better lens than its predecessor),
Never mind do enjoy the Zf!

Thanks Fons.  I am not a fan of the Z 6....    I am happy with the 90/3.5   You  not?

Likewise. I never warmed to the Z6. The Z7 at least had a 45MPix count to dampen its awkward ugliness.

As to the 90/3.5, it is a nice little lens and quite useful in combination with the dedicated close-up lens. Not 'macro', but one can acquire excellent close-ups. There is also an elusive rangefinder version, specified as 85mm f/3.5, that is marked APO as well and is even smaller since the Nikkor S-Z adapter is thinner than the FTZ.
