ZF.2 35/1.4Z6 is so great fo MF lenses and pairs nicely with Zeiss classic lenses. I';m considering buying a MILC for my ZE lenses specifically. I can't decide which to prefer keeping in mind there are EF electronic aperture control (and autofocus) converters to Sony E and Nikon Z mounts. Time will tell - I'm holding off till April.
Yes. Definitely one strong draw of Z is that you can adapt any lens. I would love to get old contax zeiss 85/1.4 and finally, reacquire 50/1.4 planar again down the road. Also curious are old OM, Minolta lenses, as well as modern Voigtlander and Zeiss rangefinder lenses. Something Nikon shooter was deprived of for long time.

I was pretty much set to get D750 to replace D700. When I thought about my MF lenses. I came up with my poor, expensive justification to get a Z6. These shots do not justify that, but I do like he weight of Z6 + ZF.3 35/1.4 is pretty reasonable. This lens is impossible to focus with D700. D810 was better. D850 would have been great, but Z6 does pretty good and forgiving lower MPs. Shooting JPGs is no fun, so I need to think about conversion. Probably start with Adobe converter to dng. Does anyone know if you lose anything by converting to DNG beside time and storage space ?Luka

Adobe DNG Converter. Shoot Raw, run chosen raw files through this, then you can edit the DNG's in LR or PS standalones. Extra step but cheaper
And no, you don't lose anything.

will try neutral.
Thank you Laura
As I will not go to the subscription version of LR, that seem to be the only solution until I choose next RAW converter. Now my question is whether to keep NEF files, or ditch them.

Got a new toy. Originally was looking to replace D700. I gave up the idea. D700 stays. I accept this is just curiosity won over rational. It would have been D750 otherwise, but I got Z6. Hope to like it. It will be a while till I figure out RAW conversion as I use standalone version of LR. Shot JPG. Standard jpg is a bit cooked will try neutral.Thank you Laura

D850 and 70-200EThank you very much !!
Charles,
Thank you ! As I do not have L plate, and lost my generic Arca plate, they were all hand held. Something that was not possible with D810. Of course, 24MP is forgiving, so taking advantage of that as well.
I may like this camera.
