Some random shots. Picket up Z30 kit recently mainly for video as it does not have the 30 min recording limit. It also is a pretty decent camera. I find the ergonomics of flip type LCD is not so great for still shooting, but I really like the small size, light weight, and the decent kit lenses (16-50 and 50-250). When I don't feel like taking Z6, I can just throw in this tiny camera. These were shot in JPG so PP is a bit limited. Bad news for me is C1 22 does not support the Z30's NEF, so, I need to use DXO PL6 for D30 NEFs.

I also own a Carl Zeiss Jena 58mm f/2 Biotar, an heirloom from my father's M42 days.
Mine is the earlier Pre-Set Version (1950 -1954) with black stripes on the aperture ring and twelve blades, marked with Q1 for "superior quality”, reserved for export.
I really need to adapt it again.

You definitely should, the Super-Takumar is also worth adapting.
Especially since the operation of many old, high-quality manual focus lenses is often a real pleasure.
Just a quick test shot wide open.
"An heirloom photographed with an heirloom."
This is one of the great advantages of MILC.
I can use all my old lenses again, some of them useless for years away from analog photography.
Even one of the two lenses of my Rollei 35 Twin slide projector, a Rollei V/S Heidosmat MC 90mm f/2.4 can be adapted using a M52 - M42 Helicoid.
