As for ISO setting, I think you might already know that you can hit ISO button and release it, within a few sec, you can use front wheel to select Auto ISO or not, use back wheel to select your minimal ISO used within AUTO ISO. (So, you are still with AUTOISO, just ISO start from ISOxxx you selected than ISO64) You can also setting which wheel do which based on your like.
For example, if you want freeze movement, you can change your minimal ISO from ISO64 to any other ISO (I used ISO400 most of time even for small aperture landscape shooting for sharpness as it has better DR than any ISO between 200 and 400 with duel gain tech). ...Show more →
Thanks for your explanation and your great examples! I haven't used this feature on location and tried it at the weekend for the first time. A really interesting option, although I found my M-approach more intuitive (for me), which was probably due to more practice with it. I will try to figure out in which situation which approach works best for me.
Thanks for sharing your experience and photos with Contax G. Do you encounter edge color shift with G biogons? And how about the infinity focus? Thanks again.

These are with the new Fotodiox pro mf adapter(CG lenses > NZ).
The 'locking pin/tab' feature is on the side and can be engaged/disengaged without dismounting the adapter.
Key learning personally to smooth operation and avoiding frustration/damage was understanding the CG locking mechanism and not using brute force.
Once accurately mounted, focus experience with the FD is smooth overall, even with the G 90.
Build quality, ease of operation, feel, size, price - all a big win given the other alternatives.
Coming from the MF Nikkor and Leica R world, the focusing experience in general has left me pleasantly surprised; given the negative internet feedback on mf focus adaptability with adapters for the CG system.
I had even opened the FD adapter hoping to factor in potential improvements(grease, tab play, spring strength etc.) but found everything existing to be adequate and mechanism quite simple in operation; best left as-is. ...Show more →
