Quick tech question for you guys......I have a couple old manual focus zooms from 30-40 years ago, like Vivitars and Soligors and such, and was thinking of mounting them on my Z6 and see how bad they are now that focus is on sensor. In the CPU listing in the menus, what you set the lenses at for best results. Say its something like a 24-105 f 3.5-5.6 (example only) do you enter the data on the short open end, or long end for best results.
If you are not using in body stabilization it really does not matter which focal length you enter for the lens.
However if you are using in body stabilization you really need to enter the focal length you are shooting since the amount of stabilization applied in camera is based on the focal length entered in the Non-CPU setting.
On my manual focus zooms I either turn off VR or specifically set the Non-CPU setting to the actual focal length or closest focal length being shot.
