Hello, FMers.
Happy to see the thread alive and to find new contributors as well.
I do remember the time it was started almost 1 thousand pages ago and those posts and images of @denoir@, @makten, @samuli vahonen, @philip_pj@ and @gunzorro that made me want to dive into ZE/ZF line and buy a copy of ZE 100MP. And I am amazed what @micke.vmix@ does. Thank you for sharing inspiration among us fellows. And I did a few contributions to the thread as well And I did a few contributions to the thread as well
Now I need an advice about gear considering Zeiss manual lenses and I would like to thank you all who comments on it.
I own 100MP ZE version and want to add 50P. Also I have EF 16-35/4 L IS which I want to use in the future because of beautifully defined starbursts. And I have Canon 6D which I want to replace by a newer camera. The question is what it is the camera. I do travel photography incl. cityscapes so high MP count is a good bonus. I have a few to decide from: Canon R6, Sony a7RM3 and Nikon Z6II.
• I need a camera that is comfortable for acquiring manual focus. Which is the best?
• 50P has a focus shift. Is it possible to have aperture/DOF preview and focus magnification at the same time (for a lens with electronic aperture – ZE version)?
• Canon R cameras have curtains down protecting the sensor from entering dust. Are they so good compared to Sony/Nikon ones? Is it a real advantage or a marketing bait?
• Considering dust issue for MILC Canon EF-R adapters are sealed with rubber gaskets on both sides. Is it a real advantage? Or could I simply add a protecting filter like a Kase Sony Alpha Clip-In Filter (available for Nikon Z cameras as well)?
I have to remove Canon R and Nikon Z5 away from the list as Canon R has some banding issues when lifting shadows and Nikon Z5 has pronounced heat noise at long exposures – two scenarios I use for night cityscaping.
My vote would be for the A7rIII, BTW it's easy to take care of sensor dust with the A7rIII, I would not let that stop you from buying the camera.
Here are a few of what the A7RIII can produce for city/nightscape
