I am not aware of any mirrorless that will correctly read aperture settings of Nikkor Automatic (aperture) Indexing and Shutter (priority) lens
Fujis will allow focal length and minimum aperture in EXIF. So at least you know what lens you were using. Leica will "guesstimate" aperture and it is pretty accurate too (as long as you are not using filters). Again though, Leica never coupled aperture, but then you are stuck with either live view or EVF for focusing the M 240s and newer. That is unless using the focus coupled LTM Nikkors. The Hassy doesn't aperture couple the adapted lenses. But who cares
So for mirrorless and full function with these manual lenses, I guess we are SOL.
Only digital camera I have really enjoyed having full functionality with these old lenses is the Df (after adding a split image micro prism focusing screen.
EDIT: I forgot... If you shoot the 45p or put a dandelion chip on the lenses, you do get full control and focus confirmation when used with the FTZ adapter

Thanks. The 85/1.4 has been a shelf queen and was actually on the "sell" shelf along with the 105/1.8 and 135/2 because I really didn't use them with the time I had the Z6. Missed the aperture coupling and didn't really like the shooting experience. Glad I am a procrastinator.
Will have to try the 105 and 135 next.

Mucho bokeh using the 85mm f/1.4 Ai-S
Bulbous Buttercups in a field. Native to Europe and considered an introduced weed here in the eastern US. I still think they add beauty to a walking path.

Thanks for bringing out the other. Lovely image, haven't seen your 85/1.4 ais for awhile.
And yes, I have become lazy and I'm writing Ai-S... ais now.
George, while I like the Z6 quite a bit and consider getting a Z7II. The Z6, partiularly with weird adapted lenses, does not satisfy for the simple reason of not registering the aperture with manual lenses, and not even the focal length with non-Nikon adapters.
