Even though I have been away from Nikon for almost 5 years I still have many Nikkor lenses, including the 10 MF lenses shown below. All are the AIS version and 52mm filter threads. I had been using my D700 with these lenses and had the non-CPU data programed into the camera for each. All the lenses are in great shape and I spent quite a bit of time getting good copies of each.
So now I am looking for a mirrorless Nikon body to shoot with these lenses. Have not been keeping up with what is available from Nikon and would like some suggestions as to what bodies to look at, and the best adapter for mounting them. Would prefer at least 24mp, a mirrorless body that works well with MF lenses and allows for registering the non-CPU data. Appreciate your thoughts!
Welcome to the thread. Beautiful collection you have. Are you dead set on a Nikon body?
Thanks Leighton!
Was a long time Nikon shooter who went to Sony in 2018. Still have the Nikkor MF and a couple of nice AF-S lenses so I thought the Nikon mirrorless made the most sense. Sure I could put a dumb adapter on a Sony body but I wanted non-CPU data in camera if possible.
Edit: After spending half a day looking into Nikon bodies let me rephrase my questions in the OP.
The Z5 seems to be what I was looking for, it has a good EVF at 3.69 million dots, dual card slots, 1/8000 shutter speed, a robust full mag body with weather sealing and a standard tilting screen. Plus it has great Nikon ergonomics with 3 user control slots. The body with FTZ II adapter is $1,247 brand new. The only things I can't seem to find is if it has non-CPU lens slots and does it offer any instant magnification when focusing manual lenses?
