The 45 AI-P is a chipped lens, so it should work perfectly with the FTZ, as it has electronic contacts, right?
Wrong. Because, yet again, as Nikon refused to put an aperture follower on the FTZ, you cannot use the aperture ring on the lens. You have to set it to min aperture and use a control dial on the camera body to set the aperture.
Voigtlander lenses work that way: you have to use the aperture ring on the lens, which is chipped and therefore transfer the information (focal length, maximum aperture & set aperture) to the Z camera. The aperture can be "mechanically" set in 1/3 stop intervals.
I own Zeiss ZF.2 lenses too that I use with the FTZ. Zeiss lenses aperture and can be set in half-stop increments. I much prefer to set the lens to min aperture and use the control dial on the camera body to set the aperture. This way I can set the aperture in 1/3 stop intervals and store its value in EXIF data.
