On all Z bodies, if the lens is chipped as said, you must set the aperture to fully closed down on the lens and then control via camera body controls. This honestly kills the experience for me, personally, for adapting chipped lenses.
I agree, therefor I even prefer using the Zeiss ZF. lenses over the ZF.2 lenses. There I can still use the apperture on the lens.
And since ZF.2 isn't adding functionality despite beeing chiped, exept for correct EXIF, they are both not ideal on the Z bodies.
All I can say applies to the Z7, but seems to be the same with ZF body. I would be willing to get one, if that would improve the usability of my Nikon Zeiss lenses, but so far, this seems not to be the case.

I have a new Voigtländer 15/4.5 for Z, where you can set the aperture on the lens and get full exif just like a native Z lens.
