Presumably all that's involved is temporarily assigning the function of selecting the aperture value to save in the exit to the appropriate spare dial (front or rear).
After spending yet another weekend carrying the Z5ii through woods and trying to get shots of elusive targets, I'm not sure a dial for saving the aperture would be particularly useful. In fact it could be misleading, like swapping a 200mm with a 55mm and forgetting to dial in the lens selection.
At least with all my lenses through the FTZ, I could never take the time to set it. I'm always going full aperture for focus, stopping down, then shooting, and hoping the target hasn't moved during the past two seconds. Even with, or especially with, the 300mm f/4.5 AI-S I need to be quick. A nice Z-mount AF zoom would solve that problem but then, it wouldn't need a dial to save aperture.
Today's pics, only the first one moving especially fast. 300mm f/4.5 AI-S
We believe this is a Hairy Woodpecker, similar to the Downy, usually slightly larger and with a larger bill compared to the head size.

Dad. (Yeah, I know enough with the heron shots, okay? But they are such magnificent birds. Especially in flight, slow, graceful, deliberate wing beats.)

We watched him fly back to this nest. I named this pic Heron and Chick but my sweetie (in the next pic) thinks it is Dad and Mom, that a chick would have its mouth open wanting to be fed.

My sweetie. I think she's right about the herons. 105mm f/2.5 K

Meant to say this before, I think it's really cool to a=have ready access to a heron rookery.

Keep the exotica coming Andy. Ferraris should naturally be all red.

PS love the heron, I remember them from the UK, don't have them here or Australia.
Thanks.
I remember all the take-a-notebook chatter from years ago, no, make that decades ago. Ain't gonna' happen! I'd forget most of the time, or wouldn't have the time most of the time. And I'm only 19 years ahead of you, so the "Old people" rule doesn't apply to me either.
Nice Ferrari pics!
James Markus, great film pics! The woodpecker shot tells me to put my camera down, walk away, and nobody gets hurt. But I ain't gonna' do it any more than I'm gonna' take a notebook out into the woods.
Yeah, I never got the ""carry a journal", I'm already thinking enough about stuff much less carrying a journal in everyday shooting. I did make notes when I was specifically testing a lens or concept that involved aperture or shutter speeds, but that was not too often. Digital has spoilt me, and then Nikon went backwards with the FTZs.
