Did anyone used Shoten M-Z adapter, is it mechanically any good? I have the Shoten adapter, mechanically it's very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got Novoflex already, it was easy choice, I only wish they sell them with front and rear cap instead being presented in plastic box. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photon42 Posted April 7, 2019 Share #124 Posted April 7, 2019 The Novoflex adapter is less than a new battery for the M10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 2 batteries for Z are about 1 battery for M/SL, for less money Nikon manages to provide batteries with plastic cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minda Posted December 16, 2019 Share #127 Posted December 16, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use Voigtlander 21 1.8 with fantastic results. Sharp corner to corner. Vinieting is less than native Nikon 24-70 2,8 s lens at 24. Welcome, dear visitor!

stickan1 Posted December 23, 2019 Share #128 Posted December 23, 2019 I got a Z7 a couple of days ago and also a Novoflex adapter. I started to test my M-lenses today and can't see the lens data in the EXIF file. I have input these values into the camera for non-CPU lenses. Data show in the camera and the stabilisation work fine, but in the EXIF there is 0.0 0.0 for length and aperture. I use Lightroom classic 9.0. I apply the lens profiles in LR and it handles the vignetting fine but for my widest lens a Voigtlander vm 15/4.5 II there is quite a lot of corner smearing. The Zeiss Biogon 21/2.8 is better as shown here: Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! The Leica 135/4 is perfect and I will continue testing but would like to be able to store the lens data in the EXIF. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Any ideas on how to fix it? Unfortunately the Z cameras only write the Non-CPU data in EXIF if you are using the FTZ adapter with F mount lenses. One of the very frustrating features of that camera. To get the proper EXIF information I use the LensTagger plugin to Lightroom and manually input that information on keeper images. Which means you have to keep notes while shooting.

stickan1 Posted December 23, 2019 Share #131 Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Ok, I have checked the EXIF and XMP data with a tool called Abc EXIF Viewer, very useful. There is no lens info in the EXIF. But as I manually input the lens profile I can see that among the XMP data and use it to sort my images but I guess I will have to use the Lens Tagger to get an easy way to organise my images. Stupid that Nikon don't write this info into the EXIF as it is in the camera. Let's hope it gets fixed in a coming firmware!

250swb Posted December 27, 2019 Share #134 Posted December 27, 2019 Is it really any sort of problem that the lens data doesn't show up in the EXIF file? I suppose if the purpose of the photograph is a technical exercise to demonstrate the effects of shutter speed and aperture, and these were the actual talking points, then you could go 'old school' and use a pencil and paper to record aperture. Otherwise just look at the trees, or the sunset, or the dog in the photograph. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickan1 Posted December 28, 2019 Share #135 Posted December 28, 2019 I have continued testing my M-lenses and they all work fine except the 15 mm Voigtlander where there is a difference between my M10 and the Nikon Z7. My Zm 21/2.8 works fine from f4 and is acceptable at f2.8. I have not tried all my lenses, so far I have tested ZM 35/2, Summarit 75/2.5 and Elmarit 135/4, and no problems. My conclusion is that the Z7 can be used for most M-lenses. Focusing is easy and the image stabilisation works fine, I made a landscape free hand at 0.5 sec with the 21 mm ZM that is really sharp. + for Nikon is weather sealing, better high ISO, image stabilisation and a better view finder and less than half the price compared to Leica. But no rangefinder so nothing for the purist! I do a lot of landscape photography and plan to use Nikons 24-70/4, which is weather sealed + a couple of M-lenses and then I will have a light package of high quality that can be used even in bad weather. The lack of EXIF data can be solved in different ways as noted earlier. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted February 10, 2020 Share #139 Posted February 10, 2020 Serious cyan cast in the second pic with respect. Not sure if it comes from white balance, sensor stack thickness or both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkR440 Posted February 11, 2020 Share #140 Posted February 11, 2020 I think "serious" cyan cast is a bit exaggerated. I took it at about 6pm, the start of the blue hour here. But as you mentioned, if it is to blue for you then you can easily change that in Lightroom by adjusting the white balance or the blue color in general.
