So I hit the + button a couple of times and then return back to full view with the center button on the AF point controller. It's not as fast as I would like but it does work well enough. Ouch yes i see, sounds like i'll stick to my Sony then. Thank you again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I store a User setup just for my Leica lenses, where the back button AF becomes the magnification. One press magnifies, second press returns to normal view. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you do it w/o unsticking the eye from the VF? Just curious. Do it as I described in post #77, assign one of the front FN buttons (I used FN2) for focus magnification, dab for ON then dab again for OFF, no need to take the camera from your eye. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted September 27, 2019 Share #84 Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) I have a Z7 on order. Which Z-M adapters are recommended? Any direct experience opinions will be gratefully received. Edited September 27, 2019 by Ouroboros Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatino Posted September 27, 2019 Share #85 Posted September 27, 2019 Sans aucun doute l'adaptateur Novoflex, surtout si l'usage est plus qu' occasionnel. J'ai d'autres marques, pour mes différents boitiers mais tous présentent des défauts parfois mineurs mais réels. Seul le Novoflex est sans reproches , ce qui fait le prix oublier le prix rapidement.

250swb Posted September 27, 2019 Share #89 Posted September 27, 2019 I have the Novoflex adapter. It's expensive but very well made, I was fortunate to get mine from eBay but I'sure any cheaper adapter would also work since it's only a spacer between the body and lens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but a little Googling revealed a few reports of issues with some adapters that leak light, lead to focusing beyond infinity, don't lock securely in place etc. I'm erring towards the Novoflex despite the absurd price.

Gelatino Posted September 27, 2019 Share #91 Posted September 27, 2019 Here a photo of a K&F concept adaptor for Nikon F lenses to go on M-body (I wanted to test medium/long telephoto on Leica M) Forget it!!! Bought in june 2018, for 22Euro on the bay, used less than 10 times, enough to realize it was not serious. M10 Summicron 90 APO Welcome, dear visitor!

J.Nordvik Posted September 27, 2019 Share #92 Posted September 27, 2019 How does it look at the M-side? I have the same adaptor, but I have only one Nikkor lens. On the M-side I see now that it is showing some serious signs of wear. Never thought about that. I have been using it a lot though (not so many pictures, but I have put it on/off a lot).

On the M -side it's quite OK as once on the body,I used to mount/dismount the lens on/off the adaptor instead of leaving the adaptor on the lens and remove the adaptor, way to preserve the M. BTW: This is clearly about my Nikon lens to M-body adaptor and not about my M-lenses to Nikon Z-body, but I think it is the same problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg1890 Posted September 27, 2019 Share #97 Posted September 27, 2019 I have gone thru 2 adapters for my Z. Got a cheap Fotasy but the m mount lenses never really fit. I have it for several days before returning it. Ordered instead the Fotodiox and that has worked perfectly. You hear the adapter click into place on the camera and the lenses click into place on the adapter. No light leak issues and all works fine.

J.Nordvik Posted September 28, 2019 Share #98 Posted September 28, 2019 I liked those K&F adopters because you could easily put some shims in them. I used aluminum foil to make the lens reach infinity at the hard stop. I find it very hard to focus at 1-3 km away using a EVF. A hard stop infinity is for me very convenient as I take a lot of pictures focused at infinity. Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted September 28, 2019 Share #99 Posted September 28, 2019 I think all adapters will focus beyond infinity. The makers do this deliberately to compensate for tolerances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Nordvik Posted September 28, 2019 Share #100 Posted September 28, 2019 I used a matt black paint to cover the alu foil. Have worked perfectly until I noticed this wear. I can not see any wear on the lens mount of my camera, so maybe it is not a big problem? Welcome, dear visitor!
