![]() I have been tinkering with FastRawViewer and Photo Mechanic Plus a lot recently as I rethink my workflow after having used LR almost exclusively for years. I understand it is a personal method but would be helpful to know if you benefitted from this software and how easily you integrated in your lightroom work-flow. I really struggle with lightroom to cull RAW images (1:1 takes a lot of time and disk space), and often I lose interest in looking at the pictures. I would like to know your opinion on this work-flow. I downloaded the trial version and so far look okay. I could not find enough material on youtube. Also their planning team.I recently came to know (from dpreview forum) about fastrawviewer for culling RAW images and to emulate the RAW-editor's outcome. Yeah, blame Nikon's marketing for people having to ask this question. "Is the new mount really just a way of selling new lenses? What do the new mount dimensions really mean?" I've never understood the notion of putting a quality-limited lens on a sensor that's state-of-the-art that some have. Personally, I think that's the right move for a high-end system. Nikon has chosen to emphasize image quality at least out through 2020. The Z system is about image quality, not convenience. "Why no 28-200mm or something similar on the lens road map?" ![]() They work as expected on the FTZ adapter. Thus, I expect no differences between the way a lens performs on a D850 natively and on a Z7 via adapter. An adapted lens will be at the same position to the sensor, so the light ways will hit that sensor the same. The Z7, for instance, appears to use pretty much the same technologies and coatings that the D850 uses. "Will the FTZ adapter make F-mount lenses perform worse?" I suspect I'm going to have to do something like I did with some DSLRs and keep a running list of what readers are reporting and what I've found in my testing. ![]() Some seem to work, some don't, but it's impossible to do a real assessment in that environment. I've been getting reports from people attending the dealer product demonstrations that have been going on who brought a third party lens with them. "Does the FTZ adapter work with third party F-mount lenses?" It might be a little tricky to optimize, but I don't see why it couldn't be done. "Is it possible to built a teleconverter into a Z adapter?" If you wanted to use use a Z lens on an F-mount body as a macro lens, I suppose you could create an adapter that acts like an extension tube, but I don't see much demand for that. If you move a lens that far forward of where it was designed, it will lose infinity focus (and probably a lot of distance focus, too). The F-mount is over 46mm from the sensor. The Z lenses were designed to provide infinity focus when sitting 16mm forward of the sensor. "Will we ever see a Z to F mount adapter to use the new Z lenses on DX and FX DSLR cameras?" As I learn more, I keep updating my FTZ adapter article. Obviously, they don't autofocus since they're all manual focus lenses ~). It appears that the answer to this is yes, that you can set exposure with these lenses. "Can I use AI and AI-S lenses on the FTZ adapter?" They weren't designed for silent continuous autofocus use. But AF-I and AF-S may make noises that could be audible. "Do F-mount autofocus lenses work in autofocus via the FTZ adapter when shooting video on the Z6/Z7 bodies?" This page is also now permanently added to the Camera Database section for the Z cameras, and future updates will be done there. I will add to this page as I get new questions where public answers provide a benefit to site readers.
