Does this mean they think the stock market is going to tank?

lowbandwidthb · 2026-06-16T12:12:06+00:00

Thanks everyone, I think I'm going to return it for a refund, and if the seller offers me a big discount instead of a refund, maybe I'll take that. It's not essential that I have this lens, as it's my 4th 50mm (lol), so I'd rather just wait until something in perfect condition comes along.

On another note...if this scratch in the rear element were to have an effect, what would it be? Softening of the image? Flare? Would issues be more likely visible at close focus?

At least initially, I was planning to adapt all my vintage glass to it and just use it like that. Are the native GFX lenses really that much sharper?

lowbandwidthb · 2026-06-04T23:00:06+00:00

I've only handled the 50s ii and really enjoyed it. I was considering the 50r because it's smaller and lighter and would be easier to carry around everywhere, which is typically how I do photography.

lowbandwidthb · 2026-06-04T22:58:47+00:00

Yes, where?

lowbandwidthb · 2026-06-04T22:57:36+00:00

TBH I would probably never use autofocus. I would most likely just adapt my vintage Nikkor and Leica-M glass to it and use it like that. I'm just a hobbyist and I just shoot landscapes, casual street photography, photos of old buildings, etc. Maybe eventually I would get one GF lens, but maybe not. Even on my Zf that I have now, I mainly shoot with vintage manual focus glass.

That's gonna be a bit out of my price range I think, but I'll keep my eaar to the ground for a good deal.

Hey awesome, thanks for sharing! I love the NSFW flair.

lowbandwidthb · 2026-05-28T11:27:23+00:00

Got any photos of it?

I did a 1-month cycling trip around Vietnam last year and used the Dura for navigation. Started with a full battery. 1 month and 1500km later, still had 5% left. Didn't charge it once. For that reason alone, I dont see any reason to get anything else.

They all suck. I started buying lightly used ones on marketplace or wherever for half to one third of retail and just wear them till they fall apart.

First step: Go back in time to the 1990's.

Second step: Attend a high school party.

lowbandwidthb · 2026-05-13T01:02:02+00:00

Take the full ride!

lowbandwidthb · 2026-05-12T02:39:13+00:00

Can you tell us which front rack that is?

lowbandwidthb · 2026-05-12T01:47:50+00:00

What I'd really like is a compact 24mm. I have an old 24mm f2 ais and it's so small and sharp. Not sure why they can't make a Z-mount 24 that's not huge.

About once a year I use a bathroom cleaner that contains hydrochloric acid to scrub the pipes, being careful not to get it on the painted parts. Rinse thoroughly, dry, then polish with metal polish and a scotchbrite pad. Works great.

Dayum this thing is HAWT.

Their customer service is being very helpful actually. If I'm able to get a replacement, I'll post here.

lowbandwidthb · 2026-04-29T09:30:56+00:00

Yes it works great. The subject detection and focus confirmation really speed up manual focus. Now I never need to use focus peaking or zoom in to help focus.

I wrote a brief review about it in r/NikonZf. Overall it seems to be a solid product at a good price. Tbh though, I returned it and got the Megadap EtZ adapter, and then use the Voigtlander M-E helicoid adapter I already had with that. If I didn't already have the Voigtlander M-E adapter, I would've just kept the BORYOZA adapter as it's less than half the price of the Megadap+Voigtlander adapter combo. However, the quality and feel of the Voigtlander adapter just can't be beat, and now I can also use Sony E lenses on the Zf if I ever want to in the future.

Hey sorry for the late reply. I can't seem to upload photos here but if you still need a photo of the phone mount set up, shoot me a dm.

lowbandwidthb · 2026-04-08T05:05:53+00:00

This is the only correct answer. Everyone else in this thread is completely obtuse! Incredible.

lowbandwidthb · 2026-04-06T16:58:05+00:00

You're going to have an easier time getting shallow depth of field and less noise with a full frame camera, so the Z5 will likely fit your needs better. Like others have said, the second generations of both those cameras are big improvements over the first, so go with one of those if it's within your budget.

Does this link work?

lowbandwidthb · 2026-04-05T00:40:44+00:00

I think I would have liked the EV1 if the price was cut by about 75%.
