I've try that, and yes, I.B.I.S. did work. Thanks for that - but frankly, it's not I.B.I.S. that's the key problem as long as the shutter keeps refusing to fire with certain adapters, which is still the case. So, using I.B.I.S. will probably work with the Novoflex adapter - that's nice. But neither will the magnification implementation be any more useful, nor is the problem solved in a simple, intuitive way. On the contrary, as far as the last notion is concerned.
Also, notice that the lens is on the FTZ - that's how Nikon wants things to work, so it probably will, probably at its best. That's not what I was talking about. Nikon prevents me from just using what I want (and what's on the market, no less) by implementing things incompletely and - even for the parts that work - in a very clumsy way. Menu diving to change the focal length for I.B.I.S.? Why not just have I.B.I.S. work in the frist place, with a default setting that's directly adjustable by the user, like on *every* other system that offers it (Olympus, Panasonic - thus,
, Sony)? Those brands and cameras have been around for a long time now, it's not as if there hadn't been anything to look at for Nikon. "Our way has to be different to be our way" is a very narrowminded way of thinking - and it doesn't work, most of the time.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Z6, it's the best modern mirrorless camera I've ever owned and shot with. But it's hampered and unnecessarily held back by Nikon's own decisions. Even *if* I can get it to work, it'll be by coaxing perfectly straightforward functionality out of a menu that doesn't guide me as to what to do. *Not* good.
But it definitely seems that at least part of the blame lies with TechartPro - I'll let them know that. "Smart" adapters should know when to play dumb.
