lukaszgryglicki Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 My SN is: 274233. I would love to have the new Nikon 19 T&S - but it is too expensive and uses electronic aperture control so I would either have to use it wide open or do tricks like pressing DoF previen on Nikon body and unmount then, and have a fixed apertura at anything, but needing Nikon body to change it every time. (I hate anything after AF-D - starting from AF-S and any AF that has an internal motor, even AF-D is not that good for me, I love Nikons up until AI-s). I would love to see a "proper" "MF" GFX sensors - 54x40mm :D. because I cannot even dream about 6x7 or 6x9 which both are my fav from all time. Link to comment
photoni Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I had the first Nikkor PC 85 with manual aperture control, then I changed it to the PC-E 85 and 45, which work well with D800 reflex cameras etc, with the Z7 and Z5 it does strange things, sometimes at apertures closed, it doesn't keep everything open during focusing. . On YouTube I saw a video of a Nikon F > GFX adapter (around €500) that works well with electronic aperture control, but perhaps it's just a less than real advertisement, others say it doesn't work well. This is why I bought the Z7 three years ago; I did a test GFX50r+120 macro VS D850+105 micro the quality of the files was similar to 99%. Only the 3x4 format was more practical. . I've never had anything from Canon, but I've read that all Canon lenses (and Zeiss with Canon mount) with that type of adapter work perfectly on GFX, even PC . 18 hours ago, lukaszgryglicki said: I would love to see a "proper" "MF" GFX sensors - 54x40mm :D. because I cannot even dream about 6x7 or 6x9 which both are my fav from all time. I dream that Sinar or Phase One makes a 4x5 inch sensor or larger, to revive all my old equipment ... and the last Petzval lenses I bought, made in ~1850 Link to comment

I dream of a 4x5 RGB back with at least 50 Mpx... . Today these 4x5 and 8x10 inch back "Largesense" , but they are still too homemade and expensive. 4x5"... LINK... 6.7 Mpx and $26,000 9x11"... LINK... monochrome 26Mpx... $90,000 monochromatic sees UV and IR well . I recently bought this "LomoGraflok 4×5 Instant Back" LINK the photos have very low quality... not like the Fuji FP100c :((( .
