That's interesting, Andy. Do you mind telling us which lenses you have tried and which you like the most?

Here’s a list of older lenses I’ve tried on the Z6:
Fifties:
Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 (after all these years, still my favorite macro lens for its sharpness and flat field)
Helios 44-2 58mm f/2 (wonderful bokeh)
Takumar 50mm f/1.4 (wonderful bokeh in a different way)
Jupiter-8 50mm f/2 (not much experience with this one yet)
Portrait lenses:
Helios F-92 90mm f/2 (tricky to adapt, but wonderfully soft backgrounds and a nice warm glow to skintones
Meyer-Optik Orestor Gorlitz 100mm f/2.8 (surprisingly sharp)
Wide angle:
AI-Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 (meh)
W-Nikkor 35mm f/2.5 (fiddly aperture, but very enjoyable)
Thanks for posting that. I don't have any of those lenses except a Nikon 24/2.8 AI-S (meh). I do have a micro-Nikkor 55/3.5 which is also one of my favorites.
A few from the mud pit and other obstacles of a 5k run. I also used the D500, which took the bulk of the fast action, telephoto shots.

Finally got out and took some pictures today. I had a total knee replacement at the end of May and have not been getting around very well. Now that I am doing better I plan on getting out a lot more.

Nice shot to register your recovery with, Bill.
That's a beauty, Bill. Glad to hear you are out and about again.
Yikes!! Those knee replacements are tough. My husband had two of them, so I have witnessed the recovery first hand. Nice shot to celebrate your return to mobility. Hope it just keeps getting better and better!!
Gorgeous. The sharpness and colors are perfect. She is beautiful!!
Using the 70-300 AF-P f4/5-5.6 at my granddaughter's softball game yesterday. That is her brother playing with the stick. I love this camera/lens combination. Small and relatively light for a longer zoom.
Yes, her hair is crazy....especially after taking off catcher's gear and a batting helmet.
Luckily she made it on base with this not so great hit!!

Some recent shots just playing and learning a little. The first three are with a single Neewer LED ring light, the last one is with dual Yongnuo LED strip lights.

Those first two images are great. I love the focus fall-off, it looks like my 58/1.4 G!
How do you like the 50/1.8 S? I'm been thinking of picking one up next time they go on sale just so that I can have a native prime lens.
Loved seeing this. The colors have changed quite a bit since last Saturday!! Hopefully we can make it there this weekend.
