Flange Back focus for Z7U on other lenses
It seems that the flange focus on the Z7 only works while my carl zeiss lens is connected. Once I disconnect that lens and use a 1/3" to 2/3" adapter with a fujinon 2/3" lens, then the flange focus menu option is greyed out. I also would like to set flange focus for some of the nikon lenses I am using, which I have adapters for to fit onto the Z7.. Is this possible? The manual seems to say that flange focus only works with a carl zeiss lens? Is this correct?

I am looking at this camera, for use with my Nikon lenses. I don't know the answer to your question, but I am curious if your able to focus to infinity using the Nikons with your adapter. I understand it may focus through it, but will it at least get to infinity. |
You would use the backfocus adjustment on any 2/3" lens attached to the adapter.
I doubt there is any backfocus solution for Nikon lenses on the Nikon adapter. However I would assume that the long focal lengths used would make it easy to front focus any shot by eye.... just don't zoom within the shot. |

For (mechanical) lenses that cannot be corrected by the camera, the FB Adjust is unavailable. You need to mechanically adjust backfocus, just like on other pro lenses/camera's. For SLR-type lenses there usually is no way to adjust the backfocus unless the adapter provides this functionality. George/ P.S. For the Z7 see page 10 of the manual (bottom right): it can only read lens files from compatible lenses and store up to 10 profiles. |
