Oh these are stunning photographs, and I really appreciate the history that you so beautifully presented between the photographs. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I myself also love the 50mm lens, and that will be the first lens I will buy if I need to switch to mirrorless - a "problem" I see you also have. Tough decisions if we need to move over to mirrorless (as lenses are so expensive). In any case, happy photographing!
Thank you! 😎🥂
to switch to mirrorless
I recently researched the topic. My last idea is: if crypto will make me a bit richer :D, I will buy a good mirrorless camera to have a focus system and a censor of the very last generation. And I will see what lens to buy for it. In case of Nikon at least, you only need a small and inexpensive adapter to use DSLR lenses on mirrorless Nikons. This adapter has no glasses in it so it doesn't affect the quality of the image... So if I see some DSLR top models are cheaper than last mirrorless lenses, I will buy them + adapter.
I am so sorry for only responding now. Got a virus over the weekend and could not do much! Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply. That is good news, as I have some old lenses (which I found on a film camera) that are still working perfectly on my Nikon D300, and the quality of the images is way better than my newer lenses. Would not want to lose these lenses. Maybe the adapter will work on them! Keep well and let us hope for your dream to come true.
No problem! Get well soon if not yet.
From Amazon Nikon Store: "FTZ II adapter seamlessly adapts the F-Mount to the larger Z-Mount, retaining the image quality, autofocus performance, weather sealing and comfortable handling of any mounted lens. Full AF/AE supported when using FX or DX AF-S Type G/D/E, AF-P type G/E, AF-I type D lenses and AF-S/AF-I Teleconverters."
Thank you so much! I wonder if they will work on the very old lenses. I might as well go down to the camera shop and ask them to fit one on a demo model and see if it works. Change is the only constant and we need to learn to adapt to these new technologies right!
