I have reprogrammed the movie button to magnify the image for focusing.? It is really convenient and works like a champ.? I am also capable of getting quite close with the focus w/o the zoom in the Z7ii viewfinder.? I never could do that with my D700 or my older Canon as the DSLR viewfinders really sucked for manual focus. I got three adapters for my old glass and have been testing R, Nikon and Pentax glass to see how they perform.? So far all my R glass is doing quite well vs the new Z glass, which is really remarkable.? My 24R is weak in the corners but the rest is quite good.? The 100 APO shines and is unbeatable with the Z glass I have.? Kind of fun but not sure how much I will use them other than the 100 and the 35-70/4.
