[Leica] Fooling around with the Nikon Z6

[Howard Cummer]

Hi Luggers,

We are in Calgary sitting the grands while both parents work in separate plays and I have taken advantage of the local camera stores free loan of
a Nikon Z6 with the 24 - 70 kit lens plus the Nikon F adapter. Would have taken the Z7 for a spin if one were available.

Here is Olive at lunch today - Z6 kit lens at 70mm, camera detail provided:

Esther and Olive at the Indigo Bookstore, Chinook Centre. Z6 and Leica 28mm Elmarit bayoneted to Nikon Lens and attached via adapter.

Esther and Olive at Red Lobster for lunch. The 24 - 70 kit lens at 70 - sharpest kit lens I have ever handled. Not kind to older faces.

Aubrey getting ready for karate: Z6 and the 24 - 85 Nikkor lens at 85 - not as sharp as the kit lens;

As a Nikon user the Z6 is quite easy to adapt to - but I am pretty sure it is not a replacement for my D500 for bird work.

Any luggers using their Leica M lenses on a Z and happy with the results?
