It doesn?t fit on most later Nikon digital camera bodies. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada+2020/DSCA6236.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada+2020/DSCA6236.jpg.html> and the lens drew quite a nice (if slightly soft) photo of Vancouver Island and the Swanson Channel on the Z7 sensor. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada+2020/DSC_4419.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada+2020/DSC_4419.jpg.html> Years ago when Leica deserted R cameras I re-bayoneted my Leica APO 100mm with a Leotax Nikon mount and it fits snugly on the Z7 adapter: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada+2020/DSCA6237.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada+2020/DSCA6237.jpg.html> The lens produces a wider view of Vancouver Island and the Swanson Channel. Razor sharp too. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada+2020/DSC_4421.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada+2020/DSC_4421.jpg.html> I am going to have some fun getting to know this camera. A cheap Leica M to Nikon Z adapter is on its way to me. Can be viewed large if you like. C&C always welcome. Howard.
