When Nikon announced its first full-frame mirrorless cameras back in 2018, their DSLR users were very happy to know that they could continue to use their F-mount lenses on the Z cameras. This, of course, would be achieved through the use of their proprietary FTZ adapter, which allowed such lenses to be mounted onto the Z line of mirrorless bodies.
The first preference almost always seems to be Sony Alpha camera users, but Tamron doesn't forget Nikon fans, either. Their versatile 50-400mm F4. 5-6. 3 lens, which has been available for E-mount cameras for nearly two years, is finally coming to the Nikon Z mount as well.
There aren't too many modern lenses these days that make you enjoy the process of photography. This is why many new manufacturers are giving younger camera owners the vintage experience by releasing beautiful manual focus lenses.
Macro photography opens up a whole new world of perspectives. I remember my first venture into this genre. I had to purchase a screw-on thread for my Nikon D300 to be able to reverse mount my Nikkor 50mm f1.
How I wish we had such relatively light telephoto lenses when I began my career in sports photography back in 2008. Back then inbuilt teleconverters were an unheard-of concept. Nikon wasn't the pioneer in this field, but they've certainly stepped up and released 3 such lenses within the last 5 years.
Nikon has had at least a couple of all-in-one lenses for their DSLRs. These have their shortcomings, but often prove appealing to amateurs, thanks to their large focal range capabilities. So far, only one of these lenses exists in the Nikon Z mirrorless lineup.
It's almost impossible to accidentally make a soft image with the new Nikon Z 135mm f1. 8 S Plena lens. This just might be the sharpest lens ever produced by Nikon. Train this lens on a professional model, and you just could be coming back with some of the best portraits you've ever taken.
