This is More Than a Test
October 3rd, 2023
When I got my new Nikon Z7ii the camera body arrived before the lens I had ordered for it. But I did get an adapter so I could use my old F-mount lenses with the new camera, so, of course, I had to do some testing.
I got together with wonderful model and muse, Eden, to start learning the new camera. The only lens I owned that would properly “talk” to the camera with the adapter was my old 18-200 crop-sensor lens. Not the sharpest lens out there, but everything worked automatically, so I used it for most of the shots.
And I did use another old lens…my 50-year-old soft-focus lens. It’s my favorite soft-focus lens, but I hadn’t used it much for many years because its 100mm focal length made it somewhat less useful on crop-sensor cameras. But the new camera is “full-frame” so I was happy to find that the old lens worked well on the new camera.
Not too shabby for a camera test shoot…
