Hi,
Since my switch from canon to Nikon, my MF activity has been restricted to Ais lenses.
Now, with the Z cams, will we be able to properly use m42, contax, zuiko .. etc, etc , etc ?
Anybody know ?
Paul

If I understand correctly Z mount has the shortest flange distance and the widest diameter of all mirrorless mounts, so you should be able to adapt just about any lens to it.

I understand the attraction of using of Ai-s lenses on the native mount, but I would really wait and see what Nikon does with the metering. |

No reason for the metering to be an issue.
With a mirrorless system you can easily just keep the lens stopped down & use Av.
You might want the lens wide open for focusing but the camera can brighten the EVF image to compensate so it's not as critical as it is with a DSLR. |

+1
The Nikon adapter Nikon to Z is what's wanted, yes?
May be a month before Z AF chips and adapters for other mounts...
