Anyone shooting Simera 28mm on Z6 or Z7?
With non-CPU lenses/dumb adapters, my Z6 does not display any lens information, and this should also apply to all other Z Gen1 bodies (Z5, Z6, Z7).
While it is possible to set the focal length and maximum aperture under non CPU settings, thus enabling 3-axis IBIS for non CPU lenses (provided the appropriate setting/non CPU number is selected for the attached lens), the option to enter the lens name, as found on newer camera bodies, is missing.
This is what NXStudio shows me on my Z6 when using a non-CPU lens, in this case the Thypoch 28/1.4 Z.
This is what it looks like with the Z8, also with the Thypoch 28/1.4 Z.
With Expeed7 bodies, there's an additional option to enter the lens name under non-CPU settings.
This name is then saved and recognized and displayed by programs like NXStudio, DXO, or LRC/PS.
However, the set aperture (working aperture) isn't displayed here either, which makes sense since there's no communication between the camera and the non-CPU lens.
The camera therefore does not know which aperture I have set on the lens for the photo, only what was entered under non CPU Settings.
What is displayed is the aperture assigned to the lens in the non-CPU settings, so always f/1.4 for the Simera 28mm, not the working aperture.
This is what it looks like for example, in the DPR forum.
Here's a shot with the Z6 and a Canon FD 85mm f/1.2 L lens.
This is how it looks with the Z8, in this case with the Simera 28mm f/1.4 lens:
