Re: Thypoch Simera 28mm 1.4 Z mount - images & discussion
well, I have the Z version of the Simera, so no adapter involved. It has no contacts, but I have set it als nonCPU lens. I have 6 ZF lenses and 3 ZF.2 lenses, I am well aware of the difference. I actually preferthe ZF because I can work the aperture on the lens, I don't get the set aperture in exif, but at least the focal lenght and wides apertuer shows in exif.
The FTZ has contacts, so it is not a dumb adapter - but the Zeiss ZF doesn't. So does the FTZ do some communication through its contacts? Maybe it just says "nonCPU lens here" and that makes the camera actually regard the nonCPU data for the Zeiss ZF I dialed in.
Just to summarize again: the Simera shows up in Exif with Z6II, Z7II, Z8, Z9 and ZF, - but not on Z7 and not on Z6.
What about Z6III and Z5II? Does anyone shoot with one of these bodys and Simera? Does the lens show in the Exif, when dialed in as nonCPU lens?
