What is the best Leica lens to adapt to the Nikon Z system? I'm lookin get into Leica but first want to adapt a lens. What's my best option? And will any retain autofocus? Looking for 50mm or a standard zoom.

Are there any options for hoods for the Nikon 400mm f2.8 VR besides the original two-piece HK-33-1 & HK-33-2? Do I really need the second hood? I see one on Ebay for almost $400. Not trying to spend that kind of money on a hood.

As both a Nikon and GFX shooter, I've found a few lenses in my collection that fully cover the GFX sensor. My favorite is probably the Nikkor 58mm f1.2. There is barely any noticeable vignette, and 1.2 on the GFX simply obliterates backgrounds. I also shoot many CONTAX Zeiss lenses and have found th...

Doesn't seem like enough of a reason to upgrade unless you don't already have the 100s. Then the 100s II may be worth the additional costs, although difficult to find used. Personally, I'll be moving from the 100s to a used 100 ii. That's a more noticeable jump in features and performance.

Thanks for the info. Looks straightforward enough. I still can't muster the courage to open it up. I might try the naptha trick. The focus barely sticks, just being hyper critical.

Too much glass in modern cameras lenses.

This lens is as sharp as any lens I've ever tested. It's up there with Zeiss Otus for sharpness. Hard to believe you can get glass like this for around $500. My only complaint would be the crappy hood it comes with.

I've been using the Laowa 90mm f2.8 macro for a few months and am very impressed. Not only does it give 2:1 macro capability, but it's also a great lens for portraits.
