Hi guys! I’m just a newbie in a way, that some years ago inherited a Nikon DX D7100 with a rather good Nikkor zoom 18-200mm VR (I understand it’s the first one, as they might have re-released it at later stages). I played with it for quite a while and took some really good pictures, but at this point it’s rather cumbersome to pack in the luggage, together with the drone as well. I’m considering a smaller mirrorless camera perhaps, so I can have something easier to carry around during a hike/tour/scooter ride. However, I would like to keep the portability with the zoom to some degree, as I really love how easily it made to frame subjects and get really good pics. Would you guys have recommendations for cameras (Nikon or not-Nikon), that can fit a Nikon lens with/without some adapter? Just in case this is a DX lens, not full frame, AFAIK (but I wouldn’t mind some…vignetting, or digitally/automatically cropping the picture after the fact, if needed).
I got a Nikon z30 last week used on marketplace, it came with 2 Nikon F lenses, the kit z lens and the FTZ ii (F To Z) adapter and our previous Nikon F lens still work (exif data is present and correct and AF works for some of the F lenses, but not all of them though). The FTZ I think is quite large, it will make your lens stick out an extra 3-4cm.
Thanks for this. This is the kind of input I wanted…I’m a bit concerned about the extra bulk the add-on might make, but I guess there’s no two ways around it.
