    • ZR ctl or Paralax Monitor is great. Interface is good and allows to change practically any major video related setting. For somebody like me who is not familiar with Nikon menus it is a great help. Connectivity with the camera is breeze too. Just plug the USB cable. It solves also another problem which Z6 III has - lack of LUT support. It is important for me as I use LUTs to set exposure. Using a LUT is by far the best and easiest way to set exposure for video and also save lots of time in post. Kudos to the creator. Megadap ETZ21 Pro+ is the first adapter that I know which allows you to stack electronically two adapters ! Any A-Mount Lens + LA-EA5 + Megadap ETZ21 Pro+ can autofocus on Nikon Z bodies. Same with Canon EF lenses and Metabone adapter + Megadap ETZ21 Pro+. Almost any Sony or third party lens for Sony E mount works (can autofocus) with Megadap ETZ21 Pro+ on Nikon Z bodies.  Practically I can use all the lenses that I use on Sony. Of course there will be some penalty with continuous autofocus but I rarely use it anyway.  Nikon Z mount cameras have some quirks too. For example they lack the third wheel that most mirrorless camera have. You need to push and hold a button and keep it pushed while changing ISO. Assuming that for video we lock the shutter at 2x frame rate, 2 wheels will do the job. Nikon however don't give the option to assign ISO on some of the wheels. You can only switch them - one for shutter and one for aperture and vice versa.  I bought Nikon Z6 III instead of Zr. Z6 III has full size HDMI and great EVF plus a physical shutter for photos. Flip out screen being small or big is not that useful for me. A monitor or smartphone that serves as a monitor and sits on top of the camera and slightly in front is much better. Price second had is now around 1600/1500 E mark. Low enough to get it and scratch this internal RAW view itch 🙂       
    • Not sure I’m experimenting with it but that’s certainly where I end up…
    • I'm curious to know how that turns out. That kind of magnification requires near-perfect conditions for decent results.
    • Thanks for your comments. I'm looking forward to mounting the ils to a fd 500mm mirror lens which will sit on a sky watcher mount for moon shots. i could add in a 2x teleconverter but i prefer a 1.4 converter. They just seem to have an edge to me. Which is something i don't have at the moment.  Isn't it ironic, how companies decide on how to implement features. Some critical thinkers might go with the word crippled but i like to be more polite usually.
