Im not shooting with nikon anymore but this video gives me super good ideas for my Sony a7cr. I still have a z7ii and zf but will be selling them to go with he lighter Sony body. I agree with you about the Voigt 58mm f1.4, I adore that lens. but yeah I need lighter and more useful setup. I do backpack as well. Thanks for this video. what I have now is a7cr and 20-70 f4 gm lens. and it is by far the best setup ive found for hiking and covers everything. can focus close as well
Hi! Thank you for the video! I plan to mount the Zeiss ZM50 f1.5 on my Z6. May I know is there any color shifting or image quality problem with the lense on Z6? Thank you!
I can’t say for sure on the Z, but that lens generally works well on digital. Also as a general matter, 35 and over rangefinder lenses should be ok on digital. Hopefully someone can say definitely.
thanks for the insights! I am looking to adapt Voigtänder lenses on my Z6. Can you recommend the adapter you are using? Is it hard to manually focus with the Nikon Z6 @ f1.4?
I agree with arrangearrange because weight seems to be the main issue for you and you shoot landcapes so a light apsc mirrorless Nikon would be way better for your hikes. You may Keep the Z6 and 21mm for other work.
@@18yearsoldnot there are always compromises - image quality versus size/weight versus cost versus lens speed versus ergonomics etc. I have a sigma FP with the grip and a Voigtlander 21mm f4 (with the color shading tool on the FP for color cast), that whole set up with adapter weighs about the same as just the z6, and a lot lot smaller than a z6 21/3.5 rig. Basically as tiny and light as you can get in FF. The CV v1 15mm is even lighter, and that’s my go to wide (again, with the color casting correction).
@@arrangearrange with a manual zoom lens, only one compact aps-c camera has a good enough evf for “zoom focus”. That is the Leica cl. Zoom focus is essential when you use dumb adaptors because the zone focus method is broken.
@@18yearsoldnot “manual zoom”?… The Leica cl is a great option but you’d need a much wider lens to get 21mm and honestly apsc crop of a 15mm or so is different than a full frame 21. A Leica cl also has no corrections for a 15mm lens…. Or does it? Do you have to now buy the much bulkier cv 15mm v3? You just blew the size factor you had going with the 21. The Leica cl is definitely NOT the “only” camera that will let you get proper focus shooting a slow, wide prime. Sony a7c + voigt 21/3.5 probably a much better option than a Leica CL if you actually want to use any 21mm lens at 21.
Thank you for the informative review of M-mount 21mm lenses on Nikon Z. This helps me a lot indeed!
I know it is an old video, but what do you think about the Viltrox 20mm compared to the two of your favorites?
Which version of the Zeiss 21mm f2.8 has issue with digital sensors, the Biogon or Distagon version?
Hey, did you notice any colour shift or smearing of the Zeiss ZM 21mm f/2.8 on Nikon Z?
Nope
Hey, thanks so much for the video. Have you tried the Zeiss ZM 35 1.4 adapted to Z mount?
I haven’t tried that one. Sorry I can’t help there!
Thanks for the Review. In case i plan to make some architecture pics. Which will you prefer, Nikon 14-30 or the Voigtländer 21mm 3.5?

I switched to the Sony as well, last fall. Got an adapter and I use this lens there too, it’s great!
@@MostlyTenkara that’s good to hear!
Thanks for sharing your findings. Since you mention the Zeiss 28mm ZM, does it suffer from edge colour shifts or smearing on the Z body?
Nope, performs wonderfully!
very interesting findings. could you possibly mention the m mount lenses that you adapted until now and have no smearing - colour shifting?
Hi! Thank you for the video! I plan to mount the Zeiss ZM50 f1.5 on my Z6. May I know is there any color shifting or image quality problem with the lense on Z6? Thank you!
I would like to know this also!
I have not noticed any color shift with the 50mm/1.5 and this adapter.
@@MostlyTenkara Thank you so much for your information!
Hi, Do you know if the Zeiss 35mm ZM 2.8 suffer from edge color shifts or smearing on the Z? Thanks A LOT!
I don't have that one, so I can't speak to that. Thanks!
I can’t say for sure on the Z, but that lens generally works well on digital. Also as a general matter, 35 and over rangefinder lenses should be ok on digital. Hopefully someone can say definitely.
great review, What adapter did you use for voigtlander?
thanks for the insights! I am looking to adapt Voigtänder lenses on my Z6. Can you recommend the adapter you are using? Is it hard to manually focus with the Nikon Z6 @ f1.4?
I like this adapter yes. And yes, anything is hard to manual focus at 1.4, ha!
@@MostlyTenkara true! But I mean compared to using the lens on a Leica M System :)
Thank you for this video.
Same with me.
The z6 weighs 675g. Get a lighter camera.
Understand your sentiment but ergonomics of z6 are unmatched. What’s the point in lighter cameras when you can’t hold them one handed without a strap?
I agree with arrangearrange because weight seems to be the main issue for you and you shoot landcapes so a light apsc mirrorless Nikon would be way better for your hikes.
