It is my first time mounting a non-nikon lens and I wanted to experiment with a descent f1.4 50mm and this has fantastic reviews. It was a knee jerk reaction because I paid a lot of money (hard earned like everybody else) and see it not working. I assumed it was intended for Z mount. I will keep...

Thank you all, I have never used any non-cpu lens, this is my first time. I googled the error message and got it working, really simple, here is the link Rokinon, Nikon Lenses: "Lock Lens Aperture Ring at Minimum Aperture (Largest f/-number)" View: https://youtu.be/q9DxMnABtUw

I see, I will check. Thanks

It is Milvus 1.4/50 ZF.2- mount, does anyone own one, is it compatible with some nikon f mounts but not others?

I am very confused by the Z ss and F s on the label, it is Milvus 1.4/50 ZF.2- mount precisely. I mounted it on my nikon D5100, the screen displays rEE, and it says "lock screen aperture ring at minimum aperture (largest f/-number)" I don't understand, does that mean it is not compatible with...

Thanks for the reply, I guess I have to sell it on, it is difficult for me to upgrade to Z mount system, I have invested a lot in the F mount.

I just bought the Carl Ziess Milvus Z mount 50mm f1.4 by mistake from ebay (did not read the Z mount bit) but I don't have Z mount Nikon camera, is there any adapter in shops that allows me to use it on my F mount nikon d500/ d5100? Thanks

@gerry s thanks for the info, this is my first time entering a photography contest so I am hoping to step up a gear. I guess it is like football referees, they know how to interpret the rules but not necessarily skilled in how to play football.

Thanks to all replies. @Dave Canon I believe the competition is organised by the zoo. The zoo was created and it is run by a governmental body. I looked at the profiles of the judges, I did not see any striking portfolios at all which led me to conclude that this is more about promoting the zoo...

Hi All, finally I decided to put more effort to improve my photography skills and participate in a zoo contest abroad. I have a lot of shots but I seem to have chosen portrait shots. I had a lot of troubles trying to shoot animals over fences, sometimes through glass which I cleaned with a...

Hi all, we had a very misty day today, used the met app to confirm that today was a misty day, bbc weather app said the same last night, few minutes before midnight. Indeed @droj I found the mist embrassed it and over-exposed my shots. :giggle:

@JasonPC webcam good idea, why not always use technology when you can. @Scirocco_09, I am still chasing that illusive fog, once I saw a similar scene to Ansel Adams...

@Jannyfox answer is very helpful, Indeed I configured the met office page to display visibility in km and that works. So I will use the app as a guide. As for the mist, I will head early at sunrise to a nearby lake, I pray I find some mist and perhaps flying Geese to make it two winning photos...

Hello friends Does any one know if there is a met office like app/website to forecast mist and fog by location and time. If you guys know of any app please could you share your experience, I have been waking up really early in the morning to shoot photos in the fog only to get no fog/mist...

Trying to understand the mindset of the great photographers, how do they make some outstanding photos of ordinary scenery. I pass everyday by the countryside, I keep saying to myself, it is all green and flat, what is there to photograph. As we are moving into mid-October, I noticed mist...
