Nikon Z fc

Pros: Aesthetics, direct controls, lightness

Cons: Position of some keys (wb on the front) you inadvertently end up on it holding the machine. Very grainy high ISO image rendering, JPEG artifacts?

Opinion: I bought the Zfc because it's too pretty, so similar to my old FM. I put them close together in the window to keep each other company. Of course, to do the most old style thing I took the 28 SE which is so reminiscent of the NIKKOR E series. However, being a Sony FF and aps-c user (A7CM2 and A6700) for years now, I have a fleet of Sony E lenses, I looked on Amazon for an adapter to mount Sony lenses on Nikon Z and I found it, Meike transmits all electronic functions and can be updated in the firmware via USB. With the same optics I was a bit disappointed, of course the 6700 is a top of the range 26Mpx the Zfc has only 20, and is of a much lower price class, practically half, but the yield is much lower, less sharpness, reminiscent of the graininess of high sensitivity films, with the same shooting parameters. I reserve the right to make further checks for intellectual honesty, but I fear that this is the reality. Give me some feedback please. Thank you all.

Samyang AF 24-70mm f/2.8 FE

Pros: Brightness, construction, price.

Cons: Weight and parafocality is not always there.

Opinion: Despite the conflicting opinions I bought it to match the A7C. I reserve the right to express a reasoned opinion after some use in various situations. What leaves me perplexed, more than anything else in terms of curiosity is the lack of the vaunted parafocality, of which there are demonstrations in videos on YouTube, some very well cared for. Maybe you get it electronically through a firmware update? It should be an optical feature. Has anyone tried using the dedicated dock station? I found the answer Parafocality works electronically in video with manual focus *Par-Focal function is electronically controlled in MF Video shooting mode. From the official Samyang Optics website.
