I thought the Nikon ZF was the best for vintage glass, then came the ZR.? Its unique form factor breathes new life into old lenses, you do need the right adapter though to get green boxes, IBIS, autofocus?  The 6 best adapters are all very expensive, and to help you pick I’ve torture-tested them in bad lighting and terrible weather.  There’s one last adapter I’m trying to track down, but my time in Tokyo’s running out.

Before leaving for Japan tomorrow, I went through 5000 photos?  My 8 favorite frames from my last trip home to Taiwan were taken on 4 different lens combos.  A series of primes, two at a time lets me cover both spaces and faces.  Can the pair of primes that worked best for me, work for you?

For the past month I’ve been trying to make the ZR my GR. 28 and 40mil lenses like the GRIII, IIIX, plus a promist filter like the HDF - I even went to a GR gallery to check.  Despite its overspec’ed internals, the ZR - like the GR - forces you to keep it simple, it even has “snap focus” - sort of?
