Hardware Is Boring

I've just got a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G micro lens and can finally try out how the Z7 performs with the FTZ adapter. Picture quality is great - no concerns whatsoever. Not everything is perfect, though. With the smaller body of the Nikon mirrorless, the tripod plate (Manfrotto) extends out of the body and gets in the way of the adapter. I think Nikon wants us to put the tripod plate on the FTZ adapter instead of the camera body. This is inconvenient if you'd like to have the tripod plate installed with all lenses. I use the Peak Design wrist strap, which attaches to the tripod plate. I'd like to keep the wrist strap always on camera, since it makes the camera much more comfortable to hold. Now whenever I'm switching lenses from native to adapted, I have to unscrew the tripod plate and put it back on with the new lens What used to be a couple seconds swap, turns to a minute of messing around. I could buy a second plate and keep it on the FTZ adapter, but that only solves h

Pairing with a Pixel 2 XL was more complicated than should have been. Use the snapbridge app, don't pair in settings Try different order of approvals - approve on phone first, then 1 second later on the camera (if it doesn't work, try the other way round). Approving pairing on both at the same time doesn't work, the pairing fails. Wifi pairing worked immediately, however you lose location tagging, which for me is the main/only reason for pairing the camera to the phone.
