As with its F-mount lenses, Nikon isn’t sharing the technical details with third-party lens manufacturers. However, if using adapters is not your thing, your lens choices are currently still quite limited. The ability to attach almost any existing DSLR lens to the Z-series cameras using an adapter is a welcome side benefit of the Z mount’s large dimensions.

Overall, the new Z mount offers a lot more flexibility in terms of lens design than its F-mount counterpart - and indeed, more flexibility than most full-frame lens mounts from the competition. Thankfully, this can be corrected in post-processing, and a longer lens design helps to mitigate the effect. In addition, the short flange-back distance can result in stronger vignetting. The lens diameter at the mount point has to be larger as well, which will have an impact on its overall dimensions and weight. The Z mount’s larger dimensions also come with a downside, though. None of the new Nikkor Z lenses are stabilized, because the Z-series cameras come with an IBIS (in-body image stabilization) system that moves the sensor to compensate for camera shake by contrast, F-mount cameras use lens-based image stabilization. The lens mount on the Nikon Z7 mirrorless camera is visibly larger than the D850 DSLR’s F mount. This makes it easier, at least in theory, to design high-performance lenses - especially wide-angle variants - or lenses that are smaller, lighter, and simpler than comparable F models. With the Z mount, the maximum possible angle of incidence for marginal light rays is around 44.09 degrees, compared to 12.1 degrees for the F mount. The combination of these two factors means that there is a lot more space for projecting light onto the corners of the image sensor at straighter angles than was possible with the F mount. At 16mm, the flange-back distance (the distance between the rear element of the lens and the sensor) is also much shorter than for the F mount (46.5mm). With an inner diameter of 55mm, the new Nikon Z mount is currently the largest of all full-frame lens mounts on the market, and 25% wider than the F mount that Nikon has used on its SLRs for more than 60 years. Not only do the new Z6 and Z7 camera models do away with the mirrors and optical viewfinders that were essential components in Nikon SLRs since the 1950s, they also come with a new lens mount.
DXO PHOTOLAB 2 NIKON Z6 SOFTWARE
DxO is not perfect in every way, it could use an improved clone tool with more controls, an HDR and panorama function for combining multiple images, better chromatic aberration removal tool for lenses that they don't have a profile for, and I wish it could add watermarks, but can't have it all I guess! That's how we end up with multiple software that do some of these things better than others.The announcement of the full- frame mirrorless Z camera system in August 2018 was a bold step for Nikon. I find DxO's results better for many things. I feel like I'm wasting $10.00 a month on Adobe. Occasionally I'll fire up Photoshop to clone something bigger out of an image. I haven't used Lightroom for anything other than adding watermarks or downsizing multiple images since.

I tried DxO PhotoLab for free for 30 days two years ago and liked it so much, I had to have it. I have an Adobe subscription to Lightroom and Photoshop CC. I used to use their sharpening filter way back on every print.


It anything, their Nik collection seems like a good deal. I am already paying for LR so it is hard to justify another raw processor.
