And this is somehow related to the price of fish in France ?
The type of equipment you use is of no concern to the average public.

Absolutely, well said.
When I was working in photography to earn money, the public did not know or care about what equipment I was using, they cared about results and judged me on my portfolio before hiring me. Today everyone who owns a smart phone considers themselves a photographer. Most of the public do not know how to judge the quality of a photograph or what goes into a photograph taken by an experienced photographer.

All I can say is, I am glad the people on this thread don't make the rules that we all have to abide by.

The second person that you spoke with is correct. Your VR or nonVR F lenses will work with the Nikon Z6 or Z7 and the LTZ adaptor.
I do believe SuperflyTNT is correct in his statement VR lenses will only work in 3 axis instead of 5.

I understand and totally agree with you. I guess that's why I will always be an amature photographer; however, my wife would disagree considering the amount of money I've spent on equipment. Anyone have an extra bedroom for rent?
Money and high end equipment does not a professional photographer make.

What would it be like ? Dirt simple. Attach lens, insert battery and card, make your pictures. Works perfectly, every time, for real users.
Each lens would be prohibitively expensive.

Does the FTZ adapter really work, I am a skeptic and it is what is keeping me from making the jump to mirrorless, that and the cost of investing in "Z" lenses. Grrrrrrrrrrr...........!!!!!!!!!!! My primary lenses are Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 non VR and Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 current iteration; I use them on both a crop sensor and full frame Nikon body. I shoot some video with both bodies and an occasional time lapse with the full frame so video performance is important as well.
It will not work on older D lenses, but it works with G and E lenses.

Hi Aims
I use a couple of programs including Photoshop, Light Room and another. Here are a couple of examples. I'm still learning and having fun.

I think that photo and art photo are two different creative arts. They have to be treated differently and it has to be two types of different contests.
I am not professional photographer - I am an armature, And my profession is Decorative Art, so my opinion May not to be correct. It is personal opinion.

I used to do weddings back in 1960's through the 1980's and would supper impose a music sheet as a layer on top of the couples dance number (art or photography), many wedding photographers did the same thing. I would also use special filters like star burst filters and multiple image filters on the lens of the camera, again many photographers did the same thing. When I charged the client for the photo prints they never asked is this real or did you manipulate the view, they either liked it or did not like it and would either pay or not pay. I once photographed a portrait of a client who had a brain operation and the right side of her face was caved in, I had National Color Lab (who I sent some of my work to) do a symmetrical rebuild of her right side of her face on the 11X14 portrait, when I presented it to her she cried with happiness as the portrait was a gift to her parents that lived in California (she lived in New Jersey), what a good feeling it was to make people happy. What I am trying to say is their is a time and place for all types of photography (art or strait out of camera).

Hi Bruce - yes - absolutely - for me our scenery is beautiful and accessible - but I have to rely on accurately recorded true photos to see the rest of the world. 
I personally like both processes of photography, realistic and art. With my handicap I could never be a true artist I would end up like Vincent Willem van Gogh rather than true art like Rembrandt, so photography fills that void for me.

Yes Peter - quite so - but for someone in UK with limited chances to see the world, like Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, true pics are important. Years ago I used to love watching western films - not for the often drippy stories, but for the scenery.
You have beautiful scenery in Great Britain as well. Scotland has some of the most attractive scenery to be found as does Ireland, and I love Yorkshire.

Hi all! I am looking for suggestions on which program is best for taking a photograph and making it look like a watercolor or painting. Any suggestions? It’s just something fun I’d like to try! Thanks!
Something like this? It was done in Photoshop.
