I am going to mount my Zeiss 1.4 55MM on my D7000 via an adaptor. How will that lens compare, quality of picture wise, to the Nikkor 1.4 that you mentioned?? Or would I just be better off buying the Nikkor straight away?

This is great, thank you for letting me know. The old CZ will ride again !

Thanks, sounds like I would be better off selling this lens and buying a new one - seems like a lot less hassle. This old CZ was supposed to be a great lens and was just trying to take advantage of it - might be better off selling it unless I want to go back to my Yashica and shooting film again.

I have an old Carl Zeiss 1.4 55MM lens (used on my old Yashika camera with bayonnet mount) that I hardly used. I was at a camera shop and asked if I could use this on my new Nikon D7000 and they said "maybe" if I could find a converter. Does anyone know if I can do this?

I bought my D7000 at a regular camera store and the manual was right on top of the box. I would call whoever you bought it from and ask for it. Good luck.

Great job. Photography folk are a lot like animal folk, you just feel good being around them. You did a great service - thank you !

Very nicely done - nice detail. What lens were you using and distance from subject would be nice to know. Thanks again for showing.

Great pictures, thank you for sharing. Here are two that I shot through a window in my house here in Minn.

So take it off auto focus for both the camera and the lens? I will try it now and thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you for the advice but do have one question though - I shot a lot of pics of birds about 30 yards away with my zoom lens and way too many times it focses on a small branch instead of the subject which most often is birds. How can I get this to stop? Through the eye viewer I see it trying to focus with the small box but too many times it missess. Set it athletic mode, same. Tried to go AC and use manual focus but gets overridden - I am as dumb as a board apparently.
