I purchased a Nikon Z6II and a Nikkor lens about a month ago. I just learned that Nikon will not be permitting Z lenses to be made by third-party vendors (i.e. tamron, sigma, et al). I know Nikon makes great glass, but they are expensive, as everyone knows. So now I'm faced with keeping the Nikon or returning it for what was my close 2nd choice, a Sony a7iii. As some one here on UHH mentioned to me, there are a great many 3rd party Sony lenses. While I realize I could purchase the Nikon Mount Adapter FTZ II, it is $250.00 on top of the cost of whatever lenses I might buy. You may also sacrifice some lens functions with the when using other lenses with the adapter. I don't have a big budget for extra glass. I shoot pretty much everything, regardless of its nature (i.e. landscape, portrait, fast moving subjects and so on). I'm pressed for time so I need you input ASAP. Please, please no lectures, just advice. Many, many thanks.

Mr. Wardwell and Mr. ID, please take your arguments to some other website. This has been a terreific boon to me, and probably to other newbies. You are denigrating the efforts of all those who posted really good advice that is really helpful. Your arguments between the two of you are of zero interest to others who are really helping UHH so pleasse comtinue your disagreements on some othe venue, it is merely disruptive on UHH.

E L. Shapiro, it is really a treat to see you posting your always interesting comments and advice. Hope you post a lot more, your posts are like taking money to a bank.
