Thanks!
Currently no plan to get the adapter as I prefer to make use of the full raw Z lens capability directly on Z6ii. I dont have that many DSLR lens any way. Ha. Extra item and extra weight to carry is something I prefer to avoid where possible.
I was looking at the teleconverter but the 2 stop light reduction is a deterrent to me.
