If I go mirrorless I would have to sell the lot. In the meantime I want to take a vibration free shot with my camera on a tripod. Do I now sell all my gear and buy a mirrorless of some kind, or do I merely raise the mirror before I shoot? There is only one sensible answer. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

In your case, with your camera mounted on the tripod, raise the mirror, use LiveView, and manual focus with VR off, set the timer to release after 5-10 seconds, and trigger the timer using a remote release. ....but if you really want an excuse for going mirrorless, there it is. ;-) Remember, that with an adaptor you can still use your Nikkor glass, all manual, but you can use it. -- Regards, Savageduck |

If I was going mirrorless I would do as you did: start afresh with a downsized camera and lenses to match. As I have always said my switch to Fujifilm was initially due to Nikon being slow to deliver a replacement/update to the D300S. Once I had been exposed to the benefits of the Fujifilm X-System there has been no going back. If Nikon had released the D500 a few months earlier I might never have switched. Now I find myself with three Fujifim X-cameras, and 6 Fujinon lenses. That cash could just as easily have been spent on a D500, and some fresh Nikkor glass. Timing is everything, even in the release of cameras. -- Regards, Savageduck |

The Nikon Z mount is bound to have some OEM adapters, at least for more recent Nikkor glass. -- teleportation kills |
