P: Lens support Nikkor 16mm f2.8D with Nikon Z5 and FTZ

@DGrainger I think it's pretty simple logic. He is a paying customer and he'd appreciate a timeline. Customer satisfaction seems to be the base of his sentiment. If @Rikk can provide an ETA he will be a happy customer, and if not he may be dissatisfied. He pays monthly for software that will work, and right now it's not working. Long term he may not continue to be a customer if the company he pays a fee to every month doesn't provide excellent customer service. Right now they are not providing excellent customer service, just satisfactory. It's good that they responded to the issue and have a fix, but it would be excellent if they could provide a timeline to help us with our workflow. 

The logic I am having trouble following is why you are defending the act of not providing a timeline and calling it "internal corporate business information" lol.

" An estimation from @Rikk or adobe wouid be really beneficial since I pay a monthly fee for the entire adobe suite. "

Interesting logic! Not sure I follow the thought process, that of connection  of a monthly fee and the expectation of revelation of internal corporate business information.

@Z5User

thanks for the info!  Unless adobe wants to repay be $67 for this program I really want to keep my workflow the same. Especially when I have my own custom import presets to edit my style consistently.  I appreciate it though!

Luminar 4 will open and edit these NEF files until Adobe gets their act together.  The colors are way off in the Luminar Standard profile but fixable if you change to Adobe Standard then adjust from there.  Since Adobe hasn’t us a timeline I’ve had to incorporate this workaround into my workflow.

Unfortunately, I didn’t know this was an issue until after I shot the first part of a 2 part shoot...  or else I would have shipped this camera right back.  I feel like adobe was certainly trying to hide it since even last week when I had someone logged into my computer for hours... their response was my files were corrupted 🙄

@madmanchan

is this fix possibly coming this week. I’m unsure what length of time “not to Long from now” refers to in Adobe time.

Personally, I wouldn't do client work with third party lenses that don't work. You could always import them as TIFFs and edit those as another option. It's not RAW but it's something.

Read his earlier reply  7 days ago to another poster, it appears further down the page

@madmanchan

any update from this?  It’s been almost 2 weeks since you have been testing files.  

Yes I see that they “believe they fixed it” 11 days ago...   but how do you tell a client “I don’t know when I’ll be able to edit your photos...Could be a week...  could be 3 months...” I just need to know if I should  reshoot what I shot if it’s going to be a looooong time.   An estimation from @Rikk or adobe wouid be really beneficial since I pay a monthly fee for the entire adobe suite.
