P: RAW Support for Nikon Z5 with 3rd Party Glass

I am finding an issue importing Nikon Z5 RAW files into Lightroom & Photoshop...Adobe's DNG converter also does not work for these files.  However, if RAW images are shot with Nikon lenses (either Z-mount native or adapted with FTZ adapter), all of these software programs can import just fine.  Will there be an update to allow the import of RAW images shot on 3rd Party Glass?  For reference, I was using the Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2.  NOTE: when using my Nikon 20mm 1.8g lens, all files imported as expected.

I cannot open those raw files with other raw converters as well, so I suppose it is more of a Nikon problem than an Adobe problem. I could open the raw files with On1 Photo 10 though.

Please tell me Adobe has an update for this? I need to deliver files and just realized I can't read the files :(.

Im having the same issue when using the Tamron 70-200 2.8 G2. Has anyone gotten more info about this from Adobe or Nikon?

I am having this same problem. I used the Sigma Art 85 1.4 while shooting RAW and I am receiving an import error. I would like to know if there is a fix coming rather quickly because the photographs were of a wedding and these images need to be delivered.

I'm thinking it's a firmware problem with Nikon.
