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 am a handful of months late to join this party, so wondering if this has this been resolved yet? or is everyone still using a workaround and converting files to dng?

I do not find dng even remotely the same as a RAW 😞

Hi! Same issue, just got my Z5, got a converter with Nikkor AF-S 3.5-5.6 G II 18-200DX lense for now, and the nef files can not be opened in PS, there is an error with a link to nonexistent page :

Photoshop cannot open this file.

if you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure

I'm not sure if you send to PS from LR, but make sure you download the latest cc update. The released the fix for this last month. The fix was in LR and I assume for the same camera raw engine for PS as well.

I have beeb having this problem also. On1 Photo Raw wil open these files and id a pretty good raw converter. You can get a free trial that might fill in until Adobe/Nikon fix it.

Hmmmm, I only use 1 lens on my newly purchased Z5, which is a nikon 24-70mm 2.8f lens and I have problems importing raw files into lightroom. So I don't think it's a 3rd party glass issue. Seems to always be the case, everytime nikon comes up with a new product, along with it is a set of new problems

How is this considered a correct answer?

Of course this is a problem. Shot an engagement session with my sigma 35 yesterday. Now having this issue. THANKFULLY I also shot on my EOS R 50mm so I will be able to deliver something in a reasonable time!

Has this been fixed at all?

Download Nikon NX D for the moment. Adobe hasn't pushed the fix out to everyone yet.

Do you know if they've pushed the fix out to anyone yet? Trying to get a sense of timelines, and if they're A/B testing it with a group that's usually a good sign.

私も全く同じ症状で悩みました。
Nikonサポートに問い合わせると、Capture NXD Ver1.6.3であればサードパーティー製のレンズで記録したNEFでも表示や編集ができるという返事でした。
実際にCapture NXD Ver1.6.3にバージョンアップすればNEFファイルを表示や編集することができました。
Adobe社のサポートチャットで確認したところ、この問題はAdobe社の開発部門に報告済みでアップデートを待って欲しいと言っていた。
どうしても待てない事情がある場合は、Caputure NXDでファイル＞他のアプリケーションを使用して画像を開くでPhotoshopを登録してTiff変換してから開けば編集可能となります。

I hope Adobe and Capture One can find a fix asap bc not too many people like NX-D when it comes to workflow and batching.

I have the latest versions of LR and PS and can't import or open Z5 raw files shot with adapted glass. Nikon Z lenses aren't any problem but everything else is not working. I can import and open the same files in jpg only. I even tried M mount lenses without any exif data. I get an error message stating the raw files aren't recognized. Any help?

Wow. This sounds really odd, but as you've specificially tested, it seems that however the EXIF data gets wrtitten is somehow the culprit. Sounds like a bug. Report here: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/categories/photoshop_family_photoshop_lightroom

Yes, odd. Even more confusing is neither Capture 1 nor Nikon NX-D will open these NEF files but Luminar 3 does. I did check the link you provided and the issue has been reported as I'm not the only one experiencing problems. Thank you.

Just shot the first wedding with my Z5 and ran into this problem as well. Half the photos were taken with a Sigma Art lens and can't be imported. I'm amazed this isn't a more widespread issue, It took me quite a bit of googling to find this thread. Hoping more comments here might prompt Nikon/adobe to get their act together a little quicker.

Boom!!!! Here it is. THE WORKAROUND!! It's a pain and takes time, but if you download the Nikon NX-D software, you can convert the NEF files to a TIFF file. THEN you can send to Lightroom, Photoshop & (I know this is an Adobe forum, but let's be real) Capture One.

I hope this works for you.

Though I can see the images in ViewNX (not in Capture NX-D), I cannot convert them. I get an error message, unsupported file type.

@dreidphoto

I downloaded capture NX-D and was able to convert under the file tool bar
(Ctrl+E). Make sure you are using Capture NX-D. I’m still awaiting an
official response from Nikon as it seems it is a file issue, but this does
the trick for now. --
Thank you,
