Is the Nikon Z7 compatible with this manual focus ...

Is the Nikon Z7 compatible with this manual focus lens? Besides no image stabilization, are other capabilities lost?
Asked by: Donald
As the Venus Optics Laowa Argus FF 28mm T1 Cine Lens (Nikon Z) is a fully manual lens, aperture and focus would need to be controlled manually as well. You may also lose any focus confirmation features built into the camera itself.
