All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them. No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica).

GRACKLE! 70-300 at 300mm, xt5.

Practicing handheld shots, panning with slower shutter speeds to show motion and still freeze the subject details...........I got these down to 1/20 and 1/15 sec, 150-600 at 150mm, xt5. Fun to try.

Trap Pond State Park, DE.......cypress trees on a calm day. 16-80mm.

these were better

couple more

Heavily cropped ospreys..........good shots, just too far away. 150-600mm.

Ocean City MD near Northside Park. 70-300.

I guess they're not insects........Indian River, DE on the beach, 70-300 I think.

A couple from Cape Henlopen, dreary day, dreary photos.

ok, one more, not sure if this was stretching or some sort of ritual.........

couple more

a few from Cape Henlopen and DE, 150-600mm horrible light.

(Open Thread) Not a winter landscape, but still cold.

No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem
