The all black Zfc cameras were only sold in Australia directly by Nikon Australia and at quite a premium over the black and coloured panda versions available from camera shops and retailers.  About an extra 20% IIRC.

It looks very nice as presented here.

A nice surprise awaited me late last night, when I finally managed to return to Norway. The Black Beauty Z fc travelled all the way from Japan to greet me [and my excellent Spanish mouse] :)  I adorned the camera with a vintage strap harking back to the F2 era.

Congrats on the all black Z fc Birna - it really looks the part. This color can also be bought from Nikon Switzerland directly.
Also the black version with 6 colors of leatherette: https://www.nikon.ch/de_CH/product/cameras/z-fc-black-midnight-grey-VOA093BE

For some strange reasons, the all-black Z fc is not available in my country.

I purchased a mint Z fc in opened box from Japan, for around 800 Euro. If any VAT is added by the carrier, I can deduct that later so no worries.

Sunday street shooting

X-T3 with the 18-55 and a 3 stop ND filter to tame the direct sunlight

(looks like I need to clean the sensor, lens, filter or the whole lot)

Superb impact & vibrancy Armando.
At no stage did I notice anything that needed cleaning - the action in the shot & great b&w was enough

The black body and top with the Olive Green inserts could be enticing for me.  Others mileage might vary.  ;D

The black body was only offered with black inserts here in Australia.  Clearly there must be market dependent offerings for the Zfc.

After my recent sunny and warm spring break in Spain, I'm back to normality- Meaning blue hour light, icy cold "spring" temperatures +1C this morning, strong wind, and rain mixed with sleet. Nature will remain no matter what.

Waiting for another delayed commuter train

Any nice 24 Nikkor can do good to any Nikon body :)
