So, the ZF ...

[MILLIREHM]

After reading the specs it could be tempting to get one.
I like the 8 stop IBIS function. I assume that is using a lens around 50mm without any VR in the lens itself.
Then the old Nikkors would be more fun to use for street photography. For that 24 MP is sufficient.
Then for macro work on tripod the hi-res mode could be interesting.

IIRC it was announced that the 8 stop IBIS has been tested with the 24-120 mm Z Nikkor
I consider the importance of IS overemphasized generally

I saw it on NikonRumors indeed. It also do not mention spot metering on the Z5 but lists it for the Z6II.

It would not make any sense to bring the Zf without Spot-Metering

The Zf has a surprisingly rich feature set.
Unfortunately due to loss of dexterity it is not for me. Still using the Df occasionally.
I now expect Nikon to further segment the market with a new model btw the Zf and the Z8 ("Z7 III").

Indeed.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Bravo Richard, your modified Nikon Zf (or maybe is it a future Z-F3 ?) is really an achievement !

Perhaps you should also modify the front left button to give it the shape of F3's mirror-up (and mechanical shutter speed) button ?

Nice that Nikon decided to create a big brother for Zfc ! A successor of the (now getting old) Df !

Enjoy !

Is it an all metal body?
Also the hinged cover to the battery etc.?
Very few parts on my FM2/FE2 are plastic.

Zf body and main dials are made out of metal.

Prices on the Z6-2 and the Z7-2 have dropped by 20% here in Australia following the recent release of the Zf.

I wonder if this is a harbinger of an impending Z6-3 and  Z7-3 release?

EDIT: to change the Z6-2 and Z7-2 references in the line above to Z6-3 and Z7-3 (in red glow).

Or the prices are adjusted to reflect their current appeal in the Z lineup. I think people will choose the Zf over Z6 II due to the Expeed 7 providing features and focusing advantages to the Zf, while the Z8 is close enough to the Z7 II (while having many advantages) to be appealing to the same customers.

I would like to see the Z6 III as soon as possible, but it seems the Zf is likely to be allowed to have its time in the limelight and not have to compete with the Z6 III yet.

For me the lack of electrical cable release and lack of support for the WR-R10 makes me hesitate on the Zf despite it otherwise meeting my needs.

The Norwegian price is, as would be expected, rather stiff at NOK 31.900,- or approx. 3.200 Euro.

In the US they charge $1,999.95 only directly from the mother ship ... and the indigo blue leathering makes me salivate so much ...
