Diamonds are a girl's best friend -- Dremel, K-rings, and epoxy glue, are a photographer's best friends :)
at least i have got some K-rings so far :)

I suspect there might not be any hole through.

Lightroom Classic (the latest version) works OK with the Zf NEFs.

The new MH-34 charger for EN-EL15b/c batteries, with usb-c socket, is much smaller than the "original" MH-25a:
Is it known what USB C profile the charger uses?

So there appears to be no chance for easy adaptation. The Zf is a great camera but we certainly have some unnecessary flaws (like this and the new charger policy)

Are there different USB C profiles?

Isn't the MH-34 void of the actual charger which needs to be as an additional piece? I.e. it doesn't accept mains (AC) voltage, instead it requires a USB-C PD charger?

How cleverly the number of small pieces required in practice increases when the EU is trying to decrease it.

Interesting to read Tom Hogan's take on the Zf. Much of it positive, and at least some of it constructive.

The very brief instructions mention that it works (next to Nikon EH-7P and EH-8P AC adapters) with AC adapters that support Power Delivery.

Mine is connected to an USB port on the back of one of my Apple Studio displays, works without a problem.

A lot of people make erroneous claims there ... reading the manual (reference guide) would help rather than publicly present incorrect assumptions about how it works.

guys watch this from 40" - I thought the Zf didn't have a sensor shield... am I missing something?

What we apparently see are the shutter blades. Not the shield structure of Z9 (and Z8).
