    I wonder if Nikon will make AF adapter for their AI-s lens, something like FTZ only with AF. Techart made one for Contax G lens - TZG-01 adapter - as far as I understand, it uses that funny little screwdriver that goes inside lens and turns AF mechanism. Maybe Techart will release one for Nikon...

    So many of use have Zf, I wonder how many Nikon sold so far... I moved from Sony to Nikon when Zf came out and ordered one, so don't know how Nikon is popular, but I don't think Sony had a model like this that so many pople bought it. Maybe a7c when it came out years ago, but don't think on same...

    Alright, everyone prefers neck straps, cool. Which one do you guys think would be good for Zf with some lens, not too huge, like those Voigtlanders amx, so nothing heavy as some Nikon zooms: Thinner one, Leash, or that wider strap? 19mm or 32mm wide?

    Now when we have so many Zf users - how do you guys "wear" it? Do you use neck straps? cross body? leather, or fabric? wrist straps only? or just plain naked? (Camera I mean :) ) I'm planning to get that new beige color Peak Design strap, but not sure if Zf with some lens would be too heavy for...

    Funny how many people buy Zf, it sounds like very popular camera.

    I hope so! Question is, which one they gonna do - f3.5 Color Skopar is best choice I think, however f1.4 is popular too.

    I wish Nikon and Cosina would start producing more lens for Zf, Z mount FF Voigtlanders and Nikon SE compact series. Plus release Sigma with i-series on Z :D Then I'll be happy.

    What do you think of your 50 APO? Compared to any other 50mm you used previously, do you think it is worth its price?

    I hope you guys can help me decide - I'm loving my new Zf camera and would like to get a nice little lens for it - Some small lens with character. I only have 40/2 SE and 24-70/4 zoom at this moment, but I prefer small lens. Even if its MF. That is why I was looking at Voigtlander 50mm f1.5 VM...

    Yep, Zf feels heavy and VERY sturdy, built like a tank. That comes from Sony a7c user, who always had small and light cameras. SOny a7c felt like a toy compared to this one. Zf is like a camera/self-defence tool :) I just came back from a trip where I used it heavily for a first time and it was...

    My Zf just had its first family trip. I was really surprised how good the battery was, compared to what I was expecting. I took almost 700 photos in 4 days and battery went down to 14%. I was expecting maybe 400 photos on one charge, but came back home after 4 days in Rome and didn't have to...

Bought Eversure insurance, £3000 full equipment, including accidental loss, New for Old etc £74 annual, sounds not bad I think, never had my camera insured, but now when bought brand new Zf, I'm scared to death taking it out every single time :D Hopefully now I will feel better. What...

    Info Photographic Equipment Insurance - considerations and providers

    Same here, which insurance would you guys suggest for short time trip cover? Or would annual cover be better? I don't know much about camera insurance, but was wondering if they, as default, cover new and used equipment? What happens when camera is stolne on a street, pickpocketing, on...

    I've never used zooms, so wanted to ask you guys, as I see you all mentioning that f8 at far end of that new lens would be an issue. I'm not interested in that new zoom, but contemplating some other zoom options and was wondering - most of those cheaper ones with 300-400mm end, are about f6.3...
