Nikon Z* mirrorless

[imattersuk]

I really must get out more, another dog walk grab.
This time Zf and Typoch Simera 28mm. Pretty sure this at f2.8
I like the fact there's a brown one in the herd.

If you take out a different lens every day from your collection, that will keep you busy for at least the next 28 days...........

More likely 3 months, knowing Trevor ...

Just done a count up and surprised myself. Including adapted lenses, I could keep going for 13 days

You’ve all misread me. I’ve only 3 manual focus. 1 AF zoom and just 3 AF primes. I’m a minimalist kinda guy nowadays…

So where is the z6iii ?

So where is the z6iii ?

Still knocking round the rumour mill, AKA the wish factory.

 

[dcash29]

How are you all finding the colours on the Zf versus other Nikon DSLR's or other makes of camera

I find them quite distinctive ............ maybe of the "dark" side if that is the correct word - or maybe "rich" or "deep" is a better description

I'm not complaining just interested in what others think

It's a z6ii sensor

Still knocking round the rumour mill, AKA the wish factory.

This is why I have very little patience with these online f***wit sites, spewing out click bait videos.

Nikon will announce on 11th June.

Right if they say so. They could do to announce a z50 replacement at the same time.

 

[imattersuk]

Wherever it is you can be sure @trevorbray has his pre-order placed

 

[dcash29]

Well they might have it at the Wales photographic show?

 

[trevorbray]

Don’t you know Z6iii = Zf

 

[jknights]

Rather have my Zf than a Z6iii but that is just me.

Not rumor about rumor, just a high level rumor

Finally: Nikon Z6 III announcement in two weeks (on or around June 11) - Nikon Rumors

The Nikon Z6 III camera is rumored to be officially announcement in two weeks. I do not have an exact date yet, but we are talking about the June 10-12 timeframe. You can see all previously reported Z6 III specifications here (the first set was reported in December last year). I will try to do […]

Then another report on the same page?

Yeah they all use the Sony A7m3 / Z6ii sensor

But even the exact date is a rumour …

 

[jknights]

Not interested unless it is a 45MP Zf.
Zf fanboy definitely. I wish this camera had been around 3-5 years ago!

The day has finally come I'm due to pick up an X100VI as a every day carry alternative to my Sony A7Riv and all I can think about is the Zf (the pictures on this thread have not helped at all), though it's basically the same weight as the. In fact slighty more, I think. It really doesn't help that the long term plan will be to replace the Sony with a Ziii at some point in the future for landscape duties and an EDC in the same ecosystem would make sense.

Please, someone tell me the Zf is a bad idea as an EDC.

For me personally edc needs to be smaller.
ZFc may be could work but not Zf.
Even better if it's a high res and you can use a small sharp prime and rely on cropping for more reach.

So for me things like XT50, X100VI, RX1rii, A7CR or A7cii etc works better as EDC. YMMV.

I’d agree I love the ZF but for EDC a Z FC would be my choice.

It’s a brilliant EDC for me. Especially when paired with a small prime. The 40mm kit lens is perfectly good enough and very light. Anything you decide upon will come with compromises. The Z ecosystem covers all I need.
Yes. I’ve considered the Fuji. Sometimes still do. But the Zf, ….

Caveat: Leica Q3

I keep my ZF with me in the car every day but if I was walking around all day with it the weight would eventually bother me. It’s not bad with a small prime but the Z FC much lighter and for me, better suited for EDC. I’m getting old though.

 

[imattersuk]

Anyone who thinks the ZF is too heavy to carry around all day must have tincy wincy little muscles

Looks like Trev and me are the only real men around here

 

[dcash29]

In my opinion an everyday camera is equivalent to a Sony A6700.
So in 2 weeks, Nikon need to announce the Z60.

 

[wibbly]

I had a Zfc for a while and quite liked it… it was silver though which really bothered me. Wasn’t the same kind of build as a Fuji, but seemed to hold up OK for every day use. In the end I sold it with the intention of using my Z7ii in DX mode, which gives a similar file size, but in truth I never use it like that.

I keep thinking I need to move on my X-Pro2 which gets little use and pick up a black Zfc or even a Z50 for use with a couple of small prime lenses. The Zf just doesn’t do it for me… unless a big sensor version appears…

 

[dcash29]

I'll sure you'll be disappointed with a z50, I find it horrible compared to my Z6ii.

No he's had a Q-P and 2 x Q2 - I believe

I know he's still got some gaps in the" I-Spy Book" of "Cameras I Have Owned"

Does he underline them like we used to in the Ian Allen trainspotters books?

 

[imattersuk]

I feel it only fair to point out that at least Trev scratches his itch(s) with lightning speed and doesn't procrastinate unlike certain others (recommend me a 100-400 combo)

 

[trevorbray]

Does he underline them like we used to in the Ian Allen trainspotters books?

Absolutely mate.

My son is turning into a heartbreaker.. Nikon ZF plus Jupiter 3 50mm f/1.5.
