Owns a Z9 and Zf; the Zf is a fun, tank-built grab-and-go camera, their go-to for people, landscapes, travel and low light, at some ergonomic cost.

“The Zf is a fun camera but it’s built like a tank. It’s very performative. You do pay an ergonomic price, but that’s also”

Bought the Zf for travel because the Z8 was too bulky, but finds it heavy and bulky too; moved to a Fujifilm X-E5 for travel.

“I bought the Zf for travel because the Z8 was too bulky. Now I’m wide used the Zf for work and I can confirm it’s heavy and also bulky for”

Their Z8 rarely leaves home; the Zf with the 40mm comes everywhere as a light point-and-shoot that's still a powerhouse, though big lenses need a grip.

“whenever I’m going out to snap a few shots or go travelling it’s the ZF that always comes with me with the 40mm lens. The reality is I want a light, portable camera that can”

Finds the Zf fun to use and unobtrusive, with AF similar to the Z8, cleaner low-light files and a great match for small primes.

“Af performance is fantastic and similar to z8, better low light performance too with larger pixels for cleaner files in low light. Great walk around body for small primes. Definitely”

Found the Zf's retro form annoying in practice and missed a vertical grip, so switched to the Z5II.

“the form of the Zf is cool in theory but for me I just was annoyed. also no vertical”

Uses the Zf daily for professional and personal work around the world; good for travel but heavy and clunky with large lenses.

“Zf is a good travel camera but its metal built and heavy. I use it for all my professional and personal work and carry it daily and taken it all over the world. But its”

Traded a Z7II for a Zf and really likes it, even with 400mm and 600mm lenses, but the ergonomics differ, there's no joystick, and it's heavier than it looks.

“I traded my Z7ii for a Zf and I really like it. There are some things to keep in mind though. Ergonomics are very different. Using it with bigger lenses”
