The Nikon Zf has caught the attention of many thanks to its classic design and advanced features. Here’s how it handles.
Coming to you from Alex BarreraThis insightful video explores Nikon ZF. Initially, Barrera was attracted to the camera’s classic design but was apprehensive about its narrow grip. These concerns were allayed when he tested the camera with a smaller grip, which made it more comfortable to hold, especially for those with larger hands. This improvement, combined with its classic look, convinced him to give the Nikon Zf a try. The addition of the grip and the design of the camera made it a versatile option for a variety of shooting situations, offering both form and function.
Barrera highlights the camera’s autofocus system, which inherits features from Nikon Z9 Camera. The system is praised for its speed, accuracy, and reliability, even with low-cost lenses. Barrera notes that the Nikon Zf’s autofocus outperforms some competitors, marking a significant improvement in Nikon’s technology. This makes it an attractive option for anyone who needs precise focusing, whether for professional or personal projects.
The video also discusses the Nikon Zf’s color science, which impressed Barrera. He compares it to Leica’s raw files, which are known for their vibrant characteristics and ease of editing. The Nikon Zf’s raw files provide a similar experience, making post-processing easy and efficient. This is especially valuable for photographers who want high-quality results with minimal effort.
The 40mm f/2 lens that comes with the camera is another highlight. Despite being a budget lens, it offers a unique look with pleasing sharpness and subtle imperfections that add to its charm. Barrera appreciates the way the lens adds a distinctive look to images, making it a favorite for a wide range of shooting conditions. The performance of this lens proves that you don’t always need top-of-the-line equipment to achieve great results, emphasizing the value of well-designed, affordable gear. Check out the video above for Barrera’s full rundown.
