As with all Nikons, I`m not overly impressed with the battery but at the same time I`m ok with it. Yes I do wish now that all batteries were like the one in the Z9 but hey, we can`t have it all.
Looks like a cracking lens
The Z 85mm f/1.8 S on the ZF is very fast, should be even better on a Z8 /9
Oh I don’t know. That misty trees shot is great - very moody.Spent last weekend in London, so thought I'd take just the Z7ii & 28mm f2.8 as a lightweight option. Pretty much convinced myself I'm not a 28mm focal length kind of photographer looking at some of the snaps I took.

On the other hand, give me the Z7ii, a zoom lens and some foggy woodland and I'm in heaven!

Sounds like that 28 is going to be an expensive paperweight then, I’ll send you my address and I’ll look after it for you lolSpent last weekend in London, so thought I'd take just the Z7ii & 28mm f2.8 as a lightweight option.

Thanks Stephen, that was with the zoom lens. Awesome conditions in fairness.
Haha, have you seen the price of the 28mm f2.8…. hardly ‘expensive’ in the scheme of things compared to other Z lenses

Saw that, sods law haha
Just what I was thinking.
You're a collector, nothing to stop you having another one
Mate. If it was a 35…You're a collector, nothing to stop you having another one
Don't i've spotted a 40 that needs a new home, bit close to 50 though, sadly the 35 for us is the f/1 at £1700, the f/1.2 is APSC, fancy the 65 f2 and the 110 f/2.5, somebody stop me

Could be. I like 35, but I would really like f1.4.
I’m also looking at this

The financial aspect is not lost on me, and I’ve had the Nikon f1.8 in the past. But this lens with the Zf is a marriage made in heaven. Shooting this setup is obviously a deliberate process. But it’s very satisfying when I get these results. There will be occasions I’ll shoot AF (I expect)
You get what you pay for, the build quality is superb and the aesthetics and handling sublime........
Since when ? You're a walking talking bottomless pit of cash
From what i've read and seen the 35 f2 isn't as good when it comes to flare and loses contrast when shooting at certain angles into strong light.
I, myself tried out the Nikon f1.8. I found it very competent but somewhat characterless so didn't keep it. This sort of look is better exemplified with the 85mm f1.8 which I really do like, though I haven't yet used it enough. With the 50's, I prefer the ancient 50mm f1.2 AIS as that has real (read swirly and other other delights) bokeh and the characteristic dreaminess wide open of the age. But the Vogt looks from yours and other examples as quite exceptional and MF would be fine for such a lens.

Oh wow, this I didn't expect at all! Especially from Nikon.This is a surprising announcement, Nikon has purchased the Cinema Camera manufacturer RED.
What makes this more interesting is that the RED cinema cameras use the Canon RF mount and they license their Compressed Raw codec to Canon. Wonder what that means for the collaboration triangle going forwards ?
Surprising news: Nikon officially acquired RED! - mirrorlessrumors
No, this is not an early April fools joke nor a crazy rumor! Nikon did indeed acquire 100% of RED! The question is….what benefits does this bring to Nikon and RED? For Nikon: Maybe some Nikon cameras will get the REDCODE RAW recording feature Access to some amazing sensor tech For RED: Maybe...
Cannot tell you how tempted I am by Voigtlander 50mm f1…
So am I, but I must be strong
Thing is. The f2 is a superb match for the Zf. Has yours arrived from Panamoz yet ?
I’ll find something..@trevorbray @Stephen L
What on gods earth are you going to shoot at f/1 ?
Loose purses the pair of you
Arrived today, a day late. Trouble is, I’ve been stuck in a “volunteers“ meeting all afternoon so still setting it up. Bigger than I expected but impressed with the build quality.
Be totally wasted for me. Just lust!@trevorbray @Stephen L

My purse is now tightly bolted together and loctited. Might run to an OM 50mm f1.4.
Lust is Life..isn’t it ?
