To the owners of this sexy looking camera, is the autofocus suitable for some action and sports photography? I am mainly a stills photographer of landscapes, people and cars.
But, sometimes, when there's rally and racing events I want to track the cars and freeze the action or make panning shots of the vehicles. Will this camera be suitable (with the right lens) for that task?
What is the maximum fps in raw at full bit deph with af-c and ae?
I currently own a Nikon Z5 and it is a bit frustrating at times...
I hope my english isn't an issue since my mother tongue is spanish.
Thank you.

I want to return it, but I got it at Nikon's sale price, and they will not send me another one unless I pay the extra 50 dollars.
It was purchased from Nikon directly, and I received it less than a month ago.
Some internet sites say this is normal and nothing is wrong.
Do you have any ideas on this?

TOKYO - Nikon Corporation (Nikon) is pleased to announce the release of the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S, a fast wide-angle prime lens that is compatible with full-frame/FX-format mirrorless cameras for which the Nikon Z mount has been adopted.
The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S is part of the S-Line* series, and realizes outstanding optical performance. It emphasizes the main subjects with soft and beautiful bokeh, and provides realistic expression of textures. Sharing the same design concept as the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S and the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S, it offers superior rendering capabilities as well as delivering depiction with a sense of depth, even at its wide angle of view.
The optics are constructed by employing three ED glass elements and one aspherical ED glass element, enabling effective aberration reduction. In addition, the application of Meso Amorphous Coat, Nano Crystal Coat, and ARNEO Coat minimizes ghosting and flares, providing outstanding optical performance. The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S supports diverse imaging expressions, including portraiture such as weddings, street photography, and video recording.
Nikon will continue to pursue a new dimension in optical performance while meeting users' needs, contributing to the development of imaging culture, with the hope of expanding possibilities for imaging expression.

This is an interesting video I though I would share. One thing is certain. The ZF is a hot commodity!

Fixed an issue that sometimes caused overexposure in the viewfinder and monitor shooting displays (live view) when the standby timer had expired then reactivated.

A site dedicated to the true retro camera in today's digital world. We hope you enjoy this site and start posting images captured with your camera. Unlike your typical photo site these days, Nikon-ZF.com is mainly gallery focused with discussions centered on photo comments. However, we do have this cool message board that allows us to post anything we ant to talk about without it becoming an overwhelming forum.
Just like the camera being retro, so is our message board. As soon as we start getting images, they start showing up in the gallery. So don't waste time and start posting now! A little backstory here.
As you may or may now know, I started a very popular website called Rangefinderforum over 20 years ago. It was something I was passionate about and felt it would eventually grow in popularity. Fast forward to today, and that website is one of the most popular niche camera sites on the web. Having said that, I have the same feeling about the ZF series cameras. I am so stoked about this camera. I believe the new ZF is a game changer classic in the making camera which the new generation of younger photographers and old timers have been looking for in a camera. Something that is solid, retro, beautiful and fun to shoot with.
With that in mind, if you are a ZF owner or plan on getting one soon ( I am still waiting for my ZF to arrive ), I encourage you to join www.nikon-zf.com which is a brand new site dedicated to this fantastic new camera. That's how passionate I feel about the ZF. A website just for the ZF series camera! The site is new and has no content. So, get in on the first days of Nikon-ZF and become a charter member. Juts like Rangefinderforum did, I feel www.nikon-zf.com will flourish as well with photographers like you providing content.

For example http://jt.nikon-zf.com will go directly to my profile page. DO NOT put https in the link as it will not pass the security test and throw a warning.
You can use http which will redirect to https for you.
If you have a dot in your name, then just remove the dot. so a user name with john.doe would just be jondoe When we have more photos from members, we can have it redirect to the member gallery instead.
In the meantime, feel free to update your bio in the dashboard.

Thanks for sharing!
jtorral wrote: 🕐 10-25-23 15:34As mentioned in other messages or newsletters. This is not really a forum and the messageboard is somewhat retro where we can post whatever we want and search.
Since I wrote this from scratch, without getting to overloaded with features, what do you think of it and what would you like to see different? Thanks JT
jtorral wrote: 🕐 10-25-23 15:05That's right. As photos get uploaded the homepage will get content and the gallery will grow.
So. Don't hesitate to share your ZF images we are all eager to see them.

This is it. Post an image of your ZF and share with outhers!
I wish that was my ZF. But I am still waiting.
Two questions
Does it feel rough on the adapter to body side or the lens to adapter side ?
I just tried 3 different Z mount lenses and then the adapter with an F mount lens. The adapter and the Z mount lenses feel about the same going on and off.
All 4 attempts were smooth with a minor increase in tension as the adapter was twisted half way on or halfway off. It almost feels like a spring pusing between the lens and body or adapter and body. Again, this felt the same on all 3 lenses and adapter.
If its under warranty, Nikon should exhnage it or replace it for no extra charge. Are you here in the US? Maybe policies are different in other countries. But reeason would dictate that if you buy something on sale and it doesnt work right, they replace it. Its not a bait and switch to make you buy something then upsell you on a non deffective item.
Sounds fishy.
