Thanks for the informative review. This lens is going to be a game changer in the wide angle arena.

 

We will be selling it on popflash.com

Autofocus on the zf is very fast when coupled with a z lens. Plus the wide range is awesome.

 

I think FPS is 10. But, don't take my word for it. 

 

 

After an extended period of use now, I can say the zf is my goto camera now. I rarely pickup the m11 these days as the zf is such a joy to use.

I had used Nikon F3 in film age, Zf is rather like F3 than FM2, I am fully satisfied now.

I set the video record button to zoom in and check critical focus when I need to which although not often, is a very useful feature. I have owned a Leica M10, & I can say the files are every bit as nice as what I achieved from that camera. I have a Leica MP permanently loaded with HP5 & the ZF is a brilliant compliment to that. I use a novaflex adapter to mount my M mount lenses on the ZF and I could't be happier with the setup. The ZF came with the 40mm f2 prime which I thought I wouldn't like, but the opposite is true. It's a great little lens, sharp enough, contrasty images that pop and smooth to operate. It would be great if it wasn't all plastic and it had a manual aperture ring, but it's light, fast and handy as an allrounder to have in the bag. The ZF has already endeared itself to me, I think the other camera companies should sit up and take notice. Leica are the only other company making a solid, durable manual centric camera that is an actual joy to shoot with. The Leica cameras come in after a hefty investment which makes the ZF all the more attractive, I think Nikon will find this is a very popular camera for them.

I have similar feelings about the ZF. For me it brings back the joy of photography again. My other cameras are M11 and Nikon film cameras. I regret getting rid of my MP which I loved. But now, If I shoot film it's on an F3T and an F6 which for me has the perfect metering of any camera ever made. I have the 50mm 1.8 Z for it and love it. Although, I love shooting my manual focus glass on it as well. With those two film cameras and my ZF I feel young again :) Who needs Centrum when you have film nikon cameras and and a ZF" 😄

For detailed settings I recommend Hudson Henry Videos on Youtube

That's good to know. However, for the most part, most of what I am looking for can be found on message boards and forums since I am od simple mind and am just looking for basic setting info. The more complex stuff like what Tom talks about is better documente din books :)
