Taken late afternoon in Oxford today with the super boring but much nicer than I remember 24-70 f/4S at 33mm at f7.1 on the Zf. No crop, just standard minimal preset.

Spent an hour in my local camera shop yesterday going through the MF assist aids. Was so impressed I have ordered one from B&H who ship to the UK.
If you want the black version, yes, it is still on sale. The Indigo blue version has gone back to MSRP and has been out of stock on the Nikon website for weeks now.
B&H have the indigo blue in stock, apparently in the US the non black versions aren't exclusive to Nikon which is a bit unfair on UK partners..
Pricewise, it is roughly the same even allowing for taxes. A new Zf in the UK is 2199, importing it cost me 2088 inc VAT and that includes 4 yrs of manufacturer defect and accidental damage cover, which includes water damage so I can shoot in the rain without worrying.

Importing it likely gives you 0 years of Manufacturer's warranty unless you want to send it back to the US for any service, Nikon is pretty down on Grey market and the local operations generally will either not service or just not warranty the units.
Here in Canada, Nikon Canada will not warranty a unit bought from B&H. I expect the same from the UK side

That is down to B&H and their cover, they pay for any repairs and my local camera shop who are exclusively Nikon said it would be fine when I asked as they knew a few people that had gone the same route
I took a photo this evening with the Zf using the 28mm 2.8 that incorporated Venus over the Moon, shot at ISO 100 at 1/5th sec handheld at f/5.6 - the IS of the Zf is brilliant, it was -2 degrees C and it compensated for my shivering
Ok…Só I’ve been shooting Fuji (X100V, X-Pro2, X-T4) for a few years now, coming from Canon full frame and Zeiss ZE lens…Fuji is good, but I miss the full frame goodies, and the ZF maybe my ticket back to it without the bulk and weight…I’m particularly impressed with the 28mm 2.8 and the Voigtlander lens images I’ve seem in this thread, but as I have a bunch of XF lenses laying around…are there adapters to use them on the ZF? (I’m aware of the image circle size difference…)? Also have some Zeiss CY and one Voigtlander 15mm m-mount I guess I can adapt…I like manual focus…
