Hopefully it's helpful in your search! Just don't peek over the wall at the 100 35mm options

Good stuff, Scott. Nice to see the Nokton finally worked its way into your good graces

I agree with you on the Nikon comments. The SE version is very slick and has a certain wiffle ball feeling going on. When I had the Zf, I felt the SE was just encouraging me to drop the thing. I ended up moving it and then getting a non-SE for less, and that one feels just a little less slippery.

Also, just a random data point that came up when I was deciding what to do with the Zf... a naked Zf and 40 f/1.2 is the same weight as a Z8 and a 40 f/2.

And the Zf can actually zoom in for peaking/focus mag without lagging terribly like the Z8/Z9 does.

Great video review Scott! You really are good at your video reviews/essays. It's a talent I know I don't have!
