Anyone interested in the tech for manual focusing that Nikon have released with the new Zf? Basically it allows eye/face focusing with manual focus lenses. I think this is REALLY interesting tech and I think it'll be adopted widely by other brands before too long. The enthusiast market are interested in adapted lenses and this makes it easier to focus quickly and accurately in an EVF.
I think this would be a killer feature in the SL line and any proposed EVF body for M lenses.

Hi Gordon,
Do you know if this works with adapted lenses without electronic contacts?
I'm not sure. I haven't played with this function. I have resisted getting a Zf. And it's been very VERY tempting. But I don't need another 24MP camera and I never use my Z7. So far I've resisted, which is rare for me. I even played with one in the store for a few minutes and didn't buy it. But damn it's a nice camera. I see absolutely no comparison to the SL2 at all frankly. It's more like a big beautiful XT-5.
Plus I've been back from Mongolia/Japan less than two weeks and have picked up three new cameras already. ??

My Zf arrived yesterday, and it is a great camera. My only complaint is a familiar one, which is why in the world did they combine PASM with manual dials instead of just putting an AUTO setting on the ISO and Shutter Speed top dial?
Nikon's implementation of Auto ISO is also really strange to me, perhaps because it's just new to me, but I think also because it's just strange on its face. Moving the PASM switch to say Aperture priority then turning the ISO dial to "C" doesn't work like it does on a Fujifilm camera – Auto ISO is completely independent of the "C" setting. If Auto ISO is enabled, it works across both C and all manual ISO selections on the top dial – the catch being that a manually selected ISO with Auto ISO enabled sets the minimum ISO, which can climb automatically as needed based on the minimum shutter speed setting you have selected in the Auto ISO settings. That setting can be Auto minimum shutter (too aggressive in my opinion as it's setting the 40 f/2 lens to 1/50th as a minimum, and I can easily shoot that at 1/8 sec. with the Zf's 8 stops of IBIS). The workaround is to set the minimum shutter speed to an extremely long shutter speed that you won't normally need – then the ISO stays where you set it. Strangely there is no "off" setting for minimum shutter speed in the Auto ISO menu. The way I would expect the top ISO dial to work is a manual ISO setting is absolute, and Auto ISO if turned on only works when the dial is changed to "C".
