I think it's more intuitive to have the "Auto" option on the respective dials instead of how Nikon implemented this with the PASM selector.
With Fuji and Leica, there are "Auto" options on both ISO and shutter speed dials.
It is more intuitive for those of us used to analog dials with Auto on them. If someone never had used anything but PASM, then this might make more sense for them.
I'm a die hard believer in the Leica/Fujifilm setup of having Auto on the dials, but I took a chance on the Zf anyway. I'm glad I did, because it took me longer to understand the quirks of Nikon Auto ISO than it did to get used to PASM plus dials.
My issue with the Zf at the moment is around the logic of the ISO dial. It's the opposite of how you'd expect: Right now Auto mode on the PASM selector is the only mode that turns Auto ISO on when on C and off when moved off of C to a fixed value. In Aperture Priority for example, moving the selector from C to say ISO 100 leave Auto ISO on, and ISO 100 becomes the minimum ISO, not the absolute ISO.
