Unfortunately, the Nikon Zf doesn't have 5-axis stabilization with the Voigtländer lenses and a 9.44 million pixel EVF like my fine Sony A7RV, and not to mention the first-class 61 MP sensor.
3 vs 5 axis stabilization means very little in the real world.
I'm getting very lovely output from the ZF and with modern upscaling am printing 50" wide from its supposedly inferior sensor
Who needs 9mil EVF when we have excellent MF focus aids on the Nikon? I'm never punching in or relying on the screen resolution to confirm focus with CV lenses.
Why do you keep posting this in the Sony forum?
We all know you are a huge Nikon fan, that is completely fine, but please just post that in the Nikon forum.
There are good reasons for various brands.
But, please, do not go after people that post in the Sony forum that they are very happy with the A7RV and A1 viewfinders and that they prefer Sony camaras for specific reasons. It is their right to reflect their preferences over other brands in a Sony forum. I use Sony, but I do not roam the Nikon forum seeking possibilities to point out Sony advantages to Nikon fans. What is the point of your statements here?
You have gone after me, when I stated something similar in this forum and now you go after the next person.
Why do you post in the Sony forum at all?
This is a thread about this lens that people of all brands post in, Sony, Leica, and yes, Nikon. That's how all of the Voigtlander lens image threads work. Why they are posted in Sony, who knows, ask Fred.
Who really knows if Voigtländer lenses on Nikon perform in the same way as Voigtländer on Sony lenses? Voigtländer lenses on Leica often perform quite differently (but this might be due to sensor stack thickness and microlenses).
Nevertheless it is possibly well worth exploring the specific performance of Voigtländer lenses on Nikon lenses. Who knows in which way Voigtländer has adapted their lenses to Nikon? I absolutely do not believe that it is a given, that CV/Nikon will yield same results as CV/Sony (CV/Sony is what Fred originally tested here besides CV/Leica).
But my point was a different one, please do not be dismissive of Sony posters in the Sony forum, especially when they are rather new to this forum.
And, do your own research: the closer an object gets, the greater the advantage of 5 axis IBIS versus 3 axis IBIS. Olympus has pioneered this and helpful insights into the differences between 3/5 axis IBIS can often be found in micro 4/3 forums.
To some extend it boils down to which distances a photographer typically shoots. A landscape photographer might profit less than a fan of flower close-ups or even macro photography.
